I love ❤️ the way you created and awesome, love it and thank you 🙏

[@APJardine]

Great video demonstrating some key fundamentals. Will be saving to my favorites to look over each principle in detail.

[@mumumuesli4448]

Hey Justin, Thank you again for another VERY INSTRUCTIONAL tutorial, I have been struggling with "section planes" and I am so happy to watch you select each individual group to illustrate a helpful view into the materials that actually make up the model. super helpful! thank you!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks very much! Glad you found it helpful!

[@vicarioustube]

VERY nice tutorial, as always. You answer so many questions! Thank you.

[@sibumaz]

Three years later but still very relevant and easy to follow guidance, thank you so much. Love and light!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks - glad you liked it!

[@michaelcrossley4716]

His intro sounds like every other RUclipsr from 2017. Hope he's updated that. Other than that, his videos are great.

[@ruchirasardesai3788]

i was looking for a video to explain this sectional detailing procedure and this does the job just great! thanks!

[@BookofIsaiah]

Awesome tutorial!! Thank you for posting this!!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks - glad you liked it!

[@garethgordon9141]

Really comprehensive at Justin's breakneck speed; the section planes just lost me but will revisit in due course. Learned a lot but soooo much more to go 😪. Thanks JG

[@markvallarino2847]

Very handy guide to getting the details of the roof framing, thanks

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad you liked it!

I learn something new every time I watch one of your informative videos. Keep them coming.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks Charles! I appreciate it!

Fantastic video!!!! Justin number one!

[@wotyacollit]

Nice video. Just enough detail to show your audience how to achieve this very useful cut away scenes. Thanks.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks Dermot!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks Chris!

[@donaldburton6869]

Nice video!!! I'm learning new stuff on every video. You make it look so easy.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Really glad you're liking them!

[@VideoNOLA]

8:30 & 11:00 Instead of meticulously tracing new geometry along the edges of the plywood or underlayment, wouldn't it be easier simply to get the Push/Pull Tool and press CTRL while dragging it up? This creates a new surface and automatically establishes a new boundary between them. Think this might be the ONLY way to do what you're doing with a more complex shape (e.g. curved edges, etc.).

[@chrisb3927]

Well done Justin. Thank you!!!

Super useful! Thanks a lot!!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks - glad you liked it!

[@stephenjacobs9253]

Hi Justin,
This has answered my question in the tutorial about textures “ ghosting” through faces and how to remedy this by adding some small thickness . Thanks Steve Jacobs.

[@astrobat81z45]

Cool video,nice tut.Just a little note You can have multiple cut section with Zorro 2 extention I've discovered this recently and it's free.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Interesting - will have to mess with this - thanks!

[@amosmwangi3904]

sublime!

[@kungfu7706]

Another great video!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks :)

[@markvallarino2847]

Very nice. I would like to see a detailed video just on section planes for showing internal building details

[@VideoNOLA]

Went to the comment section to see how many viewers reminded you that 2x8 dimensional lumber is actually 1.5" x 7.5" ... and must say I was rather alarmed to find none so far. Yikers. I know you know though. This also tells me you have a very polite bunch of subscribers. Well-done!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Well I generally am very clear that I'm teaching you how to model using the program, not build the assembly in real life - I'm hopeful that most of my subscribers understand that...

[@mearkitek3773]

Uh...try 1.5x7.25 inches

[@badarian]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, are you familiar with architect Nick Sonders? He creates details like the one that you demonstrated this video and now I know how to do lt.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I am - his book SketchUp to Layout for Architecture is great, and I've watched a bunch of videos with him on RUclips as well. His plans are almost like art instead of construction plans!

[@pmfinverr335]

Fantastic really

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks!

[@davidniquot6423]

8:15 : Better, faster : click the face, copy, paste in place
To rename : click the name of the object/component in the Outliner instead of right click/rename.

[@justincastillo3029]

Hey justin,
If I have a house already built in sketchup, is there a way to create separate model with the foundation, wall framing and roof framing using the existing model?

[@nathan1459]

Hi, is there a way to turn off axes when isolating components in Outliner? I want to pick out components in my drawing but don't want to see the axes that pop up with the selection. Thank you.

[@hendrewassermann5846]

Brilliant

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks!

[@willembuiting]

Hy Justin! Nice video. Wouldn't it be a good idea to change the axes of these groups and components so you can model and texture more easy? Just a thought.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

You could definitely do that. I'd say for a simple detail, I probably wouldn't unless modeling was just taking way too much time, but for something more complicated, it would probably be a time saver. Good suggestion!

[@1970Dusko]

Hello, can you do that in free version?

[@lincolnfranca4249]

Niiiice!!!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks!

[@airigid]

good video

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks!

[@jirkablom891]

Thanks, but how can I manage the amount of components?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't understand the question - you'd model as many components as necessary to make the detail, and no more?

[@ecostudio1044]

"just-in" :)
time

[@DarkMoonDroid]

I had a naybor who's name was Justin. And he listed off several puns that he has known. My fave was Justin Case.

[@refusoagaino6824]

It's called a 'bird's mouth, or bird's beak'.

[@refusoagaino6824]

Instead of using section planes, why can't you just push/pull the different edges of plywood, underlayment, shingles to where you see the view you want?
