I'm just starting to learn SketchUp. I was an old-school architectural draftsman from the eighties and, although I'm fluent with technology, I never had the opportunity to learn a CAD program. Your videos are easy to follow and informative, getting right to the point of what I need to know! Thank you!
I am making plans for the first time for a daycare we are opening and your videos are exactly what i needed to design a few sketch for my architect. Thanks for the great tips Alex!
I've been building homes for 15 years and want to start getting in to designing. This video has been extremely helpful 👏. It seems like Sketchup is a much more user friendly software system than AutoCAD or any other CAD software.
If I could give these guys multiple likes to help their video out more I would. Thank y'all so much for providing such wonderful products for free! Where there's a will there's a way 🧡
First, I am new to SketchUp. I think the SketchUp School videos are the best I've found on UA-cam so far. I want to start by repeating the example 'How To Create a Floor Plan with SketchUp Free (7 EASY Steps)' on my computer, but I miss finding 'field measurements' for the example.
Glad you like our channel! Please send a message to team@sketchupschool.com and we can help you with the trouble you're having with field measurements.
The way you explain and teaching is great 👍 I want to learn virtual staging (furniture placing) for my Realtor wife. I have Sketchup pro but can’t find good videos explaining proper steps. Would like your advice. Thanks 🙏
I'm using Sketchup 2017 to plan my basement home gym. I really just need the 2d floor layout , and then to add objects that represent gym equipment ( functional trainer, power rack, bench,) so that I can play around with different positions and orientations to see which configuration will work the best for my space. I only care about interior walls. Is Sketchup a good application for this use case?
Yes, you can print to scale using SketchUp Free. To do that, click on the menu icon in the upper left (three horizontal lines) and pick "Print". Then on the next screen, under Print Mode, drop down the menu and pick Print to Scale. From there, you can set up your scale and then choose Print to PDF.
The right click does not bring me to an option that says flip along, rather in the scroll down choices it shows intersect faces, soften/smooth edges and Zoom selection. As this is a tool I need I would love some help.
SketchUp Free has been updated so that now Flip is a tool that you can find in the left toolbar. Click on the three dots at the bottom of the left toolbar and you will find the Flip tool there. The steps to use it are: 1) Select the thing you want to flip 2) Pick the Flip tool 3) Then click on the green, red or blue plane to flip about that plane.
We only have that type of video using the Pro version: ua-cam.com/video/j2Zxep6wuKg/v-deo.html (perhaps you can still follow along and just translate where the user interface differs?)
It's still something that's possible with the Free version. If you continue to have trouble, send us a message at team@sketchupschool.com and and instructor will be happy to help.
Really love & appreciate all your videos. I have watched several as I am a beginner. I have the MAC Pro 2022 version. My tool bars seem to be different, also tagging & assigning tag to particular group is not the same as shown here. Do you have a video for the version I am using, or able to provide instruction for this version? Thank you in advance!
This video covers the process for SketchUp Free. Are you using SketchUp Pro? If that's the case, then we have a video that covers the process for SketchUp Pro that you can find here: ua-cam.com/video/oJ8UtjJgpQw/v-deo.html
Thinking about purchasing this but have yet to see where the wall/door/window displays any measurements on the actual file! Hard to actually build a house if you can’t see any measurements! Does anyone know of a video where they show this?
In SketchUp Free, you can use the Dimension tool to add the type of information you are looking for. However, because you are working in 3D space, it's harder to control the exact look of the information. Folks who want to create more professional looking construction documents with the kinds of information you're looking for will typically use SketchUp Pro together with the bundled application LayOut. LayOut is where you add all of the types of annotation that you're looking for. You can check out our LayOut video here: ua-cam.com/video/kH9O8cBfQOY/v-deo.html
I started sketchup free, but it wont let me enter any measurements or dimentions unless I pay to upgrade. I'm confused. You do it in your video - did they disable that function in the free version now?
Hi, SketchUp Free still allows you to enter measurements and dimensions, so I'm not sure what is going wrong for you. The best thing for you to do is send this message to team@sketchupschool.com and an instructor will try to help.
No, you should be able to enter the measurement in the free version. Please send a message to team@sketchupschool.com and an instructor can help you with any issue you are having.
You can enter dimensions after drawing to specify things after the fact. If you need more help in figuring out how to do that, please send an email to team@sketchupschool.com and an instructor will try to help.
@@SketchUpSchool Right but I don't think you can change the actual drawing by editing the dimension, correct? I tried SketchUp and it seemed very difficult to set, for instance, a wall length after it had been already drawn.
When I try to enter an imperial dimension I can only do so in feet. As soon as I press shift to put “ the numbers I’ve entered disappear and are replaced with the length of my line. Is it because I’m using a magic keyboard on my Mac?
@@SketchUpSchool thanks for the answer, buuuuut I’m not sure how to type the “ symbol without holding the shift key as it is on the same key as ‘ …Does that make sense? Lol
Where is the link you alluded to for SketchUp for Interior Design? I don't see it, although it may be hiding in plain sight. :-) PS love the tutorials.
