Using the Arc Tool to Create Arcs in SketchUp - Skill Builder

Odds are good you know about the Arc tool. You may even know that there are four different versions of the Arc tool... But did you know that there is a difference between single and double clicking to complete an arc? Did you know that the Arc cursor tells you what step of drawing an arc you are on?

I've been using SketchUp since 2003 and still get tips from these Skill Builders! Thanks for making them.

[@JSClements]

The double-click tip for Inside Corners (at 4:25) is a new one for me, a longtime user. Thanks.

[@motoringeek]

I did not know about double clicking on an arc. This is going to save me loads of time. Thank you.

Always fun to learn something new about something I use every day. Thanks.

oh man, this channel is so good! even for long time sketch user i learn so much!

[@vaai_design-build-ltd]

Always learn something new with these! please keep uploading.

mind blown, this shows me how to do all the stuff I was trying to idiot mode with guide points and lots of rage. Much more functional instruction than the basic arc tool video, thank you sir!

[@milotg]

although my arc tool does not do the little cyan follower nor the double click trick... must be pro only :(

[@SketchUp]

Hi Milo tG! The cyan arc will show up when you are drawing an arc that is tangent to a single line. If the arc you are drawing is tangent to TWO lines, then it will be magenta!

Hello Aron...Great demo and useful tips...Thank You...!

How do you get the 2 point arc tool to stop giving a straight line between the 2 points instead of the arc the tool is for? half the time it switches to giving me the straight line and the other half of the time it gives me an arc? This tool is so frustrating.

[@refusoagaino6824]

A couple of gems in that one.

Unfortunately, Mac sketchup version doesn't work the same and we have to find out on our own how to use the tools and create what can be easily done on a pc. Would be great if there would be tutorials for Mac users. Meantime, it's a bit frustrating.

[@SketchUp]

@LUWISS Eco Almost every single Skill Builder video (including this one) is recorded on a Mac. If there is ever functionality that is only for one operating system, it is called out in the video.

How do I draw a line tangent to 2 different circles at different diameters? Example circle 1 is 50mm, circle 2 is 75mm and they are 75mm apart from the centres.
