I haven't used SketchUp in years. The last time I remembered doing it was to design a dog house for class. I tried to give as much detail as my 13 year old brain could, including the dog.
If you do that you lose your planar and access to the only polygon that you could use for modeling an attic or loft. Shortcuts aren't always the best cuts. Learned that working with AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Unreal and zbrush.
I recently learned this phrase: Modus Operandi. It refers to someone who continues their habitual operations. I feel like it's a way of doing things just because that's the way you've done them in the past. Instead of trying to adjust or even improve, you just stick with what you know.
When I was 12 I made a "porta potty" the size of a house on Sketch-up. I placed it next to my friends house on Google Earth as some kind of practical joke. Good times.
actually learning the shortcuts and techniques are so useful especially in a massive scale. I've been using sketchup for around days then already had master it due to the fact that I have an experience with other 3d modelling software. I am a college now and we have this drafting subject, our professor gave us simple activities to do, floor plan and 3d model house. He expected us to do just simple house like box and roof and even gave us 1 month of time to do so. I literally had made 2 story modern house with custom interiors and furnitures that I had made from scratch and took me just 3 days combined. My classmates blew their mind when they saw my work and started to commission me to do work for them...
A loop/ring cut works too if you don't mind the extra edges, shortcut is Ctrl+r. It also has options for equally spacing multiple cuts instead of just 1 at the center.
I rather do 2 extra steps to make a more precise roof then what u doing fam.... Yes u get it done faster but then u have to go back and straighten things
But you do have to have a reference to know the pitch, so by that time you might as well have drawn the profile. But this is an overall good technique to master.
Fair comment - definitely wouldn't recommend this for really precise roofs as there are better ways, but it's great for quick roofs AND if you create some guides to snap to with the protractor!
@@Thesketchupessentials I guess the ONE move way is just to calculate what the rise should be based on the width of the building then just pull up the line that amount.
The only designers those use Google SketchUp that I know of are the ones using Apple computer and can’t install Rhino or Solidoworks or any other legit modeling sw
What if I need to draw a trapezoidal shape house with three levels all different sizes and a pool in the back half of the house that goes between the second floor and the first floor requiring that there is not to be a roof there of course...
I haven’t seen or used sketch up since I was in early middle school. I can’t believe the default template is still the 2D guy and his dog 😂 some things never change lol
Man, my parents were architects and have them in computers, back then when I was really young I kept making empty box houses with them considering I can't download any games, so I thought this was a game that I can make to build houses XD
Depends - for some purposes sure, but if you're not doing anything that requires complex UV mapping or subdivision, it really doesn't matter, and honestly, that's the case in other programs like Blender as well.
@@Thesketchupessentials Within this application it's actually completely okay but if we were export into an fbx and wanted to render it within another software such any modern unreal or source 2 engine it will cause lighting issues. I admit within this software it's only principle and not a requirement.
@@Thesketchupessentials That's because person, that study modeling, does not know about problems yet. I spent some time studying SketchUp for making models for 3D print. I consider that time as lost for nothing. I wasted that time! Now I model in Fusion 360.
@@olvintful As a general rule, I don't consider any time spent learning something new wasted, but Fusion 360 is definitely an awesome tool for 3D printing, so I'm glad you found something that works :)
Thanks, next time I'm making Monopoly houses and hotels cuz I ate them all, I'll be sure to use this trick.
I quite literally burst out laughing. Thank you for the entertainment.
what.. do they taste like.. im hungry and need snacks

@gluppo p00psh1tt they taste slightly better than american "cheese" (aka processed cheese).
@@snail1635 i want to eat a crunchy plastic house do you think i would have a disdain towards the plasticized cheese
I remember playing around with SketchUp in my Dad laptop in early 2000s
Same
I remember use this in.. 2020
So much nostalgia. It reminds me of my childhood when I did not know about existence of Blender :D
Same. I started put with Sketchup with a lot of plugins and Vray.
Bruh all of yall being nostalgic of something Im learning💀
Don’t learn Google SketchUp you are getting yourself into a dead end. My favorite is Solidworks but Rhino, Fusion, Alias are all solid choices
please switch to blender
@@dominicduncan9895 Blender is not true 3D, it’s for 3D graphics. Also it is way too new, by the time I went to college it’s not even a thing yet
Why are you learning sketch up 💀
fusion for dimensional 3d (like 3d printing) blender for visualisation and simulation
YOOOO I REMEMBER USING THAT APP IN SCHOOL 😭 There was a whole lesson on it
One lesson? I spent 2 years learning sketchup in school, it was awesome!
Lmao same
@@lightningvini congrats on learning a dead program
I actually do started with Sketchup, never went back after I used Blender, but it brings good memories 😄
The nostalgia of building something in this on our computer is strong
I haven't used SketchUp in years. The last time I remembered doing it was to design a dog house for class. I tried to give as much detail as my 13 year old brain could, including the dog.
Love it :)
Tack du är den bästa läraren. Utan alla dina tips och råd så hade jag gett upp 3D modelering och printning 🙏🙂
Omds with advice like this I would have been able to finish my engineering assignment in time
I don't know what this programm is for, but bro, ngons are everywhere man.
I mean...in this case it really doesn't matter...
This can work for extremely simplistic designs but not for ones that are realistic and can actually be applied into real life
Why is everybody saying that sketchup isn't good anymore. Isn't it still one of the best softwares for this type of work?
You just made a roof that will make every carpenter on the planet cry.
even quicker, just make the cross section sketch include the roof and extrude.
Thanks. it's really helpful
Most welcome!
omg i forgot about sketchup we used to say that our teacher created his children with the push pull tool 💀
Who is using SketchUp in 2022
👋
@@zacharyweiss2051 And yet you're here, commenting on SketchUp videos
@@Thesketchupessentials damaged reputation
What's the better alternative?
Not me.
Nice video!
crazy super tip
:)
I use SketchUp exclusively for 3d modeling I'm too dumb to use anything more advanced. And for 3d printed parts it's actually accurate to 0.01mm
Awesome tip
i remember messing with this on the computer in the library before getting yelled at for it after i did it enough times💀
My high-school art class had a semester using Sketch-Up, shit was awful, but fun with friends lol
wow a tutorial that actually does it in less steps
I never thought of it that way
My mind blown
Control press for this problem

