Taking Inferencing to the Next Level

The inferencing system in SketchUp is one of the things that sets it apart from many other 3D modeling tools. When modeling in SketchUp, inferencing is always running and offering you options on where to click or how to draw in 3D space. A big difference between a SketchUp beginner and someone on track to becoming a SketchUp legend is their ability to use inferencing to draw exactly what they want.

In this chapter, we will cover three main topics:

  • Inputting with inferencing
  • Inferencing and tools
  • Using inferencing with objects
