When designing, people often leave the stairs to the end, after allocating an "area" at the beginning, which then gets infringed upon multiple times until it's time to try to shoe-horn a legitimate staircase into a space that wasn't laid out for one, with lighting, switches (electrical) , natural lighting (daytime) and things like door swings, security, ventilation and handicap access all being addressed under limited circumstances. Build the stairs first. Get it right and shoe-horn all the other stuff around the stairs. It took me ten years to figure that out.
Yes sir, as a designer, I can't agree more. It can derail your whole design when the city comes back refusing to approve a staircase (too steep, for instance) at that late stage and cause massive revisions and unhappy clients. Knowing this upfront and knowing the IRC or IBC max/min you must design to will save your neck. I prefer to have a simple block 3D dummy model for spatial tests, and a standard footprint in 2D to pop in while laying out plans so I know early on that it should work. In the 80/20 rule, this is a 20 that speeds up the 80 later.
@@Thesketchupessentials Hi mate, I really I appreciate your valuable SkethUp videos, can you please send me how to draw a radius in dogbone specimen, so I can 3D print it do some experiments on it , I have a radius of R76 and I drew it as 0.76 is it OK or is there any method that I can follow. Thanks Adel
TYSM!! Im really happy to know that the controls arent just working on the app but also in the chrome. And while doing this stuff ive learn more stuff such as putting a measurement, lining up with measurements, compontent, ect.
Someone might have mentioned this already, I can turn one of the component tread 180 degrees before you copy/move for next fright so the handrail should follow same direction, right? Thanks for the video though. I've got a lot to learn from ya!
Are you effing kidding me?!?! There's a divide tool??? I've been doing the math for the past 4 years I'm screaming. Also the copy move?? didn't know that either. damn gonna binge all these videos to see what else i havent learned
He Justin! Nice to do a video on stairs! As you know I do a lot of stairs. I used some extensions and even bought the s4u stair extension (which is not easy to use). In the end I draw my own stairs using all kind of methods as shown in your video. I really love staircases end big old halls. Looking forward to your video on spiral staircase. Thanks again!
Lol - I was starting to film the spiral staircase video and realized I was over 26 minutes long, so I figured just making a separate video was the best choice :p - Thanks for watching!
hello justin i know you want maybe read this message..got any video on how to build lifts (excalaters) for buildings and homes that need lifts for people with disabilities. as there doesnt seem to be any tuts around cheers.
@thesketchupmaster.... Is there's a Free plugins that i can use to have this Cylindrical and curved features of sketchup sir?...well the reason is don't have the money to afford any plugins but i have subscribed to this channel i just hope that i can download one....i am from the Philippines . Btw Watching your tutorials makes everything interesting in sketchup Thank you sir.
Hey man love the videos !!!! Looking in to buying this program . Question when you built handrail to what ever you want . Will it give you true length measurements and angles or the hole drawing ? So I could make a cut list and fab up ? Thanks Brody
hi! my problem is not related to this video but maybe you check the comments. I have sketchup 2021 and i can't type numbers / measures. Do you know why this can be? Thanks :)
He assumes that everybody knows the commands and the amount of text around covers the parts of the screen. I could not pass the moment how to copy the components using the ctrl and move tool. It was moving my blocks everywhere but not above the next step. Where do I type how many times to multiply sth? Frustrating. His tutorials are not for beginners.
HI, Im new to your channel and i have being looking for a tutorial to learn how to use sketchup pro. I have started a joinery company and will be needing a channel to follow, so i can learn to use sketchup. You seem to do the most videos, but i find you are going that fast, its hard to understand and to follow. But you are note just the only one. I am a good learner and i do normal take things in, but clicking this and that , that fast is that learning somebody ? I know its free and you are trying to help, but i would like to sign up to your paid site but if its like the one i have just seen then i am a bit put off by it. Thanks anyway.
Problem in your videos is actually that in working area and over cursor function subtitle displays over it that irritate us .... Please avoid this ....
Hello!, I have a problem in the 2nd method, after I copied the steps. mine doesn't divided. so I can't use the push tool to make in 3d... Do you have any idea ?
Hi sir, I really find your videos interesting as you explain in detail. I would like it if you could teach a method to model an Elevator in sketchup Thank you!!
How could I make an even round shape in the intersection joint of my handrail somewhere in the landing area? they are not the same diameter? I used the "make components" but when i continue using the "follow me" tool up to the joint it is not the same diameter why? pls help me Justin.
