I just started exploring this SketchUp thing... without any background of 3d designing and other drawing tools. your tutorial really helps... appreciate your time for doing this! Thanks!
Another good one. Your videos consistently find the right balance of detail and efficiency. Never excessive nor incomplete. And you devote the right amount of time to each one. Great for a "working" coffee break or (as now) on a Saturday morning when the part of my household that doesn't get up before 10:00am is still asleep. Been using SketchUp for a few months, and still didn't know about saving views. Worth a few minutes to get that tip!
THANK YOU! I've been trying to move a roof, and it just ended up sticking to the wall and all, now I know why! I need to group the geometry, THANK YOU!!!!
I come back to Sketchup every now and then. Every time the same mistakes is made. Sticky geometry, forget to group and/or make component. Misaligning objects. Usually I get quite far with my model and then I start over doing it right the second time. I do love Sketchup because it is easy to use but you get punished hard for doing stupid mistakes. Love you videos. This one was right on the money.
I am seriously tempted to invest in the actual course. After 3 weeks of experimentation, I still didn't know (or had forgotten) quite a bit of these tips. Nicely presented.
Lots of videos mention groups for organizing stuff - great way to make an object that doesn't stick to surrounding geometry, can be moved around, copied etc without polluting model's "Components" storage. But this was actually the first time I saw outliner (although it wasn't even mentioned, if I'm not mistaken). I wish I knew about it earlier, because now I have a model with couple of hundreads of "flat groups", and many of them are called just "Group" :) Didn't know about left/right selection difference, too. Thanks!
I'm a carpenter for Cabeen Originals. We make do all things Custom for commercial buildings, mainly wood products. Been watching for awhile, and really love it. I've just registered to support your patreon, thanks a bunch, keep it up.
Number 4 seems like the one I probably still do although I don't consider it a waste because there's always that thing especially in architectural representation where clients will ask for a virtual model or VR views or additional renders then the objects you put in your model become necessary. Good video!
Eyy Justin, you kind of saved my life during 2020, not to be overly dramatic, but seriously, man: THANKS ! I appreciate your "simplified" explanation of this SoftWare is quite inspiring. THANKS for that!
Awesome video. I am new to sketchup and it's been very frustrating at first learning the program but then it clicked and I finally understood how it worked. But so much yet to learn. I am not a custom cabinet builder but use custom build companys to make my cabinets.However is there a list of cabinet making company's I can download from there products and what they actually make into sketchup? I can design whatever I want in this program but it's pointless if my suppliers dont make my designed style.. Please help? ?Thanks
10/10 😅 I'm trying to use sketch for a project now but I'm a beginner. I can't seem to put an opening on an exterior wall for my doors and windows. I'm not sure if the problem is that the wall and the windows/doors are not in the same plane. I'm usually seeing a magenta-colored axis, not RGB
thanks for the info. I am currently using sketchup free (web) and I have several times miss used some key (brushed my mouse pad) and found myself off somewhere and having lost my origin... at that point I try shrinking the model (rolling the mouse button) and sometimes I have found my way back. Is there a Back to origin key?
When you import models from the warehouse or any where else, there is something I often forget, to remove the tags they come with so they do te mess with those in my model if you have it organized. (Tags are very useful, as groups and components naming are, to have your model well organized and easy to work with as it grows big)
I'm coming back to say that I have now gained enough skills to make cabinets better using the offset tool. Before I manually drew each line & did not hit an arrow to lock it and I did approximate measurements instead of typing in specific ones. Now I will make the largest size rectangle & use offset to reduce for outlines of where doors start. Put a line down the middle. Offset again for individual door frames, etc. I was able to complete in just a few minutes something that took me hours before- and I have much more accurate ones that I saved as a group.
Quick question please: How do you match a corner where 3 radius meet? I have a product with 3 corners where 3 external faces meet and they have the same radius on the corners.
I was going to "S-can" this whole app. Then I ran into your Video. Your explanations, directions, and tips are spot on for someone that thought to give it a look see. Thank you for taking the time to point out important Key Strokes and aspects that even Louis and Clark (Frodo Baggins, for you younger folks) would not have found.
Great tips! When I’m drawing a line of moving an object, I have been holding down the arrow keys for inference. So all I need to do is tap once? I’ve had problems with this all along... inference doesn’t stay locked.
Correct - I don't think there are really any tools in SketchUp where you hold down keys on your keyboard. Single clicks and single taps usually are the way to go...
Hi Justin, I have Sketchup Pro 2023 - in the Default Tray i have Overlays but not Layers - am i missing something? I really want Layers so that i turn on/off different aspects of drawings for Client presentations.
I learned how to use sketchup on my own, sure wished that I had seen these videos before designing 80 cabinets for our new home. Would of saved me days of work designing instead of being in the shop constructing cabinets. You do a great job explaining how to use program.
Hi there, I like your videos, they are a great source of knowledge for beginners and also for advanced users. So thanks for going to the trouble of making all of these videos. I also just want to throw in, that I do not like the scale tool for flipping objects, because it has shown over and over again that many users try to do a quick one and make scaling mistakes as a result. I do prefer, in order to make sure all stays accurate, to use the context command flip along red, green, or blue axis.
Thanks very much Olav - I think this one comes down to workflow preference - for me I have trouble picking the correct axis to flip along on the first try, so I use the scale tool. That said, if users have trouble scaling to the right value, they should probably use the flip along command instead. Thanks!
Justin, thank you for this tutorial. Out of the ten things you covered, I learned that I've been doing 2,3,5,9 & 10 wrong and driving myself NUTS!!! You have saved me hours of frustration. Thanks

