Part I: Getting Started with SketchUp
✓ Model Info: This dialog box is, to quote the bard, the mother of all
dialog boxes. It has controls for everything under the sun; you should
definitely open it and take your time going through it. Chances are, the
next time you can’t find the setting you’re looking for, it’s in Model Info.
✓ Entity Info: This little guy is small, but it shows information about
entities — edges, faces, groups, components, and lots of other things —
in your model. Keeping it open is a good idea because it helps you see
what you’ve selected.
✓ Instructor: The Instructor does only one thing: It shows you how to
use whatever tool happens to be activated. While you’re discovering
SketchUp, keep the Instructor dialog box open off to the side. You can
also open it at any time by clicking the little ? icon in the status bar, at
the bottom of your screen.