Justin, couple of items needing addressing on how to build stairs efficiently is the legal parameters the code will inevitably force real world builds to conform to, so anyone seriously designing a staircase to build when required to meet code needs to work from code up. IRC 2015 allows max steepness of 7.75" risers and 10" treads with 1" nosing so because rise/run is so crucial to stair design and the surrounding structure they serve, I always begin with a profile method at 7.75x10 to set riser height to real ceiling. Real floor height is another key issue: most newbies or non builders won't count on real world ceiling/floor system thicknesses. You can't span an open floorplan situation with 2x6 thick joists. Most floor truss folks want no less than 16" and add to this 2 layers of ply wood for "framing" thickness. And most trades and builders go floor trusses for the MEP items to run easily in the webs. So we plan these in new builds. So, as you know, from slab to 2nd flr framed thickness is the real rise you go off. So for my profile method, my run is set off the 10" treads required to stay under the max riser ht. A simple stretch and check of my profile stair builder like you made is done to check I'm not too tall at the riser ht, then I go component treads from there, perhaps component risers. Then whatever finish floor you like, your components all update to this. Railings are also code regulated: 4" spheres can never be allowed to pass the ballusters or rails, so this can really tweak your design if you're not aware of it. Assembly Builder rocks this aspect. Use profile method to set rise/run real world, then run stair case builder in Assembly builder and tweak components to suit your style requirements, railing etc. I look forward to trying the 1001 bit tools option as it looks like it can cut down my "sizing" test time via parametric builds. Nice. You address a huge hurdle to fast 3D interior design in Sketchup, THANKS!
I'm having a hard time selecting both the unit rise and unit run at the same time , could you elaborate a bit more for beginners like myself? Obrigado*
You coulda honestly left option 6 out of the video, good lord. Why would anyone use that way. I could free hand draw that stair twice in the time it took you to draw it once with that extension. Way to complicated for what the end result is.
What that option would allow you to do is to bend a more complex stair shape along a wall. It's also good for spiral stairs. It's not for every application, but sometimes it makes sense
@@Thesketchupessentials I don't really see it being good for spiral stairs if it messed up both corners you had at 90 degree angles. If it can't handle a simple and basic 90 degree angle, why would anyone think it could handle a spiral circle thats much more complicated?
plus when I downloaded "Pipe Along Path" it says "the selected path either branches or is not continuous, cannot make pipe extrusion, re-select a single continous path"
I've learned some of the very basics on my own , therefore , the staircase I've build pulling from the wall , I had to chalk line basically every unit rise and unit run and then protruding from the wall with the push/ pull button , but I've never copy and pasted , literally, every single made from scratch
6:29 I don't have an option of converting into cylinders. Does it require an extension? Would be helpful if i get a video or some sort of tutorial to get extensions as I haven't added any yet
i use the component method for stairs :) saves me a lot of time if i have several stairs of the same style. the problem I face with making stairs is that we use meters, the max step height in my country is .18m (not .2m) and it always creates a problem with the topmost step not aligning with the floor level above. so whenever i create stairs, i create a flat plane first as a step and make this a component. copy it at .18 interval until the last step is above the floor. i group the entire stair and scale it downwards to make the last step exactly at the same level as the floor above. i do the same for all stairs in the floor which will use the same style. after which, that's the only time i create the profile of the step (the thickness of the step etc). the problem if i do the profile first before the scale is it's really impossible to make the perfect scale it once the profile is already created. that's the easiest way i got so far. the .18m max step height in my country really gives me headache because for a 3 meter floor to floor height, i would need at least 17 steps, but dividing 3 meters into 17 steps will give me .1764705882352941 and so on meter interval. that's is O.C. level issue for me. so the scale portion before profiling the steps is my lifesaver. using 18 and 19 steps will also yield a long decimal. 20 steps will give my .15 meter height but at this point, it's already an issue of economy because i used too much steps for the stairs hahaha.
Whoa.! You made so clear to create different stairs. To be honest I left my passion towards modelling in the year of 2011. Moreover, I would like to start up again on the same path which can give a better growth towards my career and financial benefits. Thanks for your tutorials. I'll be grateful to watch and improve my skills as I didn't get any better skilled programmer on the same.
A lot of that probably depends on your model and how you've set up your files, but I wouldn't expect it to be magically a million times faster. I think there might have been some performance upgrades, but I'm not really sure how to quantify them
Literally, you're the KING of SketchUp!!!
Lol - glad you liked it :)

