Great video; thank you! Below are the reference notes I took from the video in case it's helpful for anyone else. Keyboard shortcuts are shown in parenthesis, e.g. Rectangle tool (R). Also filled in a couple missing steps (e.g. how to start editing a component after it's been created; how to duplicate an object when moving it). === SETUP View : Tool Palettes : ✓ Large Tool Set === CAMERA CONTROLS * Zoom in/out by scrolling up/down * Orbit (O) tool. * Pan - May be able to click mouse wheel button; didn't work on my Mac, but this did: with the Orbit tool chosen, hold Command + Shift and click (a little hands will appear). Click and drag to pan. === IDENTIFIERS Blue - vertical axis Red/Green - horizontal axis Green = Midpoint Red = Edge === BASIC CUBE/SHAPES Draw a rectangle, it'll be on the horizontal axis Use the push/pull (P) tool to grow it along the vertical axis creating a cube Divide/create new shapes from existing shapes Ex: Add a line to a box === FRONT vs. BACK FACES White face = front face - for outside or front of objects To flip a face to a front face (e.g a new rectangle), select it, right click it, choose `Reverse Faces` === ROUNDED EDGE Create rounded edge on cube using the `2 Point Arc` tool to create an arc on one of the faces. Then use Push tool (P) to push the arc. Goto View : ✓ Hidden Geometry and note how it's a bunch of faces You can push/pull each individual face (could be used to create a gear) === CIRCLE Click once for the center; drag out radius. Enter a number to increase increase of sides to make smoother circles. === RECTANGLE OF SPECIFIC SIZE Choose the Rectangle tool (R). Click once. Type in, for example, 6',6' for a 6 foot by 6 foot square and hit enter. === CLICKING * Single click will select a surface or a line * Double click will select an entire surface and all of the lines it's connected to * Triple click will select an entire model and everything it's connected to === INFERENCING Every line you draw is "inferenced" Example: To draw two parallel lines... Draw the first line on a face. Start the second line line; hover first line; it will now infer the angle of your second line from this first line. The second line will turn pink when it's matching the same angle as the first line (e.g. it's parallel) === ROTATING Select the object you wish to rotate and choose the rotate tool (Q; imagine the tail of the q as the handle to rotate) Wherever you click the compass of the rotate tool will be the reference point of the rotation; e.g., it will rotate around that point. After you click to set the reference point, drag to align to the axis you want to align to (e.g. green) and click to set the axis, then start rotating. === MOVE OBJECTS Use Move tool (M) Hold down option while using the Move tool and it'll copy objects. === SCALE OBJECTS Use Scale tool (S) === GROUPING AND MAKING COMPONENTS Highlight object Goto Edit : Make Component (G) Now make a copy of that component - Hold down option while using the Move tool (M) Note how if you try to edit the component - for example, push/pull a face, it won't let you. You have to first open the component for editing by double clicking it. Once in edit mode, you can make changes to it. Note how those changes are mirrored in the duplicate component. To turn off this mirroring on one of the components, right click it and choose `Make Unique` === ERASING Erase tool (E) Click or drag over a line to erase it === TAPE MEASURE (i.e. Guides) Tape measure tool (T) Get rid of guide with Erase tool or Edit : Delete Guides === PAINT SURFACES Paint bucket tool (B; think "B" for Bucket) Can choose color or textures Click a surface to apply the chosen color/texture With a given texture, look for "Edit" to change its dimensions, opacity, etc.
@@rozhdiar5441 No problem! As an actual lecturer at a college, I have to say that writing up notes like these is one of the best things you can do for yourself during the learning process. :-)
Wonderful! This is the difference when you buy course and see 8 hour-long lessons about moving objects around with arrow keys in the "Essentials" part. Here you just gave the essentials about how to move and create stuff in very short yet understandable way and kept lazy turtle like me motivated to go further. Thank you so much!
Thanks for that Lesson about the basics. For a french beginner your english is less difficult to understand so i can progress. You explain all that is necessary to start not too fast. Good ! That lesson is a fun start so no stress now .Thanks again
@Croz 1007 - TH-cam won't let me reply to your comment for some reason. There is an extension for cut lists you could look into for the free version. For the plans though, as far as I'm aware, you will need the pro version.
