Started using Sketch-Up a few months ago after 10 years out of school where I learned AutoCAD. Love your videos and always find what I need! Great instruction and demos
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. And yes, I thought you went a little fast, for me. But that's what the pause button is for. New to your channel and immediately discerned you're the best of the half-dozen other vids I've checked out. If this is lesson Essentials #30 then I look forward to catching up since your teaching is superior in contents and quality...I was joking re u going too fast - it's just right. Later I will inform you (and any other comments readers with interest) why this particular lesson using PhotoMatch is of such primary importance for my plans. 10 minutes ago I didn't even know it could be done. I'm so excited. Thanks again. --steve
Nice thanks for tutorial and pace was good. Question, what about the other side of the model? The photo shows two faces but if it is used in an interactive 3d environment say for example, Google Earth, what has to be done to render the unseen side of the barn?
Very useful. I've started applying your tips to my drone footage. 3D modelling this way is much cleaner than photogrammetry and dealing with point clouds.
TheSketchUpEssentials Hey! It's working out much better than photogrammetry. The buildings look sharper and the textures look much cleaner. My big hangup right now is that the high resolution textures are causing my Sketchup software to run really slowly. I'm also stumbling around when the object I'm trying to photo match is not on an angle and flat against the camera. I can't seem to place the perspectives properly. Otherwise, results are great at the cost of more work.
Just found your channel and subbed immediately! Need to SketchUp Free and was wondering if a photo of terrain can also be used to create a model to manipulate? Thanks for the great info!
Good speed. Very helpful. I plan to use SketchUp, PlaceMaker, OpenStreetMap, my camera, and my Mavic Pro 2 to create a sketch of 5 locations that I want to model in a proposed railroad museum. The sketches would be used for the creation of marketing materials for fund raising and for modeling when construction of the museum railroad begins. Do you know anyone that has a similar applications that I might network with? We will model the early 20th century so that some current buildings will need to be edited out of the sketch and some new buildings that did not make the OpenStreetMap for our locations will beed to be added.
So now can you point me in the right direction to watch a video on adding new windows or doors to an existing photo. Kinda of like creating an "overlay" to demonstrate remodeling ideas (e.g. new windows, new doors, adding a deck, etc)
Excellent Video! You are zooming as you adjust axis, how are you doing that? I am on a laptop and don't have any "wheel" as far as I can tell. Also at 4:41 you draw a rectangle (green) and it suddenly jumps to red, correctly oriented. How are you making it shift axis at that moment? Thanks
When you first activate the rectangle tool, if you tap the arrow keys, you can lock the tool to a certain axis - I talk about it more in this video - th-cam.com/video/tHYXGt84yGo/w-d-xo.html - Thanks!
Can you use this program to create, for example, a 3-d image of a Halloween pumpkin where you have a face on one side and either nothing on the opposite side or, for example, drawn-on hair effects or something like that?
Thanks for this! How would you add textures accurately like building the model? I'm going to be taking pictures of buildings on all sides and making models and texturing them but don't know how to add the textures yet
Hi Easton - probably what I would do is import the texture images (th-cam.com/video/PDe_sflYRf8/w-d-xo.html) then use position texture (th-cam.com/video/xUQCApQUQ7U/w-d-xo.html) to place the textures in your model where you want them. Hopefully this helped!
Hi there Justin, this is what I was looking for, great video. One question though, can I do this with the free version? When inserting an image I get two options, image and material. I don't have the "new matched photo option" could that be correct? Thanks M
Hello, My name is Samuel. I'm from Rj. How to perform with a corner house. Ex: Straight bottom and rounded front. And when I do a camera positioning can I have a view from both sides? Thank you very much in advance.
if you were to build a scale model of a historic building that no longer exists, and you have to rely on only photographs, some don't even have blue prints anymore. would this program help? does the program measure the individual lengths of the lines so i can transfer them to a live scale model? -looks very intersting.
Possibly - doing it this way doesn't give you super high precision on lengths - what it does is allows you to get proportions close and add textures, but you could draw your building, then use the scale tool to set the scale of your created model to get close - th-cam.com/video/YRC1gg4tWx8/w-d-xo.html
thanks for this, but when i select my model over the photo & click to "project texture from photo" it doesn't open the question "trim partially visible faces?" but the "overwrite existing material?"As a matter of fact how i can make the photo under my model dissapear?
I don't use this software very frequently. Can you please let me know which image editing software can work the same way as like the PhotoMatch in Sketchup?
You would probably have to follow the process on this page - help.sketchup.com/en/article/3000115 - in the section "Matching a photo to an existing model." Basically, you'd have to try to use match photo to line your photo up with the other side of your barn. Obviously it would be preferable if you had a photo from the other side of the building. Thanks for watching!
Hi SketchUp. I need an advice. I am trying to recreate an old van from the 1940s. None of the vans exists today except a some pictures and few drawings, but they are all photographed at an angle. Is it possible to draw the van from these photographs using SketchUp some how and still with correct measurements. I have tried to measure the pictures and using some mathematical equations but still alot inaccuracies. Can you or somebody help… I know some measurements like distance between the axles and height… If I compare the drawings I do have with the photos, it is obvious that they are very very inaccurate and I can´t use them...
If you're trying to model something exactly, this is not the way to do it. This is a great way to approximate shapes using proportions, but not a good way at all to create actual scaleable drawings
you should only used a native format / resolution image... it must not be cropped as the photomatch will not be able geometrically match the cropped image,, hence just downloading a file with unknown history is not a good idea, was it cropped? was it unequally scaled?...
No, it's available in the free version - can you find it in your tray? You can also accessing it by going up to the Camera menu and selecting "Match New Photo" - Thanks!
TheSketchUpEssentials it won’t allow me to. Every surface I draw over the photo has the image projected on it. In older versions the surface would come out the default white color. I can’t place an existing model in front of a photo anymore.. thanks for the help!
I guess I'm still confused - there hasn't been a huge change in photomatch functionality that I'm aware of recently - You're telling me if you draw a face, then rotate out of photomatch view, all the faces have the photo applied to them without you telling it to apply them?
Possibly at some point - I'd like to, but I just can't find the time to learn a new program, run 2 TH-cam channels, and have a full time job all at once right now :p
@@Thesketchupessentials wow thank you for replying. I modelled a glass building extension with a grey frame. It is proposed to go between two existing buildings which I imported as a photo match. For some reason the frame of the new model building has been replaced by the photo? I did not press overwrite materials?? When I move to another scene the model still has the grey original frame material but disappears in the photo match scene? Hard to explain, but hope you get the gist?
You should be able to zoom in and out as long as you don't rotate out of the view angle. As soon as you orbit, the background image will disappear. If you scroll your mouse wheel up and down does it zoom in and out?
If I scroll the mouse wheel, the image disappear. The only way I have to zoom is using the tool with "magnifying glass inside red square" with which I select the area I want to zoom in
As opposed to dimensioning of the entire building on paper and then transferring that into SketchUp? Sounds like the photo match method would be much faster even if it does take an hour and a half...
Sorry about that - I'm trying to walk the line between fast enough that experienced users will follow along, but slow enough that beginners can follow along. You may want to slow the videos down by clicking the little gear icon and adjusting the speed down to .75. My understanding is that this slows the videos down without affecting the audio too much...

