• Watch the Getting Started course tutorials (free)

Webinar Tips:

• Download the Zoom app.
• Use headphones. The audio quality is much better for everyone else.
• Use a second screen/display. You can sign in multiples times. Many users have success streaming my screen onto a tablet or second monitor to keep your primary display available to model in SketchUp. This prevents having to switch back and forth from the screenshare.
• Stuck? You can share your screen and I can also request mouse control to assist.
• Recording Afterwards. Should you need to leave the session early, I will provide a screen recording link to the session.
