- Sketchup is a free and easy-to-use 3D modeling platform that is awesome for engineering, interior designers, architects and any hobbyist interested in DIY!
While SketchUp comes with an included materials library of a good selection of basic colors and materials, knowing how to add your own is very useful! I this video we cover three different easy ways to import and add custom materials and colors using the SketchUp 3D warehouse, pulling materials from existing models, and grabbing files from paint and material manufacturer websites!

Awesome video. Very well done and easy to understand. Thank you. It's exactly the information I've been struggling to find
Thanks so much for watching, glad you found the channel :)
WOW! We can get real paint colors? That's amazing.
I know right! My wife worked for sherwin Williams for 5 years and we were remodeling our home and we found out paint manufacturers always make those available!
Bravo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you very much!!
3D is my specialty but not with Sketchup.
For hard-surface/CAD I recently found a very easy to use and powerful program called Plasticity. It's not free tho.
I guess Blender is one of the go-to options for free and not browser based 3d package🤔
I figured with all your 3D printing you must use one of the more robust ones right? Blender for sure is a go-to free one for a lot of the tech crowd, and I use solidworks (maker edition) for engineering stuff usually, but sketchup is super common among the home Renovations/DIY crowd which is why my wife and I use it so much for our projects around the house - I have not used plasticity but sounds like a good one!! Have you ever checked out onshape?? That’s a free web based one as well I believe!
@@lemastertech I've seen comparison videos. From what I gather it's closer to Fusion & more technical stuff.
For house renovations I think Sketchup still fits best.
Plasticity is more for designing stuff and not being as restrictive and cumbersome as Fusion 360 could get.
