I haven't used SketchUp in years. The last time I remembered doing it was to design a dog house for class. I tried to give as much detail as my 13 year old brain could, including the dog.
I recently learned this phrase: Modus Operandi. It refers to someone who continues their habitual operations. I feel like it's a way of doing things just because that's the way you've done them in the past. Instead of trying to adjust or even improve, you just stick with what you know.
this is fine as long as you remember to clean up the ngons afterwards. Only tris and quads allowed. Also remember to weld your vertexes whenever you use sketchup because it doesn't do it automatically.
No - NGons are fine in this application unless you're planning on going to some other 3D modeling software for something, which usually with SketchUp you're not.
@@Thesketchupessentials fix them anyway, if the model is going to be used for anything other than casual viewing. It also makes your model usable in a variety of other places. I understand that it works in SketchUp but why make that an excuse to do worse work? If you want it textured, or animated, used in game engine, etc it's better to just have those ngons fixed and it takes only a few seconds to fix.
If you do that you lose your planar and access to the only polygon that you could use for modeling an attic or loft. Shortcuts aren't always the best cuts. Learned that working with AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Unreal and zbrush.
actually learning the shortcuts and techniques are so useful especially in a massive scale. I've been using sketchup for around days then already had master it due to the fact that I have an experience with other 3d modelling software. I am a college now and we have this drafting subject, our professor gave us simple activities to do, floor plan and 3d model house. He expected us to do just simple house like box and roof and even gave us 1 month of time to do so. I literally had made 2 story modern house with custom interiors and furnitures that I had made from scratch and took me just 3 days combined. My classmates blew their mind when they saw my work and started to commission me to do work for them...
I haven’t seen or used sketch up since I was in early middle school. I can’t believe the default template is still the 2D guy and his dog 😂 some things never change lol
bruhh this takes me back to highschool cad classes, had to make houses with all the support frames, drywall, and every little detail... man I miss thoes days 🥲
But you do have to have a reference to know the pitch, so by that time you might as well have drawn the profile. But this is an overall good technique to master.
Fair comment - definitely wouldn't recommend this for really precise roofs as there are better ways, but it's great for quick roofs AND if you create some guides to snap to with the protractor!
@@Thesketchupessentials I guess the ONE move way is just to calculate what the rise should be based on the width of the building then just pull up the line that amount.
What if I need to draw a trapezoidal shape house with three levels all different sizes and a pool in the back half of the house that goes between the second floor and the first floor requiring that there is not to be a roof there of course...
A loop/ring cut works too if you don't mind the extra edges, shortcut is Ctrl+r. It also has options for equally spacing multiple cuts instead of just 1 at the center.
@@Thesketchupessentials Ah I was just joking around. I have a friend who works with Sketchup, she does interior design stuff mostly for clients. I just was never a fan of it. Personally I prefer Maya/3ds max. Blender is looking more and more promising though!
@@raditsyz I've done a fair amount of stuff in Blender, but I don't like it for precision/CAD style stuff. All powerful tools, just never understood the SketchUp hate - different tools for different things and all that
The hate comes from the fact that sketchup breaks conventions necessary for successful completion of geometry assets in many other programs there's rules of law associated with how your polygons can be whether or not they're faceted what their normals look like and many other things including in CAD. There's a difference between Nurbs and a ton of other types of rendering. Google SketchUp creates files in a specific way so as to be very much incompatible with other styles and so it's a nightmare to work with for anybody who's familiar with any other tool.
Depends - for some purposes sure, but if you're not doing anything that requires complex UV mapping or subdivision, it really doesn't matter, and honestly, that's the case in other programs like Blender as well.
When I was 12 I made a "porta potty" the size of a house on Sketch-up. I placed it next to my friends house on Google Earth as some kind of practical joke. Good times.
Man, my parents were architects and have them in computers, back then when I was really young I kept making empty box houses with them considering I can't download any games, so I thought this was a game that I can make to build houses XD
The only designers those use Google SketchUp that I know of are the ones using Apple computer and can’t install Rhino or Solidoworks or any other legit modeling sw
I love the assumption that Blender is just a blanket replacement for SketchUp - it's AWFUL for any kind of production style architectural modeling - it's not an either/or - they're really not for the same things...
@@ipga13 Lol - and it doesn't solve the problem of any of the above programs not being good options for production architectural modeling (Plans, precision modeling, etc are not their strengths) 😎 Hence...SketchUp
I rather do 2 extra steps to make a more precise roof then what u doing fam.... Yes u get it done faster but then u have to go back and straighten things
@@Thesketchupessentials Within this application it's actually completely okay but if we were export into an fbx and wanted to render it within another software such any modern unreal or source 2 engine it will cause lighting issues. I admit within this software it's only principle and not a requirement.

