Great video. I have a suggertion..... It would be nice if some of the examples were more realistic in your videos. Just about all decks have a slope on them, and as you transition around a corner, the decks have to join together, meaning the railings will not all be perfectly level with each other whenever a deck wraps around two different sides of a building... It would be nice to see you do some of these tutorials and incorporate more of the real world ways of installing.
@@arayahomes4308 Not a deck builder over here - I'm a 3D modeling instructor. I suspected it would be something small like this. Generally speaking I probably wouldn't model something to this level of detail unless I thought it would substantially affect the look of the deck. Instead I'd just model it flat and take care of this with a note on drawings, which seems to be fairly standard practice. Really depends on if you're trying to provide visuals, create plans, or have an ultra detailed mock-up model, which I don't see a lot for decks.
@@Thesketchupessentials That's a great reply and a solid point. That point is something I've been trying to understand for a long time, when and when not to do something.... In your example you mention about how you wouldn't slope the deck and you would just note it. That makes things so much easier back in sketchup... I honestly don't know if it's acceptable to produce elevations where the deck doesn't look sloped, but it might be. My concern with that is if I don't slope the deck for my drawings, than my column heights at the front would be wrong, etc. Of course everything is verified in the field and confirmed but yea.... This a tough subject. With that info where you need the right column heights and things like that, when would you say is a good idea to slope a deck or tilt something that may not need to be tilted? One good question that I know a lot of people struggle with including myself is drywall finishes. Nick sonders for example doesn't draw the thickness of drywall in his models and instead just paints it on. If a material is over 1/2" he will draw it as a physical layer and not just paint it on...... What do you recommend when it comes to finishing layers? Thanks for your time.
Happy Monday everyone! Hope you're doing well this week! :)
I'm trying to add a slope to a land..which extension do you think I should use?
The shape of the land isn't uniform
Sandbox tools
Awesome sir.. because of you I m able to know the sketch up.. and learn in a very good way.. thank you sir for ur all tutorials
Glad to hear that!
Video rất hay. Cám ơn bạn đã chua sẻ
Will this work for sloped railing at stairs?
2:40 I'm also often asked to hide my deck, Its always getting in the way.

A slope for drainage? I don't understand - most decks I've seen are built flat...
@@Thesketchupessentials It's code just about everywhere that a deck has a minimum 1/4" per foot slope. Water should drain away from a building.
