As always with Matthias you learn something new, and in a quick, concise, and comprehensible manner.Thank you for this helpful advice, it's very much appreciated. :)
Oh, that is always a tough one. I used "microsoft video 1" in camstudio. But then the whole thing got re-encoded after editing with a different codec! A key to making it look nice is to capture at the same resolution and keep that throughout. In my case 1280x720
Thank you a lot. Congratulations for each video of your channel... All your tutorials are amazing. I am from Venezuela and I have a carpentry channel in spanish and I have learned a lot with you and your channel. Thank you Matthias.
Hi Matthias - Nice video, which I saw years ago and just reviewed again. Used this to create a side view scene for a small woodworking project, saved that as a tif file, then used your BigPrint program to make the calibrated paper template. You're stuff is really useful!
Great video! I think the layers are the most powerful feature of Sketchup. I make it a rule that everything in my Sketchup model is in a layer other than layer 0. This system works especially well if you are working on anything that resembles a box (including a drawing of a room). By assigning a layer to each side, I can quickly see anything inside the box without making special views by simply turning off layers. If you ponder this, you’ll realize that exploded views are not really necessary.
Thank you MAtthias Wandel...you are a great TEACHER.. precise words matching whats shown on the screen.. very easy to understand..you are doing a favour to engineering student community.. i am recommending these to all my students.. great job..thanks once again..
Thank you for clarifying this. I was banging my head on the wall trying to figure it out. I still wish there was a 3d program out there that would do a dimensioned layout of my solid models, like SolidWorks, but actually affordable. Sketchup Pro with Layout can, but apparently it doesn't even do dashed hidden lines without convoluted workarounds with semi satisfactory results, or needing plugins for something that should already be there. I've been making my models on Sketchup and then redrawing layouts on cad, which takes a serious amount of time.
Microphone was next to the keyboard, and the vibration transfer qutie well. It's really not that loud in real life. but the sound is kind of cool in the video.
Matthias , примите мою благодарность за урок : " Using scenes and layers " . Хотя язык я не знаю, но достаточно доходчиво и без понимания языка. Я уже в течение нескольких месяцев наблюдаю и учусь у Вас по конструированию станков и приспособлений к ним , а теперь вот и в проектировании. Иван. Украина.
I think this is the best and I tried pretty much all of the others. However, I kept seeing my text and dimensions from my "Assembly" appear in my "Main" scene. I did not grasp at first, that text and dimensions are entities and all entities must be selected and put on a specific layer. I prefer not to click the layers button to the left (which I understand can present problems). For me it is best to just select every dimension and/or text and choose the layer for it in the entities info box (safer)
Hi, thanks for your tutorial. If you want to change something in your design and have already made the scenes, you have to recopy the modified object in every scene? I am new to sketchup, but it would be interesting to have scenes that are relatives to the main scene. i.e. they don't display different objects, they just apply a serie of transformations to the main scene. Do you know if other CAD software work that way?
Ok, I think I got my answer. You can make the table (or its parts) into a component(s) . If you copy a component, modification made to one will reflect on the others.
I come up with 17,600 RPM. Given the 4" dia x 3.14 = cir of 12.5" To keep it easy I left it at 12". At 17600 RPM the rotation would complete 3.33 miles every minute. Multiply that by 60 and you get your 200 MPH. Now since I took off the .5 " you actually can go a little bit slower RPM than that to obtain the 200 MPH.
Using 2017 version? Scenes are located under the "windows" tab, then hover over the drop down "default tray"menu and tic "scenes" to enable them to appear in the tray. Next, look near the bottom of the default tray (right side panel by default) and click the "+" to add a scene.
unfortunately they have changed location of all the layers and scenes stuff in sketchup make 2016 .... very hard to find. But despite locating them, and watching this video countless times, nothing seems to work quite the same.... despite your wonderfully structured and clear explanations .... because they've introduced more nomenclature like trays, that makes it even more confusing. I finally got it to work, but ... yeesh!
Never mind how many times I set a scene to display only one layer, and update the scene, then the other, attempting to emulate what you're doing here, when ever I go and toggle between scene 1 and scene 2 afterwards sketchup always adds another layer to the display regardless of the updated settings, messing things up. And if I hide the table top in the assembly view, never mind what, it will also disappear in the main view. It's exasperating.
I am having the same issue. It works best if there is nothing on layer0. It will preserve the layers but adds layer0 back every time. I am going try adding a layer right a the beginning before drawing anything.
My idea below worked. Using entity info I moved the whole object to the main layer, leaving layer0 empty. Now all is working like the video. It seems 2016 will always add layer0 back into the scene after toggle.
I've followed your first two videos on creating the table. I can't find the video where you round off the corners of the table top. The last one I watched was creating the mortise and tenon joints. Can you point me in the right direction of that video?
I've been through this over & over. If I put the original copy on Layer Main & the duplicate on Layer Assembly, when I make a Scene showing only Layer Main, that's what happens, but when I make a Scene showing only Layer Assembly, when I switch to the 1st Scene showing only Layer Main & then back to the Scene showing only Layer Assembly, it always shows both Layers.
Sounds like you may need to add another layer for each section. Start with layer 0 and build the whole project. Then work layer by layer and scene by scene.
Superb video Mathias, however if you can place your mic directly under the key board, each of those irritating key stroke clatters can become absolutely maddening.
Hi man, good video. But I've got a question, I'm using the Sketchup pro 2017, when I click in the main or the copy to select "ENTITY INFO", the window doesn't appear, I need to do the same as you did with the component, there is another option to get this window?
I just find the answer, there is a panel avalable to make this, is not a tab in these new versión. but I've got another question, when I move the assembly, appears a message that says: the layer will be combined whit another hidden layer. Do you kwon how can I move the assebly layer to the original possition without be combined?, Thanks for your time
16807 RPM to get the outer surface of the log to spin at 200 mph. Here is the math: circumference of log is 12.5667, so 1 rev goes 12.5667 in. 1 mile is 63360 inches, 200 mph is 12,672,000 inches/hr, or 211,200 inches/minute, since 1 revolution is 12.5667 you need 16807 revolutions per minute to get 200 MPH.

