Year 8, Wow!  You did it. 

Now, let's turn our attention to a new project.

As we've discussed, our final project will be a CAD project.  The tool we will learn and use is Google SketchUp8. 

BUT first, we need to learn how it works.  We will start working through a series of video tutorials.
You MUST complete them in order to understand how the programme works and to be able to utilize them when designing and creating your project.

Here are some links to get you started.  You can also do a "keyword" search to find others;-)