Excellent intro! I've plowed through more TH-cam sketchup videos than you can imagine, and I think yours is the best so far. You impart more useful knowledge per minute than any heretofor. Your video seems applicable to the latest version of Sketchup, so you might consider re-issuing it with a newer date. I was avoiding "old" videos in the belief that they might not apply to the 2017 version.
This video is fast paced, but wonderful. Just the basic functions explained simple and easy. I found it very mind-blowing just how easy-to-use Sketchup is! Thank you a lot for this tutorial.
I was frustrated before i saw this introduction tutorial and after i finished it I feel like i am learning something.... Thank you so much for your time. will see other tutorials too
By coincidence I only now discovered your channel. I straight went to these Sketchup lessons. This first one, the basics, is awesome. Thanks for sharing. But now I do not know which part to take as the second lesson. I'd like to learn how to draw simple furniture in sketchup. I think I'll choose "making detailed objects".
My bad. In order to duplicate something make sure you select the Move tool, highlight the object you want to copy, press and hold Control and then drag.
Hi Aaron, Im totally new, I like the way explain very simply. Im trying to create a 2d floorplan in layout 2021, according to my specifications, the scale is 1:50, and I have the measurments in mm, but when I try to type them in, it doesnt work or the page I use is too small or something, Im really frustrated. Pleas help. Thanks!
Hello Aaron, I am a newbie for sketchup, would let me know what kind of program or extensions that i should download. Where i can download it? Thanks you
I've downloaded the free version of Sketchup 8 and the select using a drag a box function does not work. Is this attribute supposed to be functional with this version, if so how can I set it?
This video is going in my favorites for the long haul as a perfect point of reference to using SketchUp. I would like to start using this more and more for planning out my woodworking projects. Can the free version generate plans and cut lists or is that a pro version feature? Just wondering if you know.
If anyone is using a wacom tablet and wondering how to zoom, pan and rotate, just go on your wacom properties and set up the two pen buttons to pan/scroll and middle click. Then set one of the express keys to right click and that's it. Pan around by holding shift + pan scroll button without touching the surface of the tablet. Rotate using the same button combo but without holding shift and zoom in & out with the middle click button.
My main profession is an architect and I do hate 3d softwares since I was in college 2006/11 i do love sketching instead but this session was a good one indeed. 👍 Guess what I still hate 3d softwares anyway 😬

That is probably the most constructive (sorry) 15 minutes I've ever seen on TH-cam. thanks.
Great video; thank you!
Below are the reference notes I took from the video in case it's helpful for anyone else.
Keyboard shortcuts are shown in parenthesis, e.g. Rectangle tool (R).
Also filled in a couple missing steps (e.g. how to start editing a component after it's been created; how to duplicate an object when moving it).
=== SETUP
View : Tool Palettes : ✓ Large Tool Set
=== CAMERA CONTROLS
* Zoom in/out by scrolling up/down
* Orbit (O) tool.
* Pan - May be able to click mouse wheel button; didn't work on my Mac, but this did: with the Orbit tool chosen, hold Command + Shift and click (a little hands will appear). Click and drag to pan.
=== IDENTIFIERS
Blue - vertical axis
Red/Green - horizontal axis
Green = Midpoint
Red = Edge
=== BASIC CUBE/SHAPES
Draw a rectangle, it'll be on the horizontal axis
Use the push/pull (P) tool to grow it along the vertical axis creating a cube
Divide/create new shapes from existing shapes
Ex: Add a line to a box
=== FRONT vs. BACK FACES
White face = front face - for outside or front of objects
To flip a face to a front face (e.g a new rectangle), select it, right click it, choose `Reverse Faces`
=== ROUNDED EDGE
Create rounded edge on cube using the `2 Point Arc` tool to create an arc on one of the faces. Then use Push tool (P) to push the arc.
Goto View : ✓ Hidden Geometry and note how it's a bunch of faces
You can push/pull each individual face (could be used to create a gear)
=== CIRCLE
Click once for the center; drag out radius.