Fantastic tutorial on advanced sketchup stuff Matthias! Really makes sketchup so much more useful!
Excellent Matthias!! I love the way you have to explain things with such details and so clearly. Many thanks!
WHY has it taken me so long to come across this video? Thanks Matthias, this is going to save me so much time!
Oh, that is always a tough one. I used "microsoft video 1" in camstudio. But then the whole thing got re-encoded after editing with a different codec!

Great idea how to use scenes and layers together! Thanks, Matthias!
This is something that really trips me up. Thanks!
Thanks for such a great and to the point tutorial Matthias!

Brilliant. I've always wondered; never asked. Like most things, you make it look so simple. Thank you.
thank you!!! iv spent all day trying to figer this out . exellent work
I appreciate how well you explain things! Thank you!
So good! What an educational tutorial. This is next level Sketchup for making plans. Thank you for your efforts.
Thank you MAtthias Wandel...you are a great TEACHER.. precise words matching whats shown on the screen.. very easy to understand..you are doing a favour to engineering student community.. i am recommending these to all my students.. great job..thanks once again..
Thanks, this really helped, you have got be lousy at something maybe it is cooking.
Dude, you are the best! thanks for everything, keep on rocking in the wood world! :)
Well done tutorial. I'm aware that you're Canadian, but it's so refreshing to hear Canadian/American accent using civilised metric units. :)

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for sharing this!
As usual, you do great work regardless of what you do technically and otherwise.
Good job. You made it really clear to follow and you haven't added unecessary padding. thaks for posting.
Fantastic video, Sir. Thanks for creating it!