On our website we offer a Video Course Library and inside it we have a SketchUp for Interior Design course (along with other courses). You can learn more about the Video Course Library and sign-up to watch any of the courses - including the Interior Design course - here: www.sketchupschool.com/video-course-library Or if you were just looking for more Interior Design related tutorials here on UA-cam, we made this playlist that has related videos: ua-cam.com/video/v-xCDa_lmUQ/v-deo.html
Here is a great website comparing GPU performance with price to try to help you find the best value graphics card: www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_value.html
The link to the notes for this video appears to be broken. I keep getting a DropBox Error page when I click the link for the PDF on the web page that opens.
Yes, in SketchUp you draw at a 1:1 scale. But then if you need to export your drawing at a specific scale, it would be best to use SketchUp Pro which comes with LayOut - that's the application that allows you to set drawing scales.
There is a SketchUp for iPad app that you can download from the App Store. There, SketchUp is designed to work best with an Apple Pencil. But you can also use your finger/hand if you don't have an Apple Pencil.
I am so frustrated. My measurements I want to create will not fit. I'm starting with the top scene, I use the drawing tool but with the axes lines in the middle I cannot get 24' x 25' room to fit. Watching the first video helped alot. What am i missing?
If you are working in a quadrant of the pane (as opposed to drawing around the origin point), you need to use the pan function to move the origin towards the upper left corner of your screen. You also need to set the proper zoom ratio to see the whole floorplan.
Overall I'm finding this so useful but I'm really struggling with the eraser tool. I'm trying erase one side of the rectangle drawn to make the exterior doorways, but my eraser tool looks different. It isn't pink, and seems to behave differently to yours in the video? I'm really struggling to erase the right part. Can anybody help?
Some of the icons have changed recently and that may be part of your issue with the Eraser tool. The best option would be to send this message to team@sketchupschool.com (about both the Eraser and Tape Measure tool issues) and an instructor will try to help.
Where the heck is the group tool? - you flew by that so fast... my 2023 free version is a bit different from the free version you are using. I have looked through every choice on the board and cannot find the group tool?
A question. When I open Sketchup Free I din't get the top line that you show on your videos that shows tools,window etc, Is something wrong with my downloaded version of Sketchup Free?
If you have downloaded SketchUp, then you are using something other than SketchUp Free... SketchUp Free is used in a web browser by going to this link: app.sketchup.com/app?hl=en If you see Tools, Window, etc. across the top, then you have probably downloaded and are using SketchUp Pro. I am not sure where you see Tools, Window, etc. across the top of our screen in this video? Maybe in a brief moment where we tell you about SketchUp Pro, but for almost all of the video we show SketchUp Free and don't have Tools, Window, etc. across the top of our screen.
There is now the Flip tool - click on the three dots on the bottom of the left toolbar to find it. So the steps are: Select the thing you want to flip, then pick the Flip tool, then click on the colored plane (red, green or blue) to flip the selection about that axis direction.
A little too fast! You know what you are doing... so you can do this in your sleep! Appreciate the knowledge, but it's a tutorial filled with adrenaline! Not for the beginner I'm afraid!!
One idea: You can either set the speed of the video playback to be a little slower, or you can pause after key steps so you have time to follow along and digest.
APPARENTLY, SKETCUP IS GOING "DOWN THE TUBES". I USED TO BE ABLE TO CREATE CUSTOM FURNITURE, WINDOWS, ETC. NOW, WHEN I DOWNOADED SKETCHUP, I NOTICE I CAN ONLY CREATE FLOOR PLANS ! AND......I'M GOING TO BE PAYING $300/YEAR TO CREATE FLOOR PLANS ???????? THERE'S A LOT OF CHEAPER (IF NOT FOR FREE) SOFTWARE THAT CAN DO THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can create more than floor plans in SketchUp. You can draw pretty much anything you can imagine, from furniture to windows to pretty much anything else.
For example, the Offset tool is one of those which is NOT available on my free version (prompt to upgrade!). So this is not 100% accurate and helpful. Overall is just OK!
The Offset tool is available in SketchUp Free. You have to click on the Push Pull tool in order to see the other related tools appear (the Offset tool is one of them)
This is not helpful enough. You zoom past each step so fast, when it does not behave the same way for us it is worthless. My view when I stop the frame to see what icon you pressed for overhead view, it seems askew, and panning around I cannot tell what is up. Then when I draw a line and enter a measurement, after pressing enter the line disappears. Then when I try to draw the next line, it does not show. A slower more detailed presentation would help. I have years ago used the pro version and always got it to work, but at the moment the free version feels incredibly clunky which does not give me faith in the newer pro version. Not a great video, it does not start from step 1 for newer users of later versions of this program.
Sorry to hear that this video didn't work well for you. Please send this message to team@sketchupschool.com and an instructor will be happy to try to help you.
Definitely not intuitive and smart. The results are a bunch of 2D lines and u still need to build a 3D model! Use sofware that provides 2D+3D both simultaneously!
Yes, in SketchUp many people will build the 3D model and create the 2D plans from that model later. But for others, they only want to start with a 2D plan - this video helps with that process.

Is there a way to save and print the floor plan to scale (1/4" = 1') in Sketchup free? Or is this one of the limitations of this version?
Yes, you can print to scale using SketchUp Free. To do that, click on the menu icon in the upper left (three horizontal lines) and pick "Print". Then on the next screen, under Print Mode, drop down the menu and pick Print to Scale. From there, you can set up your scale and then choose Print to PDF.