Enter a number to increase increase of sides to make smoother circles.
=== RECTANGLE OF SPECIFIC SIZE
Choose the Rectangle tool (R).
Click once.
Type in, for example, 6',6' for a 6 foot by 6 foot square and hit enter.
=== CLICKING
* Single click will select a surface or a line
* Double click will select an entire surface and all of the lines it's connected to
* Triple click will select an entire model and everything it's connected to
=== INFERENCING
Every line you draw is "inferenced"
Example: To draw two parallel lines...
Draw the first line on a face.
Start the second line line; hover first line; it will now infer the angle of your second line from this first line.
The second line will turn pink when it's matching the same angle as the first line (e.g. it's parallel)
=== ROTATING
Select the object you wish to rotate and choose the rotate tool (Q; imagine the tail of the q as the handle to rotate)
Wherever you click the compass of the rotate tool will be the reference point of the rotation; e.g., it will rotate around that point.
After you click to set the reference point, drag to align to the axis you want to align to (e.g. green) and click to set the axis, then start rotating.
=== MOVE OBJECTS
Use Move tool (M)
Hold down option while using the Move tool and it'll copy objects.
=== SCALE OBJECTS
Use Scale tool (S)
=== GROUPING AND MAKING COMPONENTS
Highlight object
Goto Edit : Make Component (G)
Now make a copy of that component - Hold down option while using the Move tool (M)
Note how if you try to edit the component - for example, push/pull a face, it won't let you. You have to first open the component for editing by double clicking it.
Once in edit mode, you can make changes to it. Note how those changes are mirrored in the duplicate component.
To turn off this mirroring on one of the components, right click it and choose `Make Unique`
=== ERASING
Erase tool (E)
Click or drag over a line to erase it
=== TAPE MEASURE (i.e. Guides)
Tape measure tool (T)
Get rid of guide with Erase tool or Edit : Delete Guides
=== PAINT SURFACES
Paint bucket tool (B; think "B" for Bucket)
Can choose color or textures
Click a surface to apply the chosen color/texture
With a given texture, look for "Edit" to change its dimensions, opacity, etc.
I wish you were my lecturer in Uni, thanks for spending your time in writing this
@@rozhdiar5441 No problem! As an actual lecturer at a college, I have to say that writing up notes like these is one of the best things you can do for yourself during the learning process. :-)
You are right, i used to make my own handouts back then at college and every one was asking for them.
This is really nice and helpful. I only wish you had included the timestamps for each topic. But, great job!
One of the most efficient yet quick tutorials I've seen so far.
Wonderful! This is the difference when you buy course and see 8 hour-long lessons about moving objects around with arrow keys in the "Essentials" part. Here you just gave the essentials about how to move and create stuff in very short yet understandable way and kept lazy turtle like me motivated to go further. Thank you so much!
You are in the right job, the most effective tutorial, please don't stop and thank you
I've watched several 'basic' sketchup tutorials on TH-cam. This video is my favorite by far. "subscribed"

i love how my teachers are too lazy to explain shit so they send me here
+morris grbic When we learned SketchUp in college, I ended up teaching a bunch of my classmates myself.
Aaron Bishop Your tutorial was great :D i got a b for the project. I really hope my teachers step up their game or hire some people like you.
Yeah lazy bitches wont teach us
teachers are generally there to answer basic questions. if you ask the right questions, you can learn.
asking teachers obscure questions in front on the class puts them on the spot. and you might make
them into an adversary.
if you want to fail, then definitely make the teacher look stupid. but writing down
your obscure questions and approaching your teacher after class or during office hours is the best way
to learn.
this way it lets them know that your trying learn AND not trying to be a smart ass. plus if you put forth the
effort, when it comes time to be grading, if you demonstrated to the teacher that you want to learn and
make a simple mistake on a test, THEY will almost always give you the benefit of the doubt and give you the point.
just saying... ive been the smart ass route and it gets you no where. wanting to learn get you everywhere.
Same here
who else came here cause their teachers told them to?
im korean
This is definitely not a beginner video. You speed through tools. Nice video but not beginner
