To add thickness to the part, I use the Push/Pull tool. Just type in 1,1 and click "Enter" and that gives me my rectangle. These dimensions will pop up in the bottom right corner of the screen in the small box down here. I am going to make this one meter by one meter. If I want to make it an exact size, I can type in the dimensions of it. I am going to start from the center of the universe here in SketchUp, the origin, and draw a rectangle. I am going to bring it into the view area. I just selected the rectangle tool over here. I am going to make some simple blocks just to show you how SketchUp really works. I am just going to get rid of him because he's a little distracting. First, this guy here is for scale in the drawing. That's going to make navigation work in SketchUp a lot easier. Go to View Toolbars and I amgoing to add the Large Tool Set and the Views. Before we get started, I am going to turn on some toolbars that we are going to want to see. We are going to be working in meters, so select Simple Template in meters and then click "Start Using SketchUp". To start off, click on the "Choose Template" button here. Today we are going to be using SketchUp to create some simple 3D drawings.
