SketchUp 3D is software used to create three-dimensional objects on your computer screen. There’s a free version as well as a professional version. The free version is a great way to get started creating and playing with 3D objects. It’s perfect for people who are interested to create with technology but maybe not coding.

These SketchUp projects provide a range of ideas you can work with to create your own objects and environments.
