This video was a lot of fun to make. It nearly took me a whole week of writing, recording, and editing. I cut out so much material. I really wanted to get it down to 10 minutes. I hope you got a ton of value out of it. If you want to check out my book, SketchUp to LayOut, you can use coupon code 10OFF to save 10%. SketchUptoLayOut.com
your 10 minutes challenge has made it unclear at every other occasion
What do you think about using 3D imaging apps like Canvas or ARPlan 3D to convert photos and videos to 3D files and then modify them? Are the type of files created by those apps able to import into Sketchup for editing?
Hello, is there a multiple-drawing views on Sketchup that you can set to different angles front, top etc. and view at the same time ? Like in Vectorworks, Rhino, Revit?
This is how anyone should make their intro tutorial on anything. You did an amazing job. Will recommend for sure! Thank you.
Nñn
Do you have any videos where you walk through these tools more slowly? Any other Sketchup tutorials you would recommend for someone who learns at a slightly slower pace/ needs a little bit more handholding?
I cannot express how much I appreciate this video and your skill in teaching. I use very advanced softwares (TVPaint, Adobe, Blender) but STRUGGLED with Sketchup. It seemed so remarkably unintuitive (yes, that coming from an Adobe user).
I have tried on several occasions to learn Sketchup, each time getting into a simple project, hitting a wall (no pun intended), then walking away in frustration.
But this time with this video, you seem to teach the way I learn. You're concise, organized in thought, you provide a simple overview (faces, edges), and you show how its done.
This time I will make this end table successfully. Then, with practice in Sketchbook, and as a woodworker, the sky will be my limit.
Thank you, Matt.
This is a great video. Thank you for taking the time to make it so concise. I am a complete beginner and I went from clueless to cautiously confident using this video. It did not take me 10 minutes--I spent hours replaying, slowing down the speed, and fiddling on my own--but it got me there. Thanks again!
big thank you! it my first time using sketchup and thanks to you i know how to us it after 10 minutes, wow
This video was just what I needed. Took me from fumbling to feeling like I know what I'm doing. Thank you.
i love being a quick learner, videos like these really help me with that possibility.
Great beginner tutorial. High quality and straight to the point. Thank you :)
Thank You!
Man! Your the first one to show me how to put in bevel on a face. thank you. It is a wonderful thing.👍
Fantastic video. Dense but crystal clear. Great job. Subbed.
Thank you for this video, as a beginner I want more of these 10 min tutorials! appreciate it
Day one of my introduction to Sketchup, thank you! My ultimate goal is to create a 3D model of my home by copying the original construction blueprints to my home. I think a step-by-step multi-video tutorial would be awesome! I would love to learn Sketchup step-by-step while creating my 3D home drawing. My ultimate goal once a fully detailed 3D drawing of my home is complete is to then start messing around with remodel concepts to share with my wife.
nice pace and concise. thanks
Outstanding video. I’m a total beginner to Sketchup but not 3D modeling. Please continue to post more content. It would be phenomenal if you could do a tutorial on something like making a sofa!
Excellent video in all respects!
Thank you for such professional and simple video.
Excellent!!!! Many thanks
Bro you are awesome! Thanks for the videos!
thank you!
helpful and concise, thank you
What a great video, helps A LOT in the beginning.
best tutorial!
Very easy to understand... Thanks boss!
Hey! Loved this as an intro to the software. I had a bit of a hard time though, mostly because of the language. It would've been great if you showed the controls you are using (maybe just writen on some corner of the screen)
This was awesome, thanks. I'm a huge fan of keyboard shortcuts so bring'em on! Going to try to uses SketchUp to build a crib. We'll see how it goes!
All around an excellent video. I really appreciate your concise and engaging teaching style. There was only one instruction I couldn't figure out, "Snap to Origin" but I can look it up later.
I'm very new to using any design software and haven't done any in the last 6 months. This video really knocked the dust off and got me back in the game. It took a bit more than 10 min but not as long as other videos would have.
I've subscribed and can't wait to learn more from you.
Keep up the good work.

I am a Sketchup since 2008. This is the best video I have ever seen about Sketchup. Thank you so much. Is the 3D Gallery still available?
this helpedd mee a lott tnx
the tutorial was really help full expecting other videos too for the beginners. thanks a lot
Ton of info in a short space, I'll have to go through it more than once.
