Zooming
Another powerful tool is the Zoom tool, which lets you zoom in and out. For example, suppose you have the drawing in Figure 1.23, a small boat, and you want a closer look.
FIGURE 1.20 The Furniture subcategories.
FIGURE 1.21 Furniture models.
FIGURE 1.22 A glass-topped table.
FIGURE 1.23 A small boat.
You can zoom in with the Zoom tool to see more detail, as you can see in Figure 1.24.

In fact, zooming is such a common thing to do in SketchUp that the mouse wheel is reserved for this purpose—wheeling one way zooms in, the other zooms out.
