I'm a 71 year old grandma of 5 who has been using Fusion 360 for the last year for free for 3D printing and have got on really well for the simple projects I have done. However, being a law abiding citizen, I would feel guilty if I used a different name etc to sign up for another free year and I certainly can't afford a paid subscription. So I've been looking for another free software package to produce 3d models for 3D printing. This is the first tutorial I have come across which has simple, easy to understand instructions. I have learnt more in this tutorial than in all the others I've looked at. Thank you so much. I'll keep viewing.
to create simple structures, a better solution than "Sketchup" is 3D. "Design Spark Mechanical" is an even better program than "Fusion 360" and it is a free program.
Good job young man. Although I was a designer 1972-1988 I never learned AutoCAD, Today at 80 I'm just having fun with simple designs that are easily done with SketchUp. Thanks Again.
I've been playing around with SU for a while and getting nowhere. Your super clear explanation of the basics has me doing way more than before in a much shorter time. Thank you!
I've been trying to build a basic solid room in Blender for two days now. I learned how to do this in free sketchup simultaneously in another screen in real time before this 22 min video ended. Thank you so much! This gives me hope. lol
Hi Justin! I just wanted to drop a line to let you know that I appreciate your tutorials. In just this first video, I'm already feeling more confident with the software so far. I'm gearing up for a number of DIY projects so Sketchup will be a tremendous aid in helping me to master the design process. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise with us. Definitely looking forward to supporting your content and learning more. Much success to you!
I've had sketch or my computer for 6 years. Messed with it every once in a while with little success. After watching your series I was able to produce a 3D model of a flat bed truck body. Took some time but you got me out of the weeds. Thank you very much for putting the time into this.
I just found this software. I've challenged myself to create ONE thing on my 3d printer rather than just pull stuff others created. I was fumbling hard with getting it to do anything. Watching this one video and I can suddenly create an object. Not printing just yet. I have a box with beveled edges and holes in it. But frankly I couldn't be happier. I can see where this is going. GREAT video, patient instructor. Good stuff, brother.
Coming from a Maya background, a lot of this was known to me but I appreciate your pacing and explanations of the inference snapping. Very helpful video for new 3D artists
I have tried to figure out SU Free several times, each time giving up in considerable frustration. This has really helped. Looking forward to the next one.
i did sketch -up back when i was studying my building design diploma. forgot how to use it for a while, your tutorial really woke me up again. thank you. now i can start working again
Thanks so much for this - just downloaded as I want to model a house we're going to build, and had no idea where to start. The tutorial is clear and concise, easy to follow and very interesting. Going to watch lesson 2 on drawing a basic house right now!
@@danielmontoya4636 Hello Daniel, If you're still working on this, I can help. I design house plans in SoftPlan. I can handle all aspects of your design process including lot grade, site plan, 3D elevations, etc... Let me know if I can be of assistance.
I learned how to use SketchUp 2 years ago thanks to your tutorials and I made few good projects. But, then I stopped drawing for a while and now here we go watching your incredible and easy to understand tutorial again. Lol
Nice video! I came here specifically because 9:29 I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t able to type dimensions. This one aspect made me so mad I decided to take a step back, stop “teaching myself,” and learn some basics of the program before continuing. And I’m glad I found your video! I had just watched another “Sketchup for beginners” tutorial and it was not at all for beginners. It had some useful info, but it’s the little things that they took for granted: menu navigation, basic tools and how to access them, etc. I felt like I wasn’t going to learn this program after that video. Thankfully I found yours and you added context to several things I’d already learned but didn’t know the reasons for. That’s a huge help. Thank you!
Thank you for making a really descriptive, simple and very clear Tutorial. This is my first time using Sketch up and I can do the basic drawing with your video. Keep inspiring! you are good.
thank you so much. I was sick for a school lesson once where we got introduced to sketch up and now i no how to use it i am in a better position to finish my assignment!!! tytytyty xoxoxo
Excellent! Get two monitors, put this video on one, and Sketchup on the other and slowly go through the video while you mimic in Sketchup what he is saying. He goes slow enough to allow you to catch what he is teaching. His instructions are very very clear.
This is by far the most helpful sketchup tutorial I've found. If I have a model I've imported from the warehouse, how do I select the entire model and scale it down to shrink it?
I've been using the time limited version of SketchUp for a few weeks, and just tried getting to grips with the online version for when the 40 days expires. An interesting feature in the online version is automatically making model Revisions at every save point. Shame this is missing in the desktop version. Though a bit of a nuisance not being able to directly save on a local drive.