whoa ~! I just realized there are so many flexible uses of basic tools to create stairs and appreciate your valuable sharing ~!
Love the tutorials. Id like to see something like a roof construction. I made a wooden hexagon cabin and cant really build the roof well
Very professional and easy to learn. Thanks for sharing. Love your videos :)
Why u wear a cap Even inside a room 😂

Does it make sense to go through the Flowery process - it looks complicated. Can't you just bend with copying, rotate and move?
Hi Justin! I can’t find the “convert arcs, lines etc to cylinder” is it available in sketch up pro 2022?
hello justin i know you want maybe read this message..got any video on how to build lifts (excalaters) for buildings and homes that need lifts for people with disabilities. as there doesnt seem to be any tuts around cheers.
Is there way I can find “ convert arcs to cylinders” on Ipad??? Or I draw it manually ?😮 thanks
When the lines are deleted on the side of the step it turns hollow with no face, can someone help with this.. thanks
I really love your videos, very informative. 🤩Thanks alot
Very easily. Many Many thanks to you. 28'/26' floor plan to send me. please
why mine doesn't work on copying many object just using type? 🙁
Tip: 01:55 Enable Endpoints in your Styles tab to better see the divide lines.
Nice one - thanks!
Another fantastic video
hey, thanks for this Video, can I ask where does it came from the setting in convert line into pipe?
how do you do the move and copy of the 3rd stair? I cannot perform it myself.
Excuse me
Why do you make some tips in sometimes so fast and even I could not see the tools you used .. please do it in a quite slower

Sorry about that - I'm thinking maybe a language gap issue as well?

I don't understand the question - there is no PRO non-commercial version
hi, Can u guide , how to get extension tab in s sketchup as shown in ur screen between windows and help.
I've learned some of the very basics on my own , therefore , the staircase I've build pulling from the wall , I had to chalk line basically every unit rise and unit run and then protruding from the wall with the push/ pull button , but I've never copy and pasted , literally, every single made from scratch

Do you use a space mouse? It makes working In sketchup so much better for me.

Hello, kindly help me to sketch up my house design
if i may ask why is reversing faces essential in the design? does it make for better geometry or just a personal preference?
Here you go - ua-cam.com/video/Y3kJlaXiNcA/v-deo.html

Hi, Justin, is layout 2020 still laggy and slow? Comparing to 2019. Thanks
A lot of that probably depends on your model and how you've set up your files, but I wouldn't expect it to be magically a million times faster. I think there might have been some performance upgrades, but I'm not really sure how to quantify them

i like you too much guy.you are excellence teacher.
Good 👍
Thankyou this really helped!👍
The last method based on extension looks clumsy in case of a rectangular staircase. For spiral staircase it may be more suitable
There's a ton of different extensions for stairs that can save a ton of time. Not clumsy at all
