I build pergolas and after finding this software I've taken my company to the next level I LOVE IT, also thanks for all the tips you are a master! I've much to learn, I just started last night but was able to make (within 2 hours :D) a minimalist pergola Thank you so much for your content, happy holidays!!
I´ve been using Sketchup for more than 10 years, almost 15, and still learning new tricks. I specially love the sync views, to have the same scene at different timestamps so i can make kind of a timelapse, or simply view the same scene in day or night configurations. Always learning. Thank you
I thought I know almost all tricks because all of the tutorial I'm watching, bur i think I just knew 2 of the 15. Awesome timesaving tips. One Trick I missed, but maybe you mentioned it on a previous video, is how to move a single point of a object. You probably already know, that drowing a line to that point ant than choosing the line, it make it possible, to move the single point. Thanks again for sharing you knowhow!
Fantastic tips. I realise that I watched it earlier but still have forgotten to adopt many of these wonderful hidden gems. I will make sure to practice them now to remember them.
Camera sync is gold! Also, Sketchup is clearly becoming more and more streamlined for a hands-off-keyboard approach, specifically in conjunction with a 3D mouse. In addition to the last tip, right clicking in empty space or anywhere off the active group will bring up a context menu that includes Close Group etc. 2 clicks vs one keyboard key, but eliminates the need to take your hand off the 3D mouse.
It always excites me when I stumble upon some nifty ways to use SketchUp's in-built tools in different ways. Glad to have seen such examples in your video. Thanks for uploading!
Regarding the push pull issue with a selected face, I also found if you right click on a different face then the selection will move to that and the push pull tool will still be active. So, right click new face, then left click new face to push pull it. Just another alternative.
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to put these great tips in a video. Like so many other commenters / longtime SketchUp users, several of your tips are new to me and will be very helpful. And thanks for the summary and time markers in the description. I printed them out to remind myself, along with bookmarking the video for future reference!
I still use version 2020, but the Tilda sign hides other groups in the scene, where ESC closes the component / group. Great video, learned some new tricks.
thanks & great - every single hint here!! (only I didn´t get the last one) Anyway, it's always so worth going back to the SkUp basics and I wonder every time how many more Easter eggs still are hidden in there !
You mentioned the Middle Mouse Button to Orbit option. While it is depressed that adding the left side button switches to Pan Tool. You need to hold both down to continue to use them. BUT, If alternatively you substitute the right side button instead. It adds a dialog drop down box with all the Camera Tool Options with out leaving the mouse. This frees up you mouse hand, then a quick tap of the right key brings the dialog box back. To change to a different tool or exit.
Move object A midway between objects B and C by allowing A to share B's location. Then ctrl-copy A to share C's location and then press forward slash key, hit numeral 2 key and hit enter. Finally, erase the A objects that are sharing B and C's locations.
Thank you. I learnt a lot with this usefull tips. Just have problems with the last tip because on azerty keyboard it doesn't work. I search and i find there's no shortcut for the alienazerty users. So Just go on shortcut option in SU and search the close all component and say ² for shortcut. now you have the shortcut even you are an alien :)
Definately NOT a Master. Only knew 2 of these and about 10 of them address daily frustrations I have. Thanks for taking me to school. Have you ever gone over Elevation Masking. It's in the Sonder book, but wondering if you have done a specific video on it.
ok so to flip many misclainous faces, have your reverse face set to a keyboard shortcut then.... go into the push pull tool, as you hover over faces it selects them. hit your flip face short cut over and over as you hover over each face to be flipped. much faster!
Quite a few tips here that I didn't know about and could find useful. In the last one, you mention using a tilde modifier. Is there a Mac equivalent (no tilde key!)?
Hi, is there a feature to set a scene view vertically strait along the blue axis automatically ? i ususally do it by straightening a vertical guide along the safe frame
Do you have any idea how can rotate the scene along the bluew axis, without moving or freezing the vertical line of the scene, so that the image will stay straight always vertically?
Hi masterSketchUp - great trics for us Tks alot. I have two doubts about the five tric, input only one value - insert (,) comma + a value, When i start rectangle click 1º and 2º point and keyboard (,) comma + value the SU assume a decimal value, ( 0,5m) to the first value of rectangle, ( my SU is 18) - last tip, which is to close the group / component; I think I understand when you say it; "to close the group, just type the comma (,) + number 1, (one)??
I have model of cabinet with three drawers with runners , each of this three drawers are the same component. I would like to ctrl+x (cut) runners from all three drawers at the same time and ctrl+v (paste) outside component, but when I do this I get one runner outside component and another two disappear.
I noticed one modifier for P (push-pull). If I drag a face, the original face goes away and I must do something to fill it back in. Holding CTRL when I start P causes the original face to stay intact. I'm sure there are other modifiers, I just haven't pursued them.
I'm blown away by tip no. 1! So many hours of stress that little bs has caused me over the years!
I've been using sketchup for over 10 years, and have just learned a couple of new things. THANK YOU!!!
Me too.... Thanks heaps, Matt.

After so many years enjoying SketchUp, this video has taken it to another level. Thank you!
Sync camera location is a new one for me. Cheers for this, Matt. Have a safe and happy holiday season and an awesome 2021...
I use SketchUp a lot and I didn't know almost all of them. Thank you for sharing these helping tips.
I've been working on sketchup for years and it's the first time I see this tips on the net!! excellent...

Excellent presentation. And your book was exactly what I needed to get going with SketchUp. Thank you!
Thanks Matt. Camera sync and scale tips were my faves.
20 years using SU - did not know about the multiple selection / make unique! Awesome stuff Matt!
Haha, nice! Glad I could provide something even for experienced users.
Fantastic tips. I realise that I watched it earlier but still have forgotten to adopt many of these wonderful hidden gems. I will make sure to practice them now to remember them.
its okay sir u have more time left , PRACTICE MAKES MAN PERFECT
OMG, THANK YOU THANK YOU for the tip on syncing camera position!
Glad you liked that one!
Thanks for those tips, I was always wondering how to make a sphere and make curves smoother, I did not know how to change the segments.
Half of those tips I did not know, thanks. My modeling in SketchUp just got way easier.
On tip no3 I would remove the option to pre-pick face, you can uncheck that in Preferences - Drawing - Disable pre-pick on Push/Pull Tool
Oh nice! That's much better! Not sure I ever knew that one.

I only liked this because there isn't a love button. Way too many subtle tips that I should have known after ~15yrs of use. Thank you!

Wow! This has been so useful. Thanks a lot for your work.
Excellent video, Matt. I'm subscribing now.

I still use version 2020, but the Tilda sign hides other groups in the scene, where ESC closes the component / group. Great video, learned some new tricks.

Any chance your book Sketchup & Layout for architecture will be updated?
amazing tips btw.
Thank you!