I want more of your sketch up tutorial vids!!
Thanks Matthias! This is very useful!!!
Excellent, just what I needed, very good presentation.
I need to watch this again but you make it look so easy
Super helpful. Thanks Matthias!
back in the day, I did a lot of acad work in 3d....wish I had the time to learn sketchup. ;-)
Thank you very much! That is what I was trying to find!
Excellent! Very clear and concise. Thank you.
Thank You, Your skills are awesome.
Love your videos. thanks for sharing.
great stuff. am new at sketchup
Thanks Matthias. How do you make a cut list/diagram from the drawing? Do you use Sketchup for that or a different program?
Excellent demonstration Sir. I will use your scenes and layers technique for my views. It makes perfect sense.
i love this tutor, thanks Matthias Wandel for you tutor
Excelente meu amigo! Parabéns e Obrigado
Thank you! Helps me a lot.
thanks now I know how to sketch in sketchup from your series
thanks Matthias for this explanation.
Excellent Tutorial. Thanks.
Great clear concise instruction, thankyou
This is one of the best presentations I saw!
BUT:
What program did you use to make this presentation?
...or is it a trade secret?
Are you kidding me? It was very clear this is SketchUp
hi, fron brasil, muito bom o vídeo. very good.
I love your Vids..and learn from it. How do you screen record your designs?
Great job !!!!
sooooooo helpful...... do you have another tutorial on how to make blueprint on sketchup
wow what a nice program I'm gonna try to find it!
Mathias, this helped me a lot, but, I have a question. If you had more layers and scenes, would you have to make a 'copy' for every scene and layer?
Love this
Thank you for this tutorial

Nice Job!
Thanks Mathias
Free version, right
Thanks for this vid!
You sounded like a professional computer geeks there other than a woodmaker...
Nice tutorial.. :-)
Thanks Matthias
YOU ARE RIGHT ON!
I know and i appreciate it. :)

Thanks for the video, very good.
terima kasih banyak, tutorial yg sangat membantu , salam dari indonesia
Pretty cool vid.
I have a question for you. If i have a 4" diameter log on my lathe, how many rpm's would it take to go 200 mph?
thanks Matthias
Merci !
Thanks Jeffery.
Great series!
Would it be possible to make a cut list directly out of Sketchup?
I come up with 17,600 RPM. Given the 4" dia x 3.14 = cir of 12.5" To keep it easy I left it at 12". At 17600 RPM the rotation would complete 3.33 miles every minute. Multiply that by 60 and you get your 200 MPH. Now since I took off the .5 " you actually can go a little bit slower RPM than that to obtain the 200 MPH.
under animation.. Not ½Second, but half the time, as the configuration was changed from 2 to 1 sec
Love all you do .. BTW
great video, do you have a PhD in google sketchup and youtube video making?
Using 2017 version? Scenes are located under the "windows" tab, then hover over the drop down "default tray"menu and tic "scenes" to enable them to appear in the tray. Next, look near the bottom of the default tray (right side panel by default) and click the "+" to add a scene.

figuring in the 1/2", you can slow the RPM down to 16,896 RPMs.
I've followed your first two videos on creating the table. I can't find the video where you round off the corners of the table top. The last one I watched was creating the mortise and tenon joints. Can you point me in the right direction of that video?
Where is this program located for purchase? That is so cool!
i really thanks u.
Thanks for the help with google sketch up.
Thanks athiker.
I've been through this over & over. If I put the original copy on Layer Main & the duplicate on Layer Assembly, when I make a Scene showing only Layer Main, that's what happens, but when I make a Scene showing only Layer Assembly, when I switch to the 1st Scene showing only Layer Main & then back to the Scene showing only Layer Assembly, it always shows both Layers.
Sounds like you may need to add another layer for each section. Start with layer 0 and build the whole project. Then work layer by layer and scene by scene.
Excellent
a free version is on google, the full program is for sale there also, about 4500.00
just google sketchup.
Thank you.Good for me to begining
Thon
i will never need that knowledge but i liked soaking it in
I disable transitions too. It kind of makes me sea sick. Good for presentations though. Great work by the way!
Thanks bro
Superb video Mathias, however if you can place your mic directly under the key board, each of those irritating key stroke clatters can become absolutely maddening.
Do you have training in sketchup on wood? like udemy etc
i would like to have a cad software for my ubuntu what is the best cad software? skethup?
Hi man, good video. But I've got a question, I'm using the Sketchup pro 2017, when I click in the main or the copy to select "ENTITY INFO", the window doesn't appear, I need to do the same as you did with the component, there is another option to get this window?
I don't know. Ask someone familiar with sketchup pro 2017
I just find the answer, there is a panel avalable to make this, is not a tab in these new versión. but I've got another question, when I move the assembly, appears a message that says: the layer will be combined whit another hidden layer. Do you kwon how can I move the assebly layer to the original possition without be combined?, Thanks for your time
