Drawing Area
The drawing area in SketchUp is a three-dimensional space where users create and
manipulate their 3D models. The primary feature in this space is the three axes: red (X),
green (Y), and blue (Z). These axes are crucial for orientation and measurement within the
model.
X-Axis (Red): Extends horizontally from left to right. Positive values move along the
axis to the right, while negative values move to the left.
Y-Axis (Blue): Extends vertically from the bottom to the top. Positive values move
along the axis upward, while negative values move downward.
Z-Axis (Green): Extends into and out of the screen. Positive values move along the
axis toward the viewer, while negative values move away.
