I highly recommend people watch this video before downloading any extensions and learn to frame walls from scratch (like we used to do). I'm not saying don't use extensions, I'm just saying you really need to know the fundamentals of SketchUp first (ie. Grouping your geometry etc...). Once you have gone through this process and actually worked through a few simple designs like the one shown above and then also made modifications to it you will quickly gain a new found respect for what the plugins/extensions do for you. Thank-you Aaron for once again breaking it down to the lowest common denominator, this is good stuff.
Thank you that was a great session. The vibe is something to get use to, but when it was all said and done, I really appreciated the quality of the content and the chill atmosphere that you create with joyous intention. Peace & Unwarped lumber🌈
Nice techniques on uses of components and groups. I do appreciate the humor you guys are trying to impart as well as the skills you are teaching. Having said that, this video and the information could have been done in half the time or less. We all learn at different speeds. The pause button can be used by those that need more time. Keep it up guys. Thank you
Thanks, Mark! These live streams are not necessarily meant to be "follow along" type videos, but a chance for us to hang out with the SketchUp community, live, and model something. The pace has more to do with conversation and comments that come in, rather than pausing for people to catch up... we generally shoot for 1 1/2 - 2 hours of video for one of these live sessions.
Timber Framing/Post & Beam/Mortise & Tenon would be really interesting to see. I bet you’d have a lot of fun with it, especially depending on how intricate you want to go with the joinery…
Great base camp Aaron. I am a frame and trim carpenter, but to try and keep up with the more advanced/green style of building, I am trying to break into the prefabricated SIPS (structural insulated panels), and their assembly. If you are familiar with this system, I believe this is the future of building.
Hi Aaron Been watching for some time now and every time I watch the show I learn something new. Great job on the presentation and the variety of subjects. Keep up the great work Cheers,
Good stuff as always! I was wondering though whether you might have been better off leaving the top plate off until the rest of the framing was done. It seemed like there was an awful lot of making unique and adjusting for what is a few very simple bits of geometry.
If you use the 3d space mouse wireless that has two buttons and an mmo mouse which has 12 (look that up if you're not sure what I mean by mmo mouse) you can have access to roughly 100 shortcuts without touching your keyboard. 100 shortcuts is far more then you'd need and as a result of this, this method is much more efficient then using the spacemouse pro like you have Aaron, because with the pro you need to overstretch your fingers to find a button, also much harder to find without looking. This is a much faster and more fluid way to model and saves money. Also, a lot of push pulling, much faster in some views to click in and select just the face of the edge of a stud and drag it into position hotkeying the arrow keys to keep it on axis instead of push pulling everything and having to orbit around to see the face and push pull it with your camera.
Hi. I've watched several of your Videos, which are all great. But, this one is so long winded. It's at 13.22 mins before you even start adding a piece of beam!! and why there's a need to have other people also talking over you, sells yourself short. I'm afraid I quit after a while as it was soooo slow.
At 38 minutes, why not copy the two wall frames to themselves, then draw a line from one corner to the diagonal other corner. Pick the centre point and rotate 180 degrees. Now go ahead and work on the wall openings.
This is more confusing than helpful. You don't explain how you hid everything but the Wall 01 group. It's also confusing that you use a Mac rather than a PC. You could do a much better job of explaining the tools that you are using and the steps that you are taking to perform these tasks.
Thanks for the feedback! Our live models tend to be more workflow and/or exploration heavy and geared toward intermediate leve SketchUp users, If you are looking for more structured, easy-to-follow videos, check out our Level Up SketchUp playlist, or visit SketchUp Campus at learn.sketchup.com!
Well... it IS a two hour live stream... they tend to go on a bit... like... two hours. If brevity is your thing, check out the rest of our videos. most of them wrap up at around the ten minute mark.
For a 1 hr and 36 minute video, there is a lot of non sense. I get the whole live thing, but stay on topic. Dont need the background sounds, interruptions, all the other non sense stuff that isnt needed. Literally, the whole video wouldve been done in 10 minutes and many other things couldve been talked about.

I don't want to be rude and rain on your parade but, I don't watch you anymore since you partnered up with a co-host ,I find it very annoying to watch ,no offense to your co-host he seems to be a genuine kind a guy but sorry can't watch .I don't know if you lost or gain a lot of subscribers because of this change ,but my advice to you before you go to far with this ,is you should make a pole and ask your audience to see if they want you with a co-host or going back before ,just teaching us how too.And you decide what the subscribers really want .Cheers
Really could do without all the lame attempts at humor and just get to the content. Seven minutes of your BS that I'll never get back. Do you really believe people tuned in from around the globe for this?
Actually we do, sometimes a little humor breaks up the monotony while doing the more run of the mill tasks. I quite enjoy the presentation style employed.

Great tutorial. So many Sketchup videos about framing, but so few Sketchup nerds who KNOW framing.
I suppose there is some truth to that but you can’t expect everyone to know everything.
New user, just downloaded my full version and can’t wait to put it to great use…

Keep up the great work
Cheers,
Good stuff as always!

It seemed like there was an awful lot of making unique and adjusting for what is a few very simple bits of geometry.
Framing lumber is not its stated dimensions because after it is dried it is milled to make it more consistent which reduces its size.
Good job guy's, thank you very much, could you feature something about foundations or floor joists next, please?
What a cool way to navigate around in Sketchup!
Maybe you could create a hot key on your mouse for the "make unique" command for your components.
Well done, great framing tutorial as well

That was fantastic, thank you guys! :)
I have begun to learn Sketchup to create a model of the farmhouse that I am going to rebuild. How do I create a cut list from model?
Any chance you could model another framing, but in the iPad?
Thanks. 🤙🏽
Hey Aaron, thank you very much for all you do in teaching and sharing! If I may ask, are you using an mi chip, m1 max or m1 ultra?
My laptop is a few years old. I believe I have an Intel i7.
@@aarondietzen2995 Thank You, Happy Thanks Giving!
Not correcting you just commenting that your 'shorty' studs above/below the window opening are known in these parts as top and bottom cripple studs.
What are those accessories on your left hand called?
Thank You good vídeo and funny.
But what it's the instrument at your left hand???
3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Enterprise
40:30 these are usually referred to as "cripple studs" or "cripples".
You are paying for the kerf and the planed off sawdust of the member. Planed lumber is great.
Awesome video
QUESTION: *out of the topic.*
is that any option to light up the bulb or lighting in Sketchup without using any extension? Thanks in advance.
Alas, SketchUp is a modeling software and does not do rendering or lighting…
so, what is "control" key on a real computer?
Hi. I've watched several of your Videos, which are all great. But, this one is so long winded. It's at 13.22 mins before you even start adding a piece of beam!! and why there's a need to have other people also talking over you, sells yourself short. I'm afraid I quit after a while as it was soooo slow.
thought this was about dynamic components for studs.🙁
Dang it I missed the stream.
thanks guys, gj

Hi from uk
Over the top plate
Really work
LOVELY👍
Please just get with it.
Good job guys I mean people…… everyone is woke

Lost me at Grouping. Everything a Group can do Components do as well and Comps have added benefits. Thumbs down.
For a 1 hr and 36 minute video, there is a lot of non sense. I get the whole live thing, but stay on topic.

Feels like a collab with a bad morning show.

Why do you guys have such horrible introductions to your videos? Such a great app and you guys act immature.

brother Aaron don't get it wrong, but you have to wear your underpants over your pants. because you are the real superman.🦾🦾
