Tutorials (in German) for planning terraces with parasols

[mykape]

Hi Everybody,
we have set up a series of short tutorials for planning a terrace / an outdoor dining area with Sketchup, using dynamic parasols models.

I would be very interested in your feedback as it's the first time we've done tutorials.
However, please note, we've only done the German version so far. Let me know
if you're interested in a English (French/Spanish) version!

The playlist for the tutorials is:

The tutorials themselves can be found directly here:

Guten Tag Klaus,

Solte man nicht Sketchup instalieren mittels das drucken der rechte Maustaste und "Install as administrator" an zu klicken.

Gruss,

Bep

Bep is correct. Correct installation of SketchUp on Windows 10 requires the user to right click on the installer and choose Run as administrator.

And of course if this is being used for other than hobbyist use, SketchUp Pro is required. SketchUp Make is not licensed for commercial use.