I remember playing around with SketchUp in my Dad laptop in early 2000s
Same
I remember use this in.. 2020
Thanks, next time I'm making Monopoly houses and hotels cuz I ate them all, I'll be sure to use this trick.
I quite literally burst out laughing. Thank you for the entertainment.
what.. do they taste like.. im hungry and need snacks
..
@gluppo p00psh1tt they taste slightly better than american "cheese" (aka processed cheese).
@@snail1635 i want to eat a crunchy plastic house do you think i would have a disdain towards the plasticized cheese
So much nostalgia. It reminds me of my childhood when I did not know about existence of Blender :D
Same. I started put with Sketchup with a lot of plugins and Vray.
The nostalgia of building something in this on our computer is strong

Love it :)
Bruh all of yall being nostalgic of something Im learning💀
Don’t learn Google SketchUp you are getting yourself into a dead end. My favorite is Solidworks but Rhino, Fusion, Alias are all solid choices
please switch to blender
@@dominicduncan9895 Blender is not true 3D, it’s for 3D graphics. Also it is way too new, by the time I went to college it’s not even a thing yet
Why are you learning sketch up 💀
fusion for dimensional 3d (like 3d printing) blender for visualisation and simulation
I think you're a smart guy. I love the way you explain
I actually do started with Sketchup, never went back after I used Blender, but it brings good memories 😄
Tack du är den bästa läraren. Utan alla dina tips och råd så hade jag gett upp 3D modelering och printning 🙏🙂

Omds with advice like this I would have been able to finish my engineering assignment in time
I have this in DT tomorrow and I had this exact problem last time.
I had to do a million sketch up assessments in computer science class when I was younger.
YOOOO I REMEMBER USING THAT APP IN SCHOOL 😭 There was a whole lesson on it
One lesson? I spent 2 years learning sketchup in school, it was awesome!
Lmao same

Not really. All you do is hide the two faces that make up the roof and you're right there

line + move, mann i miss this program
I used to do that back in the days and then I realized quickly that I could just draw a line and lift it up like that.

Lol - good times :)
I've been a sketchup user for almost 20 years since 2002, when i was 14 years old, nice helping the new users bro!.
I still remember using this app in secondary school lol
wow a tutorial that actually does it in less steps
Thank you for trick 😊
omg i forgot about sketchup we used to say that our teacher created his children with the push pull tool 💀
You just made a roof that will make every carpenter on the planet cry.
Thanks for tutorial thank
My high-school art class had a semester using Sketch-Up, shit was awful, but fun with friends lol
Thank you!
I don't know what this programm is for, but bro, ngons are everywhere man.
I mean...in this case it really doesn't matter...
i remember messing with this on the computer in the library before getting yelled at for it after i did it enough times💀
This can work for extremely simplistic designs but not for ones that are realistic and can actually be applied into real life
Thanks :)

Yes, yes, we see you now how to make a roof, but lets see the over hand and the degrees required for certain roof materials..
Great for building context
Yep!
even quicker, just make the cross section sketch include the roof and extrude.
Nice video!

Good tip
Thanks!
What if you want a 30 or 45 or 60 degree roof ?
I never thought of it that way
My mind blown
Why is everybody saying that sketchup isn't good anymore. Isn't it still one of the best softwares for this type of work?
Yeah that's got me confused. Here in Latin America it's the most popular architecture app after Revit and autocad. Maybe it's more of an US thing?
@@Derekuko Yeah I guess so
Raise the roof! 🎉
LOL

How would you do specific roof pitches for example a 10 pitch which is at 39.81 degrees?
Sketch up was so easy to learn and intuitive i never got to learn the better tools. Now I'm too old to learn
You aren’t too old for anything. What would you want to learn?

Whats the move tool and copy mode
Lot of people on here saying that sketchup is a dead end, what software could someone recommend to me? im a furniture maker and woodworker
What program are you useing
I use SketchUp exclusively for 3d modeling I'm too dumb to use anything more advanced. And for 3d printed parts it's actually accurate to 0.01mm
Awesome tip
You could also just use a 3d suite :)
What kind of 3D suite?

My school made us use sketchup last year and it was torture
What part didn't you like?
Overhang, specific pitch, different spans different heights, etc?
You can do all of that with the face and edges that are created
how can do it in grasshopper?
There is even easier way:
Select right line ; press M ( move) ; Press Ctrl (copy) ; and copy the line to the middlepoint 🎉
That would work - not sure it's necessarily any faster, but it's not slower either :)
What app is this its seems cool
What's the name of this program
Oh good, one of these tutorials that isn't complete garbage. Like seriously, almost all others that I see take more time
this threw me violently back into middle school

isnt good topology a thing in sketchup too?
