Drawing Tools are your most commonly used tools in creating any design composition. These tools are simple and straight forward. This is to help you create two-dimensional to 3d object.
The starting point is to create a line, or arc or even squares and circles that is an objects with a surface that can be extruded using PUSH/PULL tool. This is the only tool you can use to create three dimensional objects. LINE and ARC tools are used to create irregular shapes as in the creation of a plan layout in different shapes, connecting the first point with your last created point, the object you drew will become a closed polygon (with a surface) that can be extruded too. This is a great way to help you understand the basic principle in creating a 3d object. Watch the video tutorial and take some time to explore these tools. Once you have learned and got familiar with the tool, you are more likely to enjoy using sketchup.