Doing a garden design course and learning SketchUp from you. Have you done a video on how to create a basic garden and where to find the best plants from 3D warehouse? Loving your tutorials!
Thanks for the vid. I am a newbie with SketchUp and love learning a new system. I love good info tutorials and would ask for any recommended ones that are current. I have tried several older one but they truly are way out of date, and much newer one are concentrated on getting clicks and subscriptions. This one sides solid. Thanks for the pointers.
#2 - I just learned yesterday after using SU for 5 years! Where was I when the video came out! #5 only sounds like a good idea - trust me - the moment you make it you will want to fix only one corner. Every time I get smart - I find out I wasn't.
How can I easily drag an object to be flush on an an existing object? For example I have a framed wall I want to be able to copy and paste to the opposite side of my floor but I can’t seem to easily line it up even by zooming in. Otherwise this video was great. First time user and definitely fixed some of my problems I have been making.
If you're trying to move something precisely you probably don't want to drag - you want to activate the move tool by single clicking, then moving your object, then clicking again to set your final point. I think I may have covered some of the basics in this video - ua-cam.com/video/JrzKBXlR_V0/v-deo.html - Let me know if it helps!
Hi.. thanks for the video.. if only i had watch ur video 1st before starting.. now i am in problem with the axis and freehand sketch where its not lining up... I have another problem.. i done my 1st floor in 1layer and 2nd floor in another layer.. i join both the floor but as i view from above.. i can see 1st floor line visible on the 2nd floor floor.. i did use the move from the side to align with the 1st endpoint..do u know how to fix it.. thank you
@@Thesketchupessentials hiya. Thanks for reply.. the problem i have is.. after doing the 1st floor.. i brought over the 2nd floor with move and lining the corner. But as i view camera from above from 2nd floor... I can see my 1st floor outline on my 2nd floor.. does that mean my geometry is out?? I hope i can sent u the pic to ur email add to explain more from it...
Hi Justin Thank you for the amazing tutorial .I have a question, how did you flip the table in order to create it symmetrical! i mean I managed to flip it but in different sizes !! thank you
Again great video thanks. Question though- when selecting an object that you wish to move, How can you select the axis to move it on please? For example, often, I want to move along the blue axis 'up' but it refuses to do that as it seems 'locked' on another axis. Hope my question makes sense, cheers thanks.
Did you tap one of the arrow keys on your keyboard? Tapping arrow keys locks movement to an axis, so in this case, you could lock to the blue axis by tapping the "up" arrow key
I had a problem with the first one. I built an upper cabinet & when I tried to select it to make it all a group, I missed parts, included parts of the wall, etc. Any tips on how to make sure you get the whole thing without getting wall behind it? Sketchup freezes up/crashes whenever I use the Edit option in the menu (although I haven't tried right-clicking). I wish there was a keyboard shortcut to hide things. The arrow key to lock to axis points would have made my life so much easier when I was starting out. How do you make sure you're moving along a particular axis? Can you click an arrow on the keyboard to make it follow that axis?
Is there an option to be able to use a photo and use it on sketch up, I want to take a pic of the front of my house and play around with different textures, colours and cladding.
It is possible do disable click and drag on Push/Pull tool? I've disabled dragging on the settings but Push/Pull keeps working with click'n drag while I try to click'n click.
Actually, it seems that when i work quick the quick click seems to be recognized as a short drag, I think I have to click more precisely, even if other tools don't have any problem with the speed I click and move away. Too bad there's no option for Push/Pull. Anyway, thanks.
Nice work bro...just found out about sketch and want to design a container home for my wife and I.