Matt, thanks for this. I am a long-time but sporadic user of SketchUp Pro in Windows and am now trying to get proficient with SketchUp for the iPad. I really like the way you teach.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Such a great video.
Wow! Just came across this video. I've been using Sketchup as a newbie for very few projects over the years, but I was not aware of many of the things that are covered in this 10 minute video. It may be short, but it's packed with very useful information and tips. I have a new project coming soon so I just subscribed! Thanks a lot!
Amazing! You truly are a skilled teacher. I'm a complete beginner and will study this video over and over until I absorb it all. It is totally relevant to a project I have in mind. So very, very glad to have found you. Thanks from your newest subscriber!
Thank you. Very inspiring.
You're welcome.
Thank you for your efforts, we need more basics like this, keep it up, subscribed already for u❤
very nice, thanks
How did you edit the segments on the polygons? When I open entity info it doesn't show the segments or the radius
Hi, bro your tutorial was so cool am interested and wanna to learn more from your tips and tricks.
Outstanding
Unique, you teach well! Casual woodworker here, show how to make cubbies next!
Been studying this program. Thanks.
Cool. Hopefully this video helps.
hold control, double click, switch to this tool, hold the middle mouse button down, and press shift while juggling three basketballs.
Hello, thank you for the video. I need some advice using Sketchup Free. I have always had a few fonts available for 3D text but now all I can access is Open Sans Regular. Does anyone else have have the same issue? Thanks in advance.
@5:00 something was edited out there and I can't get the bevel to work. I don't understand what the up arrow does and if I should be holding the mouse while I tap the up arrow, but it comes out all wonky. Can someone help?
The Up arrow locks the movement along the blue axis. You just tap it to engage, don't need to hold it down.
(Make sure the group is opened for editing, you need to double-click it with the select tool to open it.)
1. Select the perimeter edges with the Select tool while holding CTRL(Win) or Option (Mac)
2. Activate the Move tool, click once to start moving the selected edges.
3. Tap the up arrow, this will ensure the selected edges only move along the blue axis.
4. Move your mouse up a little bit, to indicate which direction you intend to move the edges.
5. Type in 1/4" ENTER.
@@Mastersketchup this comment saved me, thanks a lot for the tutorial!
I'm using a macbook with a mouse. when I try and select the corners (holing control and select tool) it won't allow me to select the corners on their own. Just highlights ever joined corner. So the whole object.
hey, sorry to ask, but I on not see that bar on the right, how do I get this visible?
legend
videos on pretty much everytNice tutorialng. Feels like I can finally move forward with making soft.
I'm using the free app and I don't seem to have the options you have with the push/pull tool. When you started to work on beveling the top, you had three icons broken out to the side to select from and I don't have that.
I think they changed the interface slightly.
when i click on rectangle tool, i don't get the fly out options for other tools?
I dont understand how to enter second messurment in rectangle mode?
Really enjoyed the video. Struggled with the bevel but eventually got it. I have attempted the aprons, rails, and drawer but I don't think this tutorial set you up to be able to do those. Specifically the drawer... For the drawer I used the offset and move tool but I know that isn't the proper way. And for the drawer knob - that wasn't successful.
when I triple click the table leg to select it as a group, it also selects the tabletop. So I grouped the tabletop first, then tried to extrude, but it then wouldn't let me extrude from there. Any tips?
sir i need sketchup 32bit software
the new update doesnt let you add dimensions :'(
How do I add text
What would be the reason that the hotkeys don't work in sketchup make 2017? Does anyone else have this problem?
These instructions don't seem to work any more. Can't enter dimensions in - at least not on the web based version. All ends up feeling frustrating really.
Instruction moves way too fast. I've had to pause and rewind each instruction multiple times in order to keep pace. I don't mind doing that once or twice, but when 3-4 instructions are given so rapidly, it's just confusing.
Actually the pace is just spot-on!
Way too fast. I'm stuck at the bevel, watched it at least 20 times trying to see whatever it is you're calling a bevel, but the image is only up for a fraction of a second so I can't tell whether mine looks the same. Even when I pause at that spot, I don't see what it is that looks different than it did before. I'd much rather spend 15 minutes and be able to actually see what you're doing.
i actually created a completely seperated 3d box and created a more exaggerated bevel to get it working
control clicking does not work to make beveled edge
I've followed this and the bevel part doesn't work. I can't type in a measurement. Is this now different seeing it's May 2023?
