Thanks for this. As a SketchUp trainer, I find that getting interior designers on board with SketchUp is a challenging task- Videos like this are very helpful.
Thank you, Tammy. This was super useful, especially as an interior designer. I've been training on SketchUp for only 4 weeks, however I'm so excited to get to 3D rendering level, haha. It's COVID-19 time with everyone staying home. so the down time is fabulous for learning new skills. Your top ten tips will be very useful for my business, thank you so much. Stay safe. Cheers, Penelope (Adelaide, Australia)
Very valuable tutorial.... color by axis was really neat as was your nicely paced and personable presentation and graphics. Many tips to take away for us architects too!
Tammy, Thank you for adding to the Top Tips. This is such a painless way to learn important things about how professionals work with SU. Tip 9, keeping aligned to the axis is one I need to remember. Also, I even learned something about RUclips today. Those three little dots at the bottom right next to the "SHARE and SAVE" choices allow one to click on "TRANSCRIPT." What a useful tool! Ha. One more thing everybody in the world probably already knew that I just found. Add smiley face here.
Loved these tips! I’m now beginning to use sketchup, your tutorials have been of great help now that I am trying to get my first home design. Loved the tips about layout, as I totally understand the export-import hassle, will try it too! Noticed it’s a great presentation tool for textures and materials. Thanks again!
Hi Anna! When I work through what to group and when, I think about the pieces of my model that I don’t want to “stick” together, the ease of editing in the future, and the way things are in an actual environment. For example... I don’t want the rug to stick the floor, and in reality it is a separate object than my flooring. So the rug geometry is grouped together, separate from the floor. A picture frame hung on the wall is a separate object than the wall, so the frame geometry is grouped together, separate from the wall You can break down every object into groups and components. A lamp can be one group containing nested groups within, including the base, shade, finial, etc. The more we break objects down into groups, the easier it will be to create and edit the objects. The earlier you start grouping geometry, the better. My walls and floor go in a group right away. Then pieces like a rug can be easily grouped while drawing because they aren’t touching any loose geometry. For me, the more groups/components the better. You can always explode geometry to combine groups, but it is more difficult to extract geometry to form separate groups (though not impossible).
Good information, even for someone like me who is not an interior designer. I learned the hard way to lock certain groups in my models. For me it was a case of unknowingly moving something just slightly to go unnoticed which skewed everything else that I added afterwards. However, "Monochrome View" is supposed to be just that, one single color (white usually). Anything not white is a reverse face and should be corrected to for proper SketchUp modeling.
I have my doubts wood beams would ultimately be designed to rest in saddles in the fireplace chimney stone. It appears the model is one of those that look nice in a 3D model, but would be very problematic in real life and sitting down with an engineer to actually do that.
Would be nice if somebody make a video abut Top tips for building for Second Life, considerating not only people that have full pro version (paid) but those who, like me, still use free versions and don't have access to many extensions
Another great video! I like the "I'm here to teach" without any fillers.

Super helpful for this intermediate level SketchUp user and interior design contractor!!
AWESOME! Thank you! Tammy knows her stuff.

Excellent tips!
I'm just now learning to properly use Layout. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thanks Cody for this helpful tips

Amazing! Thanks Tammy for sharing .
Great video, 10 really good tips
Nice tips! Especially liked 4 & 9. Do you have a strategy for when and what you group as your design progresses?

Awesome tips, thank you! :)
Thank you, very useful information
So helpful, Tammy! I'll watch this a few times.
Very pleased share with others.
Thanks Tammy
good tips generally, thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!!
Nice video and thanks but this is my Tip : do not make holes in the walls because you are making cold bridges...
Very good.
Is the mountain "Pointe de Nyon" in the frame next to the fireplace ?
"Half Dome" in Yosemite, Ca.
Thank you
Tip number 11 : Never forget to fix inverted faces.
Don't forget charge the MONEY!
Unless you DON'T WANT TO!
In which case, MAKE A CONSCIOUS DECISION!!
