  • Learn the fundamentals of SketchUp by following along with this video series. Each video is a mini-project that will introduce new tools and essential techniques to the SketchUp work flow.
    This is Part 1, and we will introduce you to the navigation tools so you can orbit, pan and zoom around your model, then create a simple house with a few drawing and modification tools.

    Before I saw this video I didn't know where to begin, now it seems so simple to operate the tools! It took me about 2 minutes to draw a simple house from the tutorial. I had a little problem with the chimney but finally got it!

    Wow! Wow! Wow! It is as if a new world just opened up for me. I decided three months ago I am going to take up Woodworking as a hobby. With NO DIY experience whatsoever. I am 60, so it is a bit late for new hobbies. But what the heck. One of the things I knew I had to learn was Sketchup. Also not an easy thing to learn when you are my age. But this looks doable. Will keep you posted. LOL

    Interesting- so you have incorporated a 3D (or even 4D) modeling element with just the mouse. I recall having to use a dedicated 4D input device with a dozen programable buttons to do CAD CAM, but this seems much cleaner, simpler and with a lower learning curve. Nicely done. Question: I was hoping as you showed th part about creating steps, there might be a brief reference how to create such boxes of pre-determined dimensions (like 4' by 6') instead of having to struggle to get the dimensions exactly right as I move the cursor back and forth. Is that in a coming tutorial?

    • @hugothelegume2994
      @hugothelegume2994 Рік тому

    How do I stop the line drawing? I click to make a line, but I can't figure out how to end the line. If I click, it just sets another point and continues the line when I move the mouse. He managed to draw his example lines on the roof, then somehow he moved to another area of the roof and disconnected from his first line to start the chimney. I can't do that; the line is always there, dragging behind me!. . . . .Ok, somehow I managed to do it, but I'm not sure how. Later I realized he mentions briefly something about the escape key to stop the line. Would have been nice to have that instruction the first time. Even so, I still get inconsistency when I try to draw lines. Sometimes I can get them to do what he shows, but more often I can't. When I do, it's usually some random thing I did that I can't duplicate.

    hm... The "click > click" UX convention is definitely going to mess with me. As a designer, all of my programs are click and drag based. I'm honestly curious as to what led to the decision to use that method as oppose to clicking and dragging? (I'm asking this with curiosity, not criticism).

    It is extremely difficult to perform a simple task like drawing a rectangle make multiple copys of it flip them if needed and move and line them up in the orientation you want. I could do stuff like that over 10 years ago in Publisher and it was very intuitive and easy to find out how to do it. I have spend hours in Sketchup trying to understand how to make something easy like that happen but I give up. I am going to draw on paper and import/scan in to sketchup and see if that is easier and if it works to scale it without being a professor in geometry.

    Two long reoccurring Issues - Help Please:
    1. When I draw for a long while and the model becomes more complex, I find that when I erase an unwanted line crossing my original rectangular plane, the plane is erased, leaving the outline perimeter lines.
    Example: I use the rectangle tool to draw a single horizontal plane. Then I draw shapes on the rectangle. I may make many additions and erasures along the way.
    a) Then, when I erase a single line within the rectangle, the plane is removed.
    b) Another way the issue appears is, If I right click and erase the original plane leaving the outer four lines of the plane. When I try to draw the plane back again, using the rectangle tool and the original corner points of the first rectangle, it will not create the plane. I should note that the other 2-D shapes I drew on the plane still are there. Suggestions?
    2. Also, with this not really very complex drawing described in the above example, I sometimes find that when I attempt to draw a rectangle to create a surface, the surface will not draw. I have found that this can be caused by an infinitesimally short line that is attached to one leg of the rectangle perimeter lines. It is so small, that it can only be seen by zooming all the way in on the leg to then erase it.
    The way I find this short line is to a draw diagonal line on the rectangular plane. One triangular area will become a solid plane and the other half will remain open. Continue drawing diagonal lines until there is only a small open plane. Then I zoom it to erase this errant line.
    Question: is there an easier/faster way to do this?
    Much Thanks in advance!
