This was before collaborating with 16 other professionals on the book "Creating with SketchUp - 16 projects, from architecture to theater" to be released November 6, 2009 published by Pearson.

Speed up your work with SketchUp
Organize your model can significantly accelerate SketchUp. But this is not the only way! The other way to make SketchUp faster is to work faster by configuring SketchUp to improve its usability and using all the shortcuts available to you. These points are developed in detail before you learn to ...
You get by when "it gets stuck" with SketchUp
"Create with SketchUp" is not intended to substitute for the online help SketchUp. I presuppose that you already know a line drawing, extruding a face. You've already experienced your first successful modeling ... And as your initial frustration. The second chapter of the book presents the most common situations that you face ... And especially how to cope. In short, what you prepare for ...
Exceed the apparent limits of SketchUp
Some authors, such as architect Tim Danaher, are constantly pushing the apparent limits of the software. We had not said that was impossible with SketchUp, so he did. In his study, Tim explains how a model of architectural most complex of architectural workshop Coop Himmelb (l) to round a missing functionality of SketchUp.
You can then ...
Quickly create and test variations of your projects
That's what you said Takeshi Hashimoto, architect and moderator PushPullbar, through a case study with the realization of a project competition in New Zealand.
In a few clicks, you can replace one or more parts of your project alternatives.
A famous saving time when time is tight for this project as bringing together many stakeholders who have successfully ...
Working in teams on a single model SketchUp
Even so SketchUp does not work with external references, you'll be quite able to work on the same model using the method developed by Takeshi for his project.
But to present a project competition, rendering SketchUp sometimes lacks realism. It is sometimes necessary ...
SketchUp To collaborate with other CAD software and image synthesis
Because you offer several authors for the achievement of technical plans with Layout 2 (available in SketchUp 7.1) but also with graphics:
• Artlantis
• 3D Studio Max
• Piranesi
• Kerkythea
• or simply Photoshop
To conclude the book, we could not miss of a major new SketchUp 7. The icing on the cake, so you'll ...
Learn to create dynamic components with SketchUp 7
This is the invitation you made Matt Chambers, an expert trainer and internationally recognized through the analysis of 3 dynamic components used to download.

Using SketchUp applied to a wide range of trades
What makes "Create with SketchUp" both original and practical, is to have assembled 16 authors from business backgrounds and very different. Open the project in Anglophone authors allowed to make professional use for which it does not (yet) SketchUp in Francophone countries.
I hope that the examples presented in this book are worthy of emulation.
I want to thank all authors who have shared their experience and excellent advice, I'll publish in the coming weeks a series of presentations / interviews with each author of the book. It's my way of saying thank you for their participation and advice exchanged. -
Thank you, Pilou.
Now I'm more eager than before to get this book. I'll be waiting for Monsieur Brixius to release the book in English... if he ever does.

Hi,
For What I know now, The book'll be in french only. But maybe, they'll edit a english version in future. Hope that this book'll help the french community and all professionnal who are not aware of SketchUp capabilities. I Think it'll offer a lot of good ressources for everybody.

It's not my traduction

I have translated only the first paragraph

Hi,
Thanks a lot to Panga for the link and especially to Pilou for sharing the translation of my announcement article made by Richard on [PushPullBar]2. Much appreciated
Yes, the book is in French only at this time. An English version is not (yet) in preparation but as most of the authors are English-speakers, it could be done quite easily. I think it will depend on the success of the French version. The editor, Pearson, is an international leader in the education publishing so an English version is quite possible.
I hope you will gain as much from reading the book as I did writing it and collaborating with the other professional authors of the book. It had been a great and fun adventure !