Not really. All you do is hide the two faces that make up the roof and you're right there
All these people saying they haven't used SketchUp in years but my dad still uses for work to this day

Helpful as always 😍
Glad you think so!

I love it when you forget to use the arrow keys, and the roof goes everywhere but up.
So annoying.
blender and 3dsmax supremacy
Nice ngons.

Is there a way to do this in blender??
Correct

Create the type video it's very useful
What if you want a 30 or 45 or 60 degree roof ?
A wise old man once told me: "Just use blender bruh"
Suppose it depends on what you're trying to do
Oh good, one of these tutorials that isn't complete garbage. Like seriously, almost all others that I see take more time
Everyone who’s played sims gets annoyed building roofs as it’s never prefect lol

oh god sketchup... this is not something I wanted to remember
I think you're a smart guy. I love the way you explain
I had to do a million sketch up assessments in computer science class when I was younger.
Autofold?? Bruh that's literally what happens when you move edges ☠️
I don’t even know which software this is
It's in the name of the video
Just use Fusion, blender or literally ANYTHING ELSE BUT NOT SKETCHUP!
The only designers those use Google SketchUp that I know of are the ones using Apple computer and can’t install Rhino or Solidoworks or any other legit modeling sw
Yes, yes, we see you now how to make a roof, but lets see the over hand and the degrees required for certain roof materials..
What if I need to draw a trapezoidal shape house with three levels all different sizes and a pool in the back half of the house that goes between the second floor and the first floor requiring that there is not to be a roof there of course...
Lot of people on here saying that sketchup is a dead end, what software could someone recommend to me? im a furniture maker and woodworker
I remember when i used sketchup for complex things. Now that i use blender, sketchup is just a joke to me.
You are indeed doing it wrong: by using sketchup
I use blender and I feel offended
this threw me violently back into middle school
Yo my school used to use this app.
This breaks so many rules. This sh it will never render. Good luck.
It renders great, actually. There's a time and a place for quads, and right here it really doesn't matter
Yeah no... They're not even symmetrical
Me, literally don't know what sketchup is: Interesting! Time to get Sketchup and try this thing, I guess.
That's stupid because you have to have them separate objects
Why would I want them as separate objects?
I haven’t seen or used sketch up since I was in early middle school. I can’t believe the default template is still the 2D guy and his dog 😂 some things never change lol
I hate sketchup. But this tip helps so thanks.
Wow is sketch up still a thing? Man I miss sketchup, but boy am I happy to use fusion and openacad now!
What is the ms paint bs
Man, my parents were architects and have them in computers, back then when I was really young I kept making empty box houses with them considering I can't download any games, so I thought this was a game that I can make to build houses XD
How would you do specific roof pitches for example a 10 pitch which is at 39.81 degrees?
how can do it in grasshopper?
What's the name of this program
What program are you useing
I used to do that back in the days and then I realized quickly that I could just draw a line and lift it up like that.
Tnx, I will never use this
Someone call the Sims devs
line + move, mann i miss this program
SketchUp user.
Imagine if sketchup was still free, and didnt need to use the internet to use it.
Auto desk better
I have this in DT tomorrow and I had this exact problem last time.
is sketchup really this primitive?
I'll stick to Blender
Lol - literally tab into edit mode in Blender and add an edge loop and it does the same thing, so I'm not sure what's "primitive" about it
Oh my God you lacked 5 percent efficiency
no such sketch in autocad.when you hold-up,he line alone go upward
This isn't in Autocad...
I still remember using this app in secondary school lol
isnt good topology a thing in sketchup too?
Depends - for some purposes sure, but if you're not doing anything that requires complex UV mapping or subdivision, it really doesn't matter, and honestly, that's the case in other programs like Blender as well.
My school made us use sketchup last year and it was torture
What part didn't you like?
These little tips and tricks are so useful thank you so much
Raise the roof! 🎉
LOL
My man really just gonna eyeball it huh
What am I doing here. I use Autodesk Maya and I’m very confused
broo bringing me back to the good old days of sketchup

This will create and ngon, a face with more than 4 vertexes. Normally you DO NOT want to do this

What makes you say that?
@@Thesketchupessentials sketchup was dropped by Google in 2012 and picked up by another company. I just looked it up.