awesome way to model existing houses, which I find I have to do often. thanks for sharing
Love it! Never realized this was an option, and it appears easier to do this than in Photoshop.
Your videos are great. And the pace is just right. Learning a lot from you.Keep up the good work!
Glad they're helping! Thanks!

@@Thesketchupessentials Your reply to this comment solved my problem. Plz reply also the second question in the comment.
I find this program amazing, i use Adobe Illustrator and i think this program can do more and a lot cheaper!
Great! I'll try it for my bathroom sink model.
😎
Great quick tutorial
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
Very interesting tutorial!
Can you use this program to create, for example, a 3-d image of a Halloween pumpkin where you have a face on one side and either nothing on the opposite side or, for example,

I would assume that you can use the scale function at some point to dimension the model to the proper size. Thanks for your efforts
Yep - absolutely correct. Thanks Paul!
I am very happy with this tutorial. Many thanks

that feature is dark genius!!
Lol - it's a good one
Great pace, really useful content.

Cool
I would like to know that is the scale set already and if not then how to set it before starting the modelling process over the image.
Your videos are great!!! Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Brilliant,thankyou.
Video is awesome. Very helpful. Thank you.
Awesome - glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks

Which version of the Sketchup software is being used here?
I don't use this software very frequently. Can you please let me know which image editing software can work the same way as like the PhotoMatch in Sketchup?
Sorry - as you can imagine, as a SketchUp channel, I'm not as familiar with other software's capabilities. Maybe photoshop would do what you want?
That was excellent!
Amazing tutorial!
Thank you!
8:40 how did you make the picture disappear?
This is brilliant! Thank you
Glad it helped!
Is it possible to do photo matching in chromebook?
How can you transpose the material to the other side of the barn and the back ?

what does the other side of the barn look like
That was COOL .
Thanks Brian!
If the original picture of the building has signs with letters would that copy on as a texture? If that makes any sense
Anything in the image you're using should
nice

How do i change the material of the model to something other than the projected photo, like the older versions of sketchup used to do?
Apply a different material to the faces with the paint bucket tool
TheSketchUpEssentials it won’t allow me to. Every surface I draw over the photo has the image projected on it. In older versions the surface would come out the default white color. I can’t place an existing model in front of a photo anymore.. thanks for the help!

Anyway to do this in the app?
I don't believe so - I didn't go looking for it, but I don't remember seeing it
i had a problem with blue grid that cant straight how to solve this? when i drag lane on the top its look like a pyramid
i cant adjust the blue point
will you ever use blender?
Possibly at some point - I'd like to, but I just can't find the time to learn a new program, run 2 TH-cam channels, and have a full time job all at once right now :p
@@Thesketchupessentials wow, busy man! I sketchup seemed pretty simple.
really smart .my eyeball can''t catch ur presentation. didnt clear which icon clicked
I don't want the photo on my model as the building is new. How do I stop this?
What do you mean? Just don't apply the photo as a texture, and rotate out of the match photo view and the photo shouldn't show up anymore

isnt photo match gone now?
No - still there
Do you have a video that explains how to render/bake and then export models for use? Even if its just ambien occlusion.
This is not fast, I took 1and half hours
Maybe the first time - it gets faster with practice
As opposed to dimensioning of the entire building on paper and then transferring that into SketchUp? Sounds like the photo match method would be much faster even if it does take an hour and a half...
