Wow, so I am a very new beginner, I had actually stumbled onto this feature and use it all the time. I really like how you can click on an edge, type a number and the guide line does that distance . I use it in all my models. Now if I can learn the bending tools I'll be all set lol
After the first 3 minutes of showing us what not to do - that could have been left out - the video was very good. Would have liked to see how to set up guides that are not parallel to another edge (or perpendicular to an axis). By default guides are all on one layer that is not listed in the tags/layers window so you get all or nothing with them. It can be helpful to set up other tags/layers specifically for guides which can then be toggled on/off for use/reference. I always allocate my guides to such specific layers so when drawing a surveyed building for example, that is an irregular shape, I have guide tags for each side of the building (front, rear, left and right) and once they have been used for reference I turn the tag off. Prior to doing it this way my drawing was a myriad of guides that I could not differentiate between. Thanks for making the video
Hello Aron...Thank You for your tutorials...! If you make guidelines on a component or group, You can then "enter" and make more guides in here..."Delete all guides" is then active Only inside this component/group. (When you close the group/component, guides outside are still present). PS: Guides can be moved and rotated via the normal tools. Helpful on roofing angles.
Sounds liek you woudl benefit from either checking out SketchUp Campus (learn.sketchup.com) for structured learning, or visit up on Friday afternoons (Mountain time) for a live modeling session!
Trying to select, reposition, or even identify where existing guidelines are in SketchUp has proven very frustrating. Is this process easier with the Desktop app compared to the web-based version of SketchUp? Heck, can't even figure out how to toggle their visibility!
I have it set up in mm. Every time I click and hold and then type in a measurement and then release. Not only does it not put in the measurement that I have chosen. It makes its own one up. This is very frustrating. I hope that I'm doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
Welcome to the Internet. The way it works is by using the "Search Bar" to learn what you want to learn instead of asking the first person you see. Try it! It's free! 👍☕
Sketchup is amazing!
The more i play with it, the more i like it :)

Perfect! Exactly what I have been looking for but never knew, until now of course, how to do this. Thanks.

Excellent points! Thanks for the additional tips!
Good stuff. I cannot imagine completing a model without using at least one guide.
I feel like such a face-palming dufus whenever I watch one of these :) - thanks.
Thanks Aaron! Always something new to learn.
Thank U ❤
Thanks Aaron.
Can you please draw a complete model by utilizing all the commands so that we can follow your drawing and get some tips from there.

at 3.26 you say tap the alt or options key - did you mean the control key? That is how it worked for me!
These are really helpful, thanks for this upload.
I wish guide lines can be use as a boundary for adding materials or colors to an object.
Great video thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Click and release, then move in the desired direction, then type the dimension and hit Enter.
@@SketchUp that's what I do. And it gives the wrong measurements
Hi there! is there a way to turn lines into guide lines?
Nice tool. More useful
SACAGAWEA!!!!!!!!
Informative. ..

Ooh nice
Why make easy things complicated ??? A good video must last no more than 1 min to explain sketchup guides functioning ...
GO ARCHETECTURE SON!!
