I have noticed the teal and magenta colors when using the arc tool, but never really knew what they were indicating. Thanks very much for another well presented vid!
Great! We like watching these videos a lot ) There is always something new I learn from these simple and clear lessons. Thank you very much for this format.
Great episode. I've being having a hard time drawing a circle with the center perpendicular to a line that is not on axis, to create complex pipes for example... can't figure out an easy way to do it. Thank you. Awesome stuff.
Thanks Aaron, a quick question if I may? When you inferenced off the cube that was off axis. the face of your new rectangle was parallel to the cube face but the horizontal and vertical edges were at a different angle to the original cube face, is there any way to force the newly drawn face to match the edge angle of the original? I know I could copy the face and move the copy out to be the same but I wondered if it was possible to do this with inferencing?
Good question! I was wondering that also. At this point, I'm thinking the best way to do it is to copy/paste the original face to a different location. _OR_ If you only want it straight out and away from the original a short distance, use ctrl + push/pull to pull it out, then erase the middle lines and you'll have only that face hanging in the air.
02:00 What confuses me about this is when you tap one of the arrow keys the rectangle is drawn *perpendicular to* and not *on* that plane. To me it seems more logical that the plane of the rectangle being drawn would be placed on the *axis selected* and not perpendicular to it. Until I get my brain to accept the SU version of reality I am doomed to struggle with this.
Hey Aaron, will or can the push pull tool do it’s thing perpendicular to a surface if you inference a face (all edges are magenta)?? Similar to drawing a perpendicular line . Thanks
Push poll only moves normal to the selected face, so axis inferencing isn’t really of much use. You can still inference other points in the model, which is helpful, though!
I think a lot of that comes down to personal preference. Not much is easier for me in parallel projection… I find it easier to do everything in Sketchup in perspective.
Hi Aaron, please please please, do a quick video tutorial on how to deal with inferencing when there are lots of objects in the space. I'm going nuts because when detail modelling, inferencing snaps to everything. I can't even eyeball move an object into place at times because it wants to snap. How do you get around this issue?
it seems it is nearly impossible to easily turn off inferencing. it is only on a tool by tool basis that you can modify it. constraining to a plane helps as does creating your geometry in a group. Ive been dealing with this when using an imported mesh as a guide for a model. the mesh is a million edges and sketchup wants to snap to. a great improvement would be to turn off inferencing by group and / or tag.
This series is earning you a place in heaven. It should be the first thing you watch if you're new to SketchUp.
can't wait for the next thrill packed episode, thanks.

Little things that make a big difference. Thank you Aaron!!!!!!!

Lots of really great info! Thank you for the work you are doing, and sharing.
Like these Inferencing episodes. Thank-you.
Good Stuff, Aaron.
Great video, thank you. I found it really helpful to also watch the inferencing lesson in the SketchUp Campus training.
Thanks Aaron, this helps a lot.

Love the Square One videos for Sketchup Pro. Are they available for Layout?
Thank You!

Cyan is tangent
I need a SketchUp T-Shirt that says that.

I feel that video have inferencing with my brain in a weird way (and a good one, I guess). XD.
If I do SU modeling often enuf, I start to dream in SketchUp and can only think about irl objects in terms of my arrow keys and mouse buttons.

How much easier would it be showing parallels and perpendiculars in Parallel View instead of Perspective, don't you think?
I think a lot of that comes down to personal preference. Not much is easier for me in parallel projection… I find it easier to do everything in Sketchup in perspective.
What is the software or settings used to display the keystrokes in this video?
Thanks for clarifying this feature! Does anyone know what apps he is using to display his keystrokes and mouse clicks? Thanks!
Aaron uses Visualize for Mac.
Camtasia by Techsmith for PC does that as most decent teaching / recording software will have. Among other goodies.

@Mark S
Can you hide the other objects momentarily?
Can't do that for @rshawiii's issue, tho...

I make alot of Platonic Shapes.
I can't tell you how much time I've wasted trying to reference those angles...

Unfortunately why can't work on Android phones, because laptops will be very busy in bars and construction sites. Please have app on your phone!
