You can draw the box using the rectangle tool, and then use the push-pull tool to extrude it into a 3d shape. Let’s start off by drawing a box, then extruding it into a cube.

In my last tutorial, I talked about using the scale tool in SketchUp to modify your two dimensional shapes by resizing, reshaping, or mirroring your shapes. Modifying 3D Shapes in SketchUp Using the Scale Tool