I am new to sketchup and what i have downloaded is sketchup make 2015. Before watching youre videos i have a lot of question but now some of it were answered. Thanks for your great videos. As other were saying youre a great teacher. I am planning to buy cnc machine for a hobby because ive seen some of its capabilities and they were great. But i notice that i needed design software, and cam software. What catches my attention with this sketchup is how easy to use. And it has a cam capability with its sketchucam plugin. I have installed sketchucam and shape bender succesfully and able to open it, but why is it that i can not open my bezier tool. Please help thank you. GOD BLESS.
@@Thesketchupessentials Im trying to cut a simple rectangle section out of a wall. If I use the push/pull tool it only pushes or pulls that rectangle out, never removing it from the wall.. any help would be greatly appreciated!
@@paldendukpa8240 You have to push pull it to the thickness of the wall. If you push it past the wall it won't cut a hole, it'll just add extra geometry
Good video. Would you recommend grouping walls when designing a house? I am new to SketchUp and doing my first house, but I am unsure about how to organize my model so I can be efficient along the way. Do you have any advice? Thanks
i use your videos more than any other. my probem is that my default tray is covering the whole workspace. can you tell me how to restore it to the side of screen. Thank you
Thank you so much for clear explanations! Very useful, really. What about key's shortcuts? A such guide will be very useful! Anyway, you did great thing! Thanks a lot!
I don't think I've done a video about specific keyboard shortcuts quite yet. Usually I mention the shortcut in the videos about the different tools - thanks!
Hello Justin. I've gotten to a place where my project is too large and my computer is crashing. The 3D warehouse won't accept my model...too large!. My instructor, at school, said I should get a new computer with 16 GB of Ram. What would you do?
Are you using a lot of models from the 3D Warehouse? Make sure you're purging unused geometry. Also, if you have a lot of background geometry, maybe re-model that so it has less polygons? What kind of project is it?
Hi I am new to Sketchup and having a problem! I have made an aircraft Hanger and have 'Painted' it,but when I export the model its all white with no colour? Any help is much appreciated.

Not that I'm aware of. If you're single clicking, you shouldn't have an issue - are you sure you don't have a button stuck or something?
Actually, it seems that when i work quick the quick click seems to be recognized as a short drag, I think I have to click more precisely, even if other tools don't have any problem with the speed I click and move away. Too bad there's no option for Push/Pull. Anyway, thanks.

I am new to sketchup and what i have downloaded is sketchup make 2015. Before watching youre videos i have a lot of question but now some of it were answered. Thanks for your great videos. As other were saying youre a great teacher.
I am planning to buy cnc machine for a hobby because ive seen some of its capabilities and they were great. But i notice that i needed design software, and cam software.
What catches my attention with this sketchup is how easy to use. And it has a cam capability with its sketchucam plugin.
I have installed sketchucam and shape bender succesfully and able to open it, but why is it that i can not open my bezier tool. Please help thank you. GOD BLESS.
No idea on the Bezier tool - you might want to check the SketchUcation forums and see if anyone else has had that issue...
Using push pull i am not able to make a cutout for door & windows its moving only towards inside & outside after editing group also.Plz help
I don't understand what this means
@@Thesketchupessentials Im trying to cut a simple rectangle section out of a wall. If I use the push/pull tool it only pushes or pulls that rectangle out, never removing it from the wall.. any help would be greatly appreciated!
@@paldendukpa8240 You have to push pull it to the thickness of the wall. If you push it past the wall it won't cut a hole, it'll just add extra geometry
for number 10 I usually use the tape measure tool to make reference lines so I can place an object on a specific point. kinda tricky but works for me.
The tape measure tool is a great way to place reference points - thanks for the comment!
thank you it actually works you're a king
Good video. Would you recommend grouping walls when designing a house? I am new to SketchUp and doing my first house, but I am unsure about how to organize my model so I can be efficient along the way. Do you have any advice? Thanks
Yes to grouping. I'd start here - ua-cam.com/video/n4gERM9SIxY/v-deo.html

How can I place an object on my roof? I am trying to place solar panels on my roof in a house model.
very knowledgeable and well explained. thanks
Sir this is really helpful videos! Thank you🙏
Thank you so much for clear explanations! Very useful, really. What about key's shortcuts? A such guide will be very useful! Anyway, you did great thing! Thanks a lot!
I don't think I've done a video about specific keyboard shortcuts quite yet. Usually I mention the shortcut in the videos about the different tools - thanks!
I hope I don't step on TheSketchUpEssentials channel's toes with this, but the Jake Day Williams channel has a video about shortcuts.
Really helpful tips! I learnt it hard way to use the grouping tool so as to save time and effort!!! Thanks a lot!
JUSTIN you're really great man. I learnt alot for your videos.
Thank you Justin. This was helpful.
Thanks for watching!
This is very helpful for beginners like me.
great tips and a huge help. Thank you justin
Hello Justin. I've gotten to a place where my project is too large and my computer is crashing. The 3D warehouse won't accept my model...too large!. My instructor, at school, said I should get a new computer with 16 GB of Ram. What would you do?
Are you using a lot of models from the 3D Warehouse? Make sure you're purging unused geometry. Also, if you have a lot of background geometry, maybe re-model that so it has less polygons? What kind of project is it?
video super bien explicado muchas gracias bro...
Excuse me,How can I save my work(Design) in landscaping design program as a video.??
