Sketchup for Woodworkers - Curves, Moulding and the Outliner
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- In this tutorial I introduce the Outliner panel for keeping track of all these groups floating around. We also rebuild the bookshelf using Components. I use the Line, Arc and FollowMe tools for the first time to create moulding on our bookshelf.
You are a great teacher. Very clear
Your tutorials are awesome, I believe you have found your calling. Your pace is well done, very educational and I am learning a lot. Thank you very much!
Rob, I am new to Sketchup and your well narrated videos have given me everything i need to start designing, and designing efficiently. Thanks....
This is the best tutorial I have seen for Sketchup. I am finaly getting to understand the concepts. Thanks Rob
Thanks so much for sharing this. I tried Sketchup briefly several times over a few years and gave up each time. My latest attempt i had all the pieces to a tv stand looking pretty good but i couldn't figure out how to get pieces to line up in the same plane when they needed to, like getting all the drawers faces inset perfectly 1/4" from the leg fronts, they'd be close but off by just a little bit. I now have the confidence to complete that and some others things i was wondering how to accomplish. You are a good teacher. I am going to finish watching all the vids in your sketchup series.
Your tutorials are very helpful, Rob. They cover important concepts at the proper pace. Thanks.
Used this tutorial series to help me learn Sketchup and design/build a dresser about two years ago and it was incredibly helpful. Now I'm building some chests for a commission project and had to take a refresher. Found a lot of the "tips" incredibly useful. I recommended this series to a friend and have no doubt they will find it just as helpful. Thank you.
You are really good in teaching this software and have a great natural skill in explaining. Thank you
Man, this was just what I needed to learn more about groups and components.....many thanks !!
Many thanks Rob. I have been trying to get my Head around other tutorials, with no luck. Seeing yours specifically for Woodworker, it all now makes sense and is sinking in!
You make it seem so easy. But I have watched quite a few now, and getting better at Sketchup. Thanks.
Thanks Rob, your videos gave me the basics so that I could make my own folding bookcase plans. The hinges are not perfect, but I could "fold up" the case using Sketchup to make sure everything worked.
Once again, thanks for the videos.
If you're looking for the outliner in more recent versions of Sketchup (I'm on Sketchup Make 17) it can be added to your tray Window -> Default Tray -> Outliner.
Absolute beast. Thanks
Hello, you are simply the best !!! Thanks and God bless you and your family. I learned so much from you
Thanks for these awesome tutorials, specifically for woodworkers. Very much appreciated!
I have been a Solidworks user for quite some time so using Sketchup was a no-no to me but due to budgetary reasons I had to drop SW and try moving to a cheaper modeling software, here's where I found several options, with this being said, I decided to give Sketchup a chance after watching your videos, very interesting instructional and very detailed explanations. It has been a very difficult transitions since I was very accustomed to SW and the way it works but with your videos I have been able to understand the whole process a lot better. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world.
Thanks a lot, Rob. Your tutorials are very easy to follow - even for a Brazilian :-)
Great Series, your flow makes everything easy to learn.
Thanks! Another great tutorial. I hope you consider producing more.
Thanks!! Something so frustrating solved so easily. Very descriptive thanks a lot.
Thank you, for these videos. I downloaded the sketchup program earlier in the day and was about to delete the program, because I could not get it to work for me. Now I am excited to use the software to document all my woodworking projects as well as a modeling tool for new projects.
Nice job Rob! Very doable now!
Thank you very much for this great tutorial
Thanks Rob. Very helpful!!!
Great tutorial. Thanks. One thing I learned with the FollowMe tool... the path can't be part of a group. I had to Explode my group to get my molding to 'follow' the path.
another great job sir
Thanks for the tutorials. This one kicked my butt. My groups were all messed up and my follow me's turned into swiss cheese. Couldn't get the measurement reference tool to function quite right. I think my book shelf has reached the end of it's complexity haha.
I hope you are in teaching buisines. It would be a shame to waste such a talent. I cant remenber last time i could look at this kind of tutorial for one hour strait. Its a record in long time for me :)
Excellent video. Thanks.
Subscribed.
Fantastic
Thank you
much appreciated, thank you
Thank you!
Hey Rob. I'm really enjoying your tutorials. They're to the point, but not so fast you can't grasp it. Thanks a lot for all you've done.
I'm having a big problem with the follow me tool in the video on curves, molding, and outliner. .After I understood that you have to manually draw the line where the cove molding joins the case, I was able to extrude the cove molding with all sides and ends included. But when I extrude the block molding, it has no bottom or ends, and as it extrudes, it takes the top surface off the cove molding.
I've been redrawing the bookcase from scratch each time to practice, and sometimes the extrusion works right, sometimes not. Do you have any ideas about what's going on? Thanks.
Awesome videos Rob, good work! One question: how do I get the guidelines to go into infinity? In my 2017 edition, I have to first go from left to right and type in the length of the guideline, THEN I go from right to left and it will give me an infinite guideline, kind of awkward...
Hello, could you make keystones, I mean for windows, doors and walls. Thank you.
Is there a free version of this and when you get done with a drawing is there some button you can push to give you all the measurements?
yes there is a free version and yes you can use the dimension tool to place the measurements on the drawing or use the tape measure as you would normally! :)
Hi where I can get the software for mac ? thx
I like your tutorials very much. I have somehow deleted the tools from the screen. How do I get them back.
If you're on a Mac then you can right-click in a blank spot in the top menu and pick "Customize Toolbar..." and then you can drag and drop any of the tools back into menubar.
I can't help if you're on Windows but maybe someone else can comment with help?
Thank you Rob. I am on Windows
Do they offer a free Version of sketch up I can't afford $695
Yes, you download the full version and it coverts to the free version after a month.
Aubrey Green Are you using the free version?
Yes, it converted after 30 days.
Go to www.sketchup.com/download . Choose the Personal Projects as what you are going to use it for. Fill in the rest of the form and download.
At 14:33-36 you mumble something about "????-1-2-3" that was unintelligible. Can you please tell me what you said??
Sorry about that! I said "Triple click-1,2,3". You have click three times quickly to get it to select everything.
Appreciate Video clip! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Antonello Astonishing Woodwork Takeover (probably on Google)? Ive heard some super things about it and my work buddy after a lifetime of fighting created the best piece of art with it.
Even though his tutorials are good, it seems to me like a lot of the time Rob forgets that he is actually instructing and seems to be talking to himself. Makes it hard for me to understand him.
Too bad. I'm just learning Sketchup, about 2 weeks now. I'm old, don't hear real well, and I don't like change. Why do you have to talk so fast. Your mouse seems to fly about, cant keep with your mouse, mutterings, and the results all at once.
Hi Willie, sorry about that, I'm a fast talker. But, if you go to the lower right of the video player on RUclips and click the little gear, there's an option to change the speed for the video. Try 0.75 or 0.5 and see if that helps?
That made a Big difference. Thanks for the tip.
Kudos for the Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Antonello Astonishing Woodwork Takeover (probably on Google)? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my close friend Aubrey finally put together the most exceptional piece of art with it.
