I do my floors pretty much how you have - I tend to do the holes in them after I've done the p-p, but that's just because I tend to think "Oh, hang on, there needs to be a hole there", rather than have it in my head. Good to see how you do the walls, though, I haven't been doing it that way, I think I'll adopt your method, because it's a bit more how it would be built, I think. Construction lessons by SketchUp!! 😆 All good, learning is fun!! Thank you.
Yes so many ways. All comes down to efficiency. At the end of the day, how many clicks can you avoid. But then who’s actually counting. My way, just copy the first floor up to second, add and or remove interior walls? Adjust floor platform thickness/ add cantilevers as required. Efficiency! Oh yeah, I may even wait till the windows are in, many get stacked so resizing is all that’s left. At least you have um on the next floor ready for adjustments. I know , the vid is not about that.
how should I apply flooring tile textures? Is it better to do a new surface over the floor slab? or open the slab group and apply the texture to the slab top.
Hi Aaron, thanks for you wonderful videos which I'm grateful to have to refer to. Just a question: when I use my line tool to follow around the edges, it doesn't draw a contours line and in fact doesn't draw anything if I then hide the wall to see if I have an outline. Any idea what I may be omitting?
How to turn the model without the mouse? I need this... it is so complicated for every rotation/movement to click on the button and then back to the function I want to use
If youhave a three button mouse you can use the scroll wheel to orbit and zoom... otherwise you are looking at a hardware purchase of a spacemouse to move in 3D space...
This wasnt very helpful, so in the wall video you show how to do walls if you already have a floor based on that floor, great makes sense. But in the floor video you do it based on if you already have walls??? What if i have nothing and want to start with a floor or walls??

That's positive thinking Pauline!!!!!
Cheers Aaron, so many ways to achieve the same thing is what makes Sketchup so great.
Who knew John Michael Higgins had a long lost brother who happens to be a Sketchup master!? Appreciate the vids man keep up the good work. Cheers!
I never ever push-pull walls from 1st floor to the 2nd one as I need to see the volume of the walls on each floor separately to calculate estimate.

This is exactly what I needed. Bless you!!
Did you just click the corners to get the outline? Or did you click a key also?
OK. As a 2nd day user. That was way cool! Thanks.

One could guess that you have not grouped the geometry that you are tracing...
To create individual floor plans for each story guess I would have to save each floor in Layout, right?

@SketchUp thank you very much! I test it out
Wow,, so many ways using sketchup, nice tips👍 thanks for sharing Aaron
You would then add a siding layer outside the walls for the exterior brick/whatever material?
I could see Aaron gritting his teeth while he was saying “Don’t send me comments on how I did it wrong! Let’s be collaborative here”. 😆😆😆
Terima Kasih Triknya pak
This is so helpful. Awesome presentation.
Thanks for the this!
Love your videos!
How do you rotate your model in this video without using Orbit tool? Just black arrow on the screen, but rotation is so easy, fast and natural.
Aaron uses a 3D mouse (The Spacemouse Enterprise from 3DConnexion, to be exact) in many of his videos.
@@SketchUp, thanks.
@@SketchUp You might need to do an extra frame at the beginning of the video (or end, in the credits) where you say this. 😁
Thanks very helpful
And what about ceilings?
