I checked out your channel and saw hundreds of content for sketch up. I felt nothing but grateful after realizing you put all of this hard work to distribute your knowledge for free. Everyone doesn't do that and mad respect for your dedication!!!

[@metabaft5079]

Thanks a lot

[@supermostarda]

An important piece of advice that I would like to share here is about the mouse.
Prefer to buy a mouse that has the fourth button, besides the scroll button, because, by the number of times you need to press the scroll button to move around the workspace you can end up damaging the scroll button if it doesn't have an excellent quality.
And, a mouse with a fourth button on it's side is way more confortable to use.

[@farjadzaman344]

Yup I just bought it and it's actually comfortable :) Thanks for your recommendation

[@edwardramirez3996]

Thank you sir God bless!!
