How to Make a Chair on SketchUp

A chair is a good project for beginners because it teaches many of the basic strategies used in SketchUp.

1. Open Google SketchUp. Google SketchUp 6 can be downloaded for free at the SketchUp website. This is not hard to do.

2. Create a rectangle and use the PUSH/PULL tool to create a 3D rectangle.

3. Using the Line tool, draw a side-view 2D chair on one sides of the object.

4. Use the Push/Pull tool to remove the blocks and shape the chair.

5. Change your view to under the chair and create a rectangle for the front leg.

6. Use the Push/Pull tool to push that part away and shape the front legs of the chair.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the back legs of the chair.

8. Increase the height of the backrest of the chair and create an arc near the top using the Arc tool.

9. Use the Push/Pull tool to shape the final form of the chair.
