You sir are a God! I am a sculpture artist given the task of building models of an old school. This is fantastic information and have helped me up the sketchup ladder another rung. Thank you VERY much for taking the time to make this and teach us!
Lots of great tips! I especially like the parts about using Google Earth to find existing 3D models at a site. I just recently started using the drape tool, and your tips about grouping were terrific.
I wish there was a condensed video explaining point perspective through the program for beginning younger students. You are so talented, let us know if you ever do this.
Wow, that was a fantastic video, thank you. It's amazing how these tools now work together like that, and you have obviously learned these tools inside and out. I am very impressed with what you show in this video. Thank you.
Great tutorial. Thanks so much for putting this together. I especially appreciated the small asides that uncovered a ton of useful tricks and Sketchup details. Keep up the good work.
SU 2013! Awesome! This is prolly closer to the functions of my 2017 than the new stuff. Good to playlist this because of how much you cover. Still good!
Careful with default colour... suggest you always assign colours to every surface if you are going to use rendering software to ensure materials are mapped (named) correctly in that software, default color mapped to the group or component are not carried over
For streets,, just create a rectangle group and then stretch and copy it over the overall street layout... then explode and group them into one street pattern and trim and radius the intersection as required... just reduce the fill transparency so you can see your reference image below
Great Video. However most of the site context steps aren't working for me. Clicking on most buildings in google earth does not reveal the information shown in the video; no title of model or author. This means I can't find the nearby buildings for my model, in fact the components tab/nearby models is populated by very few buildings, even though the area I'm working in is fully modelled in legacy mode. (My site area is Viale Duilio, Milan, Italy) Also the 'add photo texture from google earth' function to a face in SU is all screwed up; the field of view angle is set to about 180 meaning the building face has such a large curved distortion that I can't grab it using the simple 4side polygon grab tool. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to applying these techniques to my context model.
Great work fam, I was actually thinking about doing some 3d modeling sites for fun and maybe do a neighborhood slum from Brazil for a sci-fi story and hopefully be able to use the environment running around from different angles.
much of this stuff is simply not available anymore since Google changed things. but it's still worth watching to learn some things. like it's always changing . . .
The nearby models i click will download but not in place. Is there a setting that I am missing to make it do this. Once downloaded they are attached to my cursor. Thank you.
How do you solve the problem of buildings and roads not being automatically located when downloaded? I get the object but it is not fixed and requires me to place it on the aerial photo in sketchup.
ok i found that if you download the same model of the video, it will automatically place in the right place. but there isn't a way to know if a model in 3dwarehouse is georeferenced! so you have to try untill you find the right one :(
YOU can model the neighbor buildings in your neighborhood, like he did with the "new building", and so publish the models you did on Google warehouse linked with Google Earth and so your country will be represented : )
This is a great tutorial, however when I was trying to get the buildings from google earth, (i have a mac) i would click on the buildings and it was set up a little differently, but when i clicked the link for sketchup, it would say error 404 not found. Also, when i click on the buildings, the building information (height etc.) is not showing up.
Is 3D Terrain available for Canada? I followed the instructions to load the hilly terrain around my house in Sketchup but the image remains flat as a pancake.
Wonderful Tutorial. I could've used this years ago. I would have liked to see you incorporate the front and back face(s) color/material GUI in the Entity Info pallet when you were explaining affecting a group's default color - That could help understand the concept a little better? Great video, though! :D
Hello!, many thanks for this wonderful explanation. Please could you explain how to fix the problem that the models are not automatically placed in their location?
I've never used Sketchup, but watching you so skilfully do what you do is a real treat and has gotten me interested in the product.
Best explanatory Sketchup Vid ever!
The explanation, the context and the tempo! SUPERB!
This video is incredible, it covers some essential things and the presentation is clear and interesting. thank you for posting this!

It is so good for design that give us a clear picture for Urban Perspectives.

GREAT TUTORIAL.
I knew the tools and models were in Earth/Google/Warehouse, just was not exactly sure how to extract/import everything. You ROCK!!!
This is a really an outstanding SketchUp training video. Thank you!
Perfect Tutorial. Thank you very much. Greetings from the United Kingdom
Wow, that was a fantastic video, thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Especially for the tracing roads on terrain that isn't flat since I work in the Pittsburgh area.
Thank you for posting this! This is such a huge help for work project I just received!
Thank you very much, I have got many super useful tips by watching this video presentation. Many cheers and have a great day !
Great tutorial! i had no idea sketch up did so much.
Excellent video. I've done a little site modeling in the past and I wish this video would have been available then. Thanks!
This video is amazing and I am so excited to put these techniques to work on a quick site model. Thank you so much !!!!!
Thank you Aidan, very helpful and informative.
Excellent working loved it 👍
I'm just directed here from skecthupdate newsletter,, thank you,, it's been a long time ain't opening skp
Pretty nice video by a good teacher... I did enjoy a lot and I'll try to practice... Thanks a lot!!!!!

A very informative tutorial, well presented. Thank you.
Awesome video and very useful tutorials ! Thanks !
Bravo. A lot of great info here. Thanks!
just what kind of people work behind these google maps ?
I mean the actual people who are behind coding. Hats Off !
Very helpful, thanks for making the video. Definitely helpful in improving my skills in SketchUp to add for a well-rounded 3D program arsenal.
For streets,, just create a rectangle group and then stretch and copy it over the overall street layout... then explode and group them into one street pattern and trim and radius the intersection as required... just reduce the fill transparency so you can see your reference image below
wow massive props ! excellent tutorial owe you one mate ! thanks
Legend says he's still not back..

I keep coming back to those basics videos because I STILL don't know how to properly use the software. I'm gonna cry
Very helpfull. Thank you
Very Nice
Great video!! Thanks
Wonderful Tutorial. I could've used this years ago.
I would have liked to see you incorporate the front and back face(s) color/material GUI in the Entity Info pallet when you were explaining affecting a group's default color - That could help understand the concept a little better?

:D
Really interesting. Thanks !
Thanks. Great tutorial.
