by placing a rectangular plane at the intersection and using the Intersection
with Model tool. It is very helpful when SketchUp provides these various
angle measurements (as no further geometric calculations necessary) using
the Protractor tool.
Conclusion
Increasingly, woodworkers around the world are adopting SketchUp as a
design tool. This application opens up new 3D capabilities that were previ-
ously unavailable, except to a few professional CAD designers and illustrators
with esoteric, hard-to-use, expensive systems. Now, woodworkers can “build”
and assemble their furniture on the computer (prior to real construction in
the shop) using SketchUp's components representing each separate lumber
piece. The joint details are also developed in the furniture model, and these
details can be easily viewed and checked with SketchUp's unlimited viewing
options. Exploded views, which are so helpful for illustrating the piece-by-
piece assembly and simplifying the construction, are now easy to create.