You should be able to input measurements, that part hasn't changed, but the interface is a little different
It will not let me scale in the leg (6:30) without one of the up/down sides remaining a full rectangle. I can't figure out what is causing this and apparently no one else has had this issue :(
Me too
For anyone coming late, I found it! Be sure to select only the bottom face of the leg
5:06 I’ve done this step probably 50 times but I never get a bevel. The edges all flair out in different directions but there is never a bevel.
Same here.
same. I wonder if some of the hotkeys have changed (?), but I get some pretty weird shapes, but never a bevel.
had the same problem ... I think the solution is to click the leg twice (to "open" the entity (leg)) ... then you can create the bevel ... but it is a little tricky. He does go over it but you have to go slow and keep trying ... it works
your shirt!
RHODE ISLAND MENTIONED
great video - however I am stumped on getting the legs to taper! Once I create my lines to taper to it just tapers teh whole leg and ignores the lines I created. What am I doing wrong!
Make sure you are clicked into the leg component when you draw the lines. This will split the faces. If you aren’t clicked into the component it just draws a line and it won’t reference the taper from the line. I had the same issue and just figured it out. Good luck!
You need to open the leg component first so the edges you draw merge with the geometry inside the component. So double-click the leg component with the Select tool first, then draw the edge.
are you tapering all sides of the leg? hard to tell from the graphic in the video. @@Mastersketchup
All applies to the free version too?
This is the free version
how do you snap to origin?
When I used the Push/Pull tool to extrude the leg down, you can see that I zoomed out until I could see the origin (where the green, red, and blue axes intersect) and simply positioned my mouse over it. SketchUp snaps to it automatically, just click to finish.
Brand new to this, I appreciate the pace and your teaching style but nothing is working. IDK if I'm using a different version, but many of the actions are not available or don't work. I have watched/created this table over 20x, side-by-side screen to the video, following every single step and it doesn't work. EX: selecting the lines to make the bevel. No matter how many times I try it I can not select more than one line. Almost all of the commands using CTRL don't work. Probably user error but I can't see what I'm missing.
To select more than one edge, you need to hold down CTRL (Windows) Option (Mac) while clicking each edge. Also, yes, it looks like SketchUp modified the layout slightly
If this is a beginner's course, it would be helpful to start at the beginning. I'm sure I can figure it out, but I just downloaded the program and opened it and it looks nothing like this. I don't have a toolbar for example. It just had some options whether to start in inches or meters, for example, and you made no mention of this.
This is the free, web-based version, not the desktop version
I first want to thank you for this video, I look forward to watching more. Oner critique I would have, you talk really fast and I could not keep up and got frustrated. I'm a newbie so I am sure this will get better.
I have tried and tried and i can not get the bevel! I slowed it down, so I could find where he was saying [useless things like] grab the and click here and here. I have gone back over and over again! then at the end he just says " and then you make the drawer! EEK so frustrating!!!!!
Turns out those "useless things" I said were in fact, important! lol I'll try to break it down for you.
1. Activate the Select tool, double-click on the table top group to open it for editing.
2. Activate the Offset tool, click on the bottom face, move the mouse inward, type 2" ENTER.
3. Activate the Select tool, click on each outer edge while holding the CTRL key.
4. Activate Move tool, Click to start the move, tap the up arrow to lock the blue axis, type in 1/4" ENTER.
Every step is important, if you miss one thing, it's not going to work.
Good video, a bit too fast tho.
Holy crap lol... I've been a "fitness guy" for over a decade, but kinda dissolutioned with the whole scene and haven't "worked out" almost at all for 4 months, since moving and stopping CrossFit coaching (part time hobby job).
I moved from the suburbs onto about 1.6 acres and started shooting a bow, running between however many shots to and from various shooting positions. I feel like a kid again and it's a blast! Now I'm starting to integrate pullups, kettlebells, etc.
I was into the Mobility Stick for a bit, and thought it'd be cool to start making nice hardwood staffs to develop harvesting and woodworking skills for bows. I could use them like a mobility stick and learn to Flow with them as another exercise. It all feels incredibly functional and natural - this is what our body wants to do.
That sent me down a rabbit hole that led me to this video, an awesome collision of my new (revived from boyhood) aspirations. Excited for this new journey and love the energy of this trailblazer.
