    Lessons 1 & 2 are the best Sketchup tutorials I have found. I appreciate the verbals along with the key strokes.

    Thank you so much for creating this series for the free version of sketchup for all of us who cannot justify the cost of purchasing a CAD program!!!! So far I've been able to follow everything you did in the first 2 videos. Keep repeating those keyboard shortcuts! They are super useful and easy to forget for us new users.

    thank you for making such a simple and informative video!! I have followed multiple other tutorials and have always struggled with push pulling window and door cuts. I have spent countless hours and much time being frustrated never being able to consistently do what I want. Following this video has allowed me to do everything I want in my model with a smile on my face!

    Only used sketchup once 10 years ago to plan extension on my house and now returning to do the same. Wish your tutorials had been around then as they would have saved me loads of time as i did everything the hard way. Brilliant tutorial thanks so much.

    I usually struggle with new things unless someone is sitting right beside me showing me how to do something, but the way you word things and show the perfect examples just makes this so easy to pick up. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos.

    You are the best teacher ! Thank you very much for showing me ....(us)... everything "from scratch". I never used any design programs like this before, so at first I had to practice how to draw a single line and everything seemed so complicated. Then I watched and practiced your videos over and over and understood everything perfectly. I am currently in an interior design school. This free tutorial is absolutely priceless! After learning as much as I can from you I will be brave enough to move forward and get the pro version. I am thankful for the Universe to find you!

  • @GunnerAl9
    @GunnerAl9 3 роки тому

    The best tutorials I have located and absorbed. I split screened with sketches on the other screen to create each move as you instructed. Got lost a couple times because I don't have the hot keys memorized yet, but I caught up and was successful. Great job!

  • @mathieunoel6013
    @mathieunoel6013 3 роки тому

    Lessons 1 and 2 are very helpful- esp. if you’ve had cadd before- I’m returning to work after staying home with my kids and cadd courses are crazy expensive. This is a great alternative-it’s a great refresher class/- the end of lesson 2 when you edited how to better add materials was a little fast and confusing but if you go back through it you can figure out what he did. thank you for this free tutorial !

    Thank you very much for these tutorial videos. We are changing the layout of our house.
    By studying Sketchup I can make drafts and change them over and over again and learn
    to get the best out of home and save a lot of money that would otherwise be required to pay for this work.

  • @fablewalls
    @fablewalls 4 роки тому +6

    Well... after 10 years of downloading Sketchup and deleting it - I finally learned how to model in Sketchup and then move that model as a whole rather than move one part, warping the other joining surfaces and polygons. Thanks a bunch man - this was pretty informative. I also have a whole bunch of keyboard shortcuts too thanks to you and they all make sense.
    Maybe Trimble have changed things since this video but when I grouped my model I couldn't activate the R key to create the ceiling. Had to start the whole model all over again and not group - worked this time but the R key doesn't work as smoothly or obviously as it does in your demo here.

    • @ErikGreisson
      @ErikGreisson 4 роки тому +1

  • @jimboelterdotcomm9153
    @jimboelterdotcomm9153 2 роки тому

    This info resolves the problem I was having with "stickiness" in my practice models. I didn't realize that sticky surfaces was the default in Sketchup and that I needed to "group" items to keep my models usable.
    In general, this demo was much more helpful and easier to follow than the "official" beginner's demo/model in Sketchup Campus. (Nothing against those guys - it's not as if I was paying for it) . Very well done!

    I've never touched the program until yesterday. I watched your pt 1 and, after watching just that, I was able to build a model of the slide-in truck camper that I will be building.
    This video, pt 2, is just as helpful for furtherance. You're a very skilled tutor that educates and engages.
    Thank you! I'm going to find something for doing the framing layout also; perhaps in one of your videos?

  • @AlexSBoates