Thank you for this video. I've been trying to follow how to use Sketch Up off and on for the past several years. I learned how to use drafting software back in the days of Windows 98 and 2000 while in High School. I was pretty proficient and helped draft up several farm buildings. The modern software is so overwhelming and frankly too expensive for the limited use I need today. I just want to build some furniture items and put together cut sheets like so many TH-camrs seem to be doing today. Your tutorial was to the current version and that is very helpful, too many of them are back from when SketchUp was a standalone company or when it was operated by Google. Now that Trimble owns the rights, it is even more different. I kinda wish I could afford the installation version, as the browser version is a little finicky. But, it is worth it to try out.
Thanks very much. Just downloaded Sketchup free to have a go at some ideas for remodelling the garden. At age 78 its easier to move plants about the garden with the click of a mouse for my wife to see!
Justin! Good job! 5 stars for being a good teacher. Tip I just realized for anyone new: using "Sketchup For Web"`... The PC control(s) to scale the tool menus (with all your tools) is same as zooming any web page, which is control+mouse-wheel.. this tip took me over an hour to figure out, because I trusted the official website to help me. (bad move). The official "Sketchup For Web" help tutorial says start here: if you want "Sketchup For Web" tips.. and a few words later ... begins using hotkeys for "Sketchup Pro" which dont exist in "Sketchup For Web". Funny, right? So I was going in circles until I found this video with Justin!...
That's it, finally! Thank you so so so much, I found this video and your channel and helped a lot to not pulling all of my hair out whilst practicing with my Sketchup Design Project 👍🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so so much! I needed this type of tutorial to start with this program! I had seen others before but they didn't take enough time to show what the basic features did and I gave up trying to do anything. This was so clear and loved the fact that I could do everything while you were explaining! Awesome video ❤!
I have 0 experience with 3D modeling & sketch-up. Your tutorial is clear & easy to understand. I'm about to watch your next video on how to model a house. Thank you!
I watched this tutorial first to see if I even wanted to try Sketchup. Your explanation was really clear and it helped me decide to give it a try. Thank you for your efforts.
I got a good feel for the basic concepts and techniques used by sketchup. I get the navigation and tool selection as well. Your video is very comfortably paced and easily understood. I look forward to the next lesson.
This has helped massively in getting me started, 1 question that might be ahead of the tutorials but i want to know this is going to work before investing too much time and then having to stop. I fabricate a lot of things from box section steel, can i have layers so i can see the front back etc separately and then create cutting list from the design? Also applies to woodworking, i want to design and make a custom racking system for my garage, can i make a cut sheet from the design. Thanks
Dude you made me feel like I was a 5th grader being walked through this course i really love this work, Simple no b********* straight to the point keep them coming
Ive searched through two whole days worth of video before stumbling across this one! Thank you for taking the time to explain in such detail. Especially on the "enter" short cut.
I have 2 screens and i had this on 1 screen and was looking and following the turortial while listening to the video/ looking at it from time to time. I learned so much
I had watched many videos before.But that did not clear my doubts.your videos are much clear and more informative.keep teaching like this.best wishes.love from india
Love this series, wish it was updated as SketchUp Free online has changed ALOT since this video was made making it very difficult to follow along with these videos now.
Hello. Thanks for this, but mine is different from yours. There are no arrows on the tools so you can't spin out tool options. How would I get the arrows to appear on the tools? Thanks
If you have an issue with the line drawing tool, in the search option type "shortcuts" then click on reset shortcuts. Now you can hit the spacebar after you finish drawing a line. Mine was not working even though I didn't customize any shortcuts. I would have to go click on the selection icon after drawing a line, which was super annoying.
Hey! Learned to use sketchup today using your tutorials. They were great because I got pretty far but there were some things I missed. Like how to navigate trough the workspace, I had no clue the first 30 minutes. Also had to search in another video how to change dimensions as I'm from Europe. Also took me like 15 minutes to realize i was using comma's instead of points no surprise the sices were invalid :p! There is also one thing that seems buggy to me. Sometimes all of the shortcuts don't work anymore so you have to point and click. Then all of a sudden they magically work again, still a lost soul bout that one. Anyway thanks a lot this part 1 and part 2 really helped!
GOOD GOD thank you sir!. I just need to make a coffee table with one side that a few unique angles. And I actually consider myself to be fairly computer savvy, but dayuum i could not figure this out. I couldn't even figure out how to adjust the length of the lines i was drawing. Even WITH the notes at the bottom of the screen.
I might actually use this for a mock up of what I want a home to look like that I am building. My home. My first home. So thank you very much for the information and not putting me to sleep with it. :)
Thank you very much for this. I have just joined the free online version and directly after that watched this video. I have NO designing experience and want to use it for DIY personal carpentry. It is a real life saver. Looking forward to the rest. Keep it up! 👍
Dear Sir. A great video tutorial. I needed to help my grandson in using this software. The introduction offered by Trimble was not very helpful and by just checking YT I have come to your video and the problem was solved. Very easy to follow and my grandson is doing his project for year 7(First year at High School, Australia). Thank you. I have just subscribed.
