    Group early and often. This piece of advice has completely changed my life. lol. I have been testing SketchUp for awhile by just exploring the tools. I have looked at a few other videos along the way but your video by far helped me change the way I need to approach the software. Kudos for hitting the important points. Just an excellent teaching video all the way the way around. Succinct, clearly spoken and fun. Thank you for doing this video!

    You are an amazing teacher! thank you SO MUCH, you obviously have taught many neophytes how to do this and solved problems along the way, so you have predicted/prevented so many issues! Two things I had to look up elsewhere that you might want to cover (I viewed only your "Get Started with SketchUp" and this video) were:
    1. To have the "group objects" option come up, you have to select objects by drawing a rectangle around all the objects, you can't select them by clicking on them; if you do, then right click, the "group objects" option does not appear.
    2. to use the push-pull tool for an object in the direction you want to, you have to click on the FACE of the object you want to move. I wanted to move a wall in to make a room narrower and I kept clicking on the wall in floorplan view (so, unbeknownst to me selected the face of the wall thickness) and all the push-pull would do is make the wall taller or shorter.
    Thank you so much for making this so valuable in such a short amount of time!

    As a daily Revit user, I tried using SketchUp back in 2010/11 and found it so frustrating I quit using it. Now 12 years later I thought I'd give it a second chance, and came across this video. You're a great teacher, so this is no reflection of your teaching ability, but I am so glad I don't use SketchUp and am definitely not going to give it that second chance now. Oh my goodness, this is so painful to watch someone have to go through 5-10 steps to do something that takes 1 step and 5 seconds in Revit. I get that they are two totally different programs and that Revit is literally for architecture while Sketchup is more of a jack-of-all-trades software similar to AutoCAD, but I will never understand why people subject themselves to the torture of using SketchUp for home design. Again, you really are a good teacher and I really did want to give SketchUp a second chance. But there is just no way now. I would abandon my career if I had to use this program.

    4:16 something to mention here is that the bottom left corner gives a guide on what to do with the selected tool, and any options you many need to choose. Several of the tools give you multiple options, and it is a very helpful reference for remembering the hotkeys. an example would be when placing circles it gives the option for inscribed, circumscribed, and changing the number of segments. this can be helpful for drawing polygons without changing tools.
    19:27 you can also use the arrow keys to lock the rotate tool, or any of the drawing tools to a specific axis. I find it really helpful with rotate, as the tool tends to jump around, and it means I don't have to change my view.

One question: I use SketchUp Pro, so the interface on this looks a bit different than my version, but is there a difference between Tags and Layers? They seem to function similarly and offer the same benefits.

    • @SketchUpSchool

    Good video. One tip for the roof pitch is you can also type in 2:12 instead of the degrees.

      Yes - typing a slope notation works as well. Thank you for sharing that tip!

    This is an excellent tutorial!! Very well done. I'm just starting out with SketchUp and watched many other videos before stumbling upon yours. Your video taught far more than any of the others. One thing that's not very clear to me is how you knew to size the original door opening so the 3D folding door component fit later on. Are there dimensions in the 3D component that you use to create a relative opening for? Can the component be resized as long as the aspect ratio of the component is adhered to?

    • @SketchUpSchool
      @SketchUpSchool  2 года назад

      You can measure a component using the Tape Measure tool and know the dimensions that way. You can also resize components to fit an existing opening. If you need more advice for either of these options, send us a message at team@sketchupschool.com and one of our instructors will give you some advice.

    Amazing video! Thank you so much. I'm struggling with the door/window cut outs, cant seem to find the point where it says "on face" and automatically cuts the door out?? Had a look though the comments and I seem to be the only one struggling with this :/ Is there something I am missing??

    • @Damedog1989
      @Damedog1989 9 месяцев назад

      I can pull the rectangle outwards but cant seem to push it inwards enough for "on face" to appear as shown in the video, however, if I push far enough then the shape pushes out the other side of the house!

    The first time I followed this tutorial and all went well, learned a lot. Now I'm redoing my plan and for some odd reason my Offset tool is giving me issues. I am going inwards to create the wall, but it keeps adjusting it into an exterior and increases my building footprint by an entire foot, even though I'm typing 6" inwards. Any ideas what could be causing this? I came back to this video to make sure I'm not making mistakes and can't seem to get it working.