Cutting this down to 10 min and editing out specific clicks made it completely not helpful. I can’t figure out the bevel or the scale tool and I’m looking elsewhere after that
Wow - there has GOT to be something that I'm missing!!! Every move I make does not do what I want SketchUp to do :(
Same, I feel like i have a different version or he is leaving out some of the steps or something. I'm still stuck on the bevel @ 5:00
I’m glad I’m not the only one
Same!
Sketchup was so much easier when it first came out.
(Make sure the group is opened for editing, you need to double-click it with the select tool to open it.)
1. Select the perimeter edges with the Select tool while holding CTRL(Win) or Option (Mac)
2. Activate the Move tool, click once to start moving the selected edges.
3. Tap the up arrow, this will ensure the selected edges only move along the blue axis.
4. Move your mouse up a little bit, to indicate which direction you intend to move the edges.
5. Type in 1/4" ENTER.
What a faff took me 45 minutes for that basic table, onto the next software I think
Talks very fast and is hard to understand. I had to listen at 0.75x speed and still didn't fully understand. Would be a better tutorial if he didn't keep giving us facts. I just wanted to make the nightstand. Please slow down or add that at the end of the video. Other than that, excellent tutorial.
WAY too fast. move with the move tool means nothing to a complete newb. it would help to say maybe “use the space bar to change to the select tool”. the scroll wheel for me doesn’t zoom, it spins the image. making a simple table is a great way to start, but you’re flying through this
I intentionally removed all redundancy. For example, I tell you how to use the Move tool at 3:06, and then any time after that I just say "move with the Move tool" to eliminate redundancy. I'll make a longer video next
This program works almost never, super glitchyl, and none of these shortcuts work on the free version anymore which make the workflow pointlessly slow. Literally had better features 15 years ago for FREE.
The video may go for 10 minutes but you cover the content way too fast. Took me ten minutes just to figure out what you actually did with the grouping.
Waaayyyyy too fast. For each section you gave a ton of instructions in a matter of a few seconds. Even slowing the video and going back over and over again I'm still lost.
I'll do a 20 minute version next
😂 slow down
for beginners my ass lol
Your are going way too fast for a beginner video. You are treating like you are doing an ad for Sketchup.
I have some 3D experience but you're speaking way too fast for me. I don't think the goal of a beginner video should be keeping it under 10 minutes (like it's a UA-cam law or something). The goal here is to teach, not to sell a used car. It should be a calm focused introductory pace so people can calmly listen, watch, digest, understand, and try. Good content -- just my opinion on pacing for tutorials...
I disagree. IMHO this video is perfect. It is my go to video. Covers everything you need to know quickly. I just rewatch the each area I’m interested in.
You need to effing slow the hell down. Your going way to fast for a beginner. I barely have a chance to find the next tool before you've already finished the table top. I am so freaking determined to learn this program but everyone that tries to teach it forgets that they are a pro and the people learning are beginners literally.
0.5 x speed
Pause button 😂 rewind button 😂😂 the choices are endless
For beginners but he uses a lot of advanced shortcuts and doesn’t explain fully. The scale down or tapered legs was an awful explanation on how to do it might as well just learn on your own. This guy must be a college professor, no chance he knows how to teach
Way too fast. Useless.
You are so confusing, fast and assume to much. If this is a novice, beginner video, it sucks.
Using Group for 99.8% of everything is a waste of electrons. Group lacks the functionality of Component. WTF? arriad? uh RAYD
YOU CALLED A CHAMPHER A BEVEL - INCORRECTLY - A BEVEL GOES FROM ONE EDGE TO ANOTHER EDGE AT 45 DEGREES - A CHAMPHER ONLY CUTS THE EGDE AT 45 DEGREES AND LEAVES A SMALL FLAT SURFACE ON THE EDGE - YOU SHOULD ADJUST YOUR VIDEO TO REFLECT THE CORRECT WORDING - POOR TEACHING PRACTICE - GET IT RIGHT
pardon me, but how on earth did you manage to only select the extruded leg, not the whole leg-tabletop thingamabob ua-cam.com/video/zpdMZK6LlDE/v-deo.html ? When i try it, it allways picks the whole lot. And i just click it(the leg) three times, just like you did. You dont explain this anywhere in this video. Im quite mad. I keep spawning one-legged tables untill you address this point!
Sounds like you didn't make a group around the table top first, as shown at 2:00
@@Mastersketchup thank you!! i think thats what I did too!
