Love it! I find your teaching style so interesting that I watch tutorials sometimes with no particular application in mind. Yet it fills my bag of tools to draw on when I need them. Thanks for more tools for my bag!👋
Awesome, I use both methods 99% of the time; importing hand sketches to model into architecture and interior spaces. Great job explaining both in under 10 minutes. Stay awesome!!!
Hi Aaron, I'm a big fan of you and nearly watched all of your tutorials and learned a lot. I love the way you teach, talk, make mistakes and joke. In this video I think you missed a tip. I had trouble importing the pictures with high resolution, then one day I figured out how to do it in another video. Preferences - OpenGL - Use maximum texture size. Maybe it is only for windows version. Anyway, thanks for all of your videos, love from Turkey!
Both of these reference image methodologies are very handy tricks of the SketchUp trade, especially the scaled image used for tracing. As a Mac user however, I also find using macOS's Mission Control virtual desktops to be very handy if you don't have a multiple monitor setup. I run SketchUp in one desktop, and can bring up reference PDFs or JPGs in (multiple) adjacent desktops. By default, Mac uses the Control-Left and Control-Right arrow key shortcuts to quickly switch desktops to the left and right. I also use multiple desktops to run both SketchUp and Layout together with the same quick Ctonrol-Arrow key swapping trick.
Thank you Aron for this video which always teaches us a little more about Sketchup. It is very enriching and very clear. Well done! See you soon. Pat (France)
Thanks for this video! I’m just trying to learn to model from schematics etc. One little thing, there is a perfectly good scale at the bottom of the chart that would be great for setting the proper scale of the project.
Hummmmm, something I’ve always done in Adobe Illustrator but not in SU. Now I have another tool to consider when tracing or the like. Much gracious Aaron
Nice tip regarding the watermark. What I one day hope to see is how to handle imported dwg files with coordinates far from origin. No-one seems to ever mention this obvious problem in SketchUp.
I have a series of photos of a car on a checkerboard floor. The photos go all the way around the car. I don't have drawings and I want to model the car. Can I use perspective matching to model the car?
This has an advantage over Photo Match, you can eventually delete the reference image. If you delete the Photo Match image, you lose the image tracing at same time!!
Since sketchup lost the contract with google earth I have not had much luck geolocating and establishing accurate contours. Is there a work-around that will work with google earth 3D? Tx, Rich
@@AaronMakingStuff none of your other providers cover my rural property; resolution is no-where near as good as google earth even in cities sorry to say. I am only wanting to do a site plan for my little house (not in private practice) but this is one big mistake made in negotiations. Tx for your reply.
@@rmontena4583 Alas, no one out there has near the resolution and coverage of Google... unfortunately, they closed the doors and no longer allow third parties to use their data!

Hi Aaron. Can I just say how much I value your tutorials. I am learning so much from them.
Aaron, great tip.

I was just searching your channel for exactly this! It's like you read my mind! 😂🥰
This has been a huge help especially for site photos to reference. Thanks very much!!

As usual, very helpful and new info always...love the watermark demo, too.
Just made a huge improvement in my modelling thanks Aaron
This video was of unmeasurable value to me, for more than the uses mentioned here.
I just really like the way you explain things
ja!
Thanks!
Always great info. Thanks
Love all of your videos! Very helpful!

We got that! I was recoded a while back, but I think it is all still correct! ruclips.net/video/XnazjJ19bQo/видео.html
Thanks Aaron, clearly explained as always.
Good Stuff, Aaron.
Thanks Aaron, great tip today!
Love it. You reminded me of a few things too. Thanks!
smart advice here. Bravo.
Thanks Aaron.
Отличный совет! Спасибо!
Honestly that was an awesome Idea. thanks
I have multiple monitors myself. My Wacom Cintiq 22HD being one of them.
that's a great tip. Thank you,
Nice. More. Things take a while to sink in where I'm concerned. 🐴😁

Brilliant
hmm bring it in as a watermark and throw it in the background. Great solution.
I thought that was the default way. Anyways, that's how I improvised, because I understood that alt-+tabbing is not an option:)
I use blueprints for laying out items.
This has an advantage over Photo Match, you can eventually delete the reference image. If you delete the Photo Match image, you lose the image tracing at same time!!
Can we download the files you use , like the images
thank you very much
Thanks!

You can still geo locate in SketchUp Pro. Google shut down our ability to use their map data, but we use other providers.

@@AaronMakingStuff so you understand my/our frustration. Tx
Thanks, looks like the Orca from Jaws.
I think I see that too 😉 ruclips.net/video/tq0fTFIPAIU/видео.html
The name of the image he pulls in as the watermark is named "orca side.jpg".
Sherrif: We need a bigger .... Monitor !!
... gut!
i want this blueprints.
id sketchup crashing???
