Hi Alex. I'm from Greece and I'm learning sketchup now. I have a problem with Vray with materials. I right clicked and closed them and now I can't find them anywhere. You can help me;
Hello, is it possible to print with the background picture in it? I would like to have the background picture and the part that i have done in the same print.
WOW! I almost feel like this program is easier to use than what I thought, Thank you! I'm not sure if to buy this program or Autocad. From my research they are very similar. What do you suggest?
The structure of this tutorial is incredibly good! I wish everyone would do tutorials structured like this one about anything really. This is not only a SketchUp masterclass it's also a "how to make a tutorial" masterclass. I did learn all I need to know, thank you!
I am a revit user and I've been trying to find beginner tutorials for sketchup, and I must say I've struck gold with this video. Absolutely incredible how you explained everything so clearly and even made it fun. Love it!
Group early and often. This piece of advice has completely changed my life. lol. I have been testing SketchUp for awhile by just exploring the tools. I have looked at a few other videos along the way but your video by far helped me change the way I need to approach the software. Kudos for hitting the important points. Just an excellent teaching video all the way the way around. Succinct, clearly spoken and fun. Thank you for doing this video!
zero experience with Sketup, this video get me started in only few minutes, from sketch to 3D model.. amazing guide. 👍🏻 the kind of crash course intro we need.
Thank you! I must say that the speed and the detail level you gave in this tutorial were spot on! Very clean and clear. I will definitely be looking at your other videos! I really appreciate your time and effort to put this out for us - happy I found your channel!
wow...He is such a nice teacher i have ever seen on youtube... i recommend everyone to follow him if you want to learn sketchup as fast and easy as possible.
First time user of SketchUp and I have found these videos extremely useful. I'm only using simple shapes to try and draw a diagram of my living room and some storage units I want to build. By using SketchUp I have been able to draw an exact replica of my living room and a diagram of the storage I am building as a novice DIYer this has really helped me articulate to the timber merchants what I'm doing in order to get the right materials I need for the job. So thank you Alex and the team sketchup school
You're very welcome! (Alex here): I can't tell you enough how much it means to me and our team that you are able to use our lessons to design and create in the real world. We're thrilled we could help in a small way and are happy to have you here as a part of the SketchUp School family!
Wow - great tutorial, thank you! You have a deft touch of delivering at the right pace and explaining just the perfect amount to make things very understandable. I was able to follow right along and make the model of the barn I needed IN THE FIRST TRY, without EVER having used SketchUp before! Absolutely NO WAY I could have done that w/o your tutorial here. Again, THANK YOU!
Great video! I have been using SketchUp Free for a while now, mostly for woodworking projects, but I did learn some new skills. the most helpful tip is getting the angles for the roof.
You are an amazing teacher! thank you SO MUCH, you obviously have taught many neophytes how to do this and solved problems along the way, so you have predicted/prevented so many issues! Two things I had to look up elsewhere that you might want to cover (I viewed only your "Get Started with SketchUp" and this video) were: 1. To have the "group objects" option come up, you have to select objects by drawing a rectangle around all the objects, you can't select them by clicking on them; if you do, then right click, the "group objects" option does not appear. 2. to use the push-pull tool for an object in the direction you want to, you have to click on the FACE of the object you want to move. I wanted to move a wall in to make a room narrower and I kept clicking on the wall in floorplan view (so, unbeknownst to me selected the face of the wall thickness) and all the push-pull would do is make the wall taller or shorter. Thank you so much for making this so valuable in such a short amount of time!
The best pedagogy around! Thank you so much! You save my day! I wasted hours using exotic online equivalent, a real pain in the arse with issues of alignment and angles settings. I don't want to name them. I'm glad that I eventually found the RIGHT tutorial for beginners. Thank you! I'm going to watch other tutos of yours as well.
You're an absolutely phenomenal teacher!!! I haven't come across this level of perfection until now! You demystified the whole process and now I'm going to bake a house!!!! Unbelievable 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 new subscriber 😍
As a daily Revit user, I tried using SketchUp back in 2010/11 and found it so frustrating I quit using it. Now 12 years later I thought I'd give it a second chance, and came across this video. You're a great teacher, so this is no reflection of your teaching ability, but I am so glad I don't use SketchUp and am definitely not going to give it that second chance now. Oh my goodness, this is so painful to watch someone have to go through 5-10 steps to do something that takes 1 step and 5 seconds in Revit. I get that they are two totally different programs and that Revit is literally for architecture while Sketchup is more of a jack-of-all-trades software similar to AutoCAD, but I will never understand why people subject themselves to the torture of using SketchUp for home design. Again, you really are a good teacher and I really did want to give SketchUp a second chance. But there is just no way now. I would abandon my career if I had to use this program.
4:16 something to mention here is that the bottom left corner gives a guide on what to do with the selected tool, and any options you many need to choose. Several of the tools give you multiple options, and it is a very helpful reference for remembering the hotkeys. an example would be when placing circles it gives the option for inscribed, circumscribed, and changing the number of segments. this can be helpful for drawing polygons without changing tools. 19:27 you can also use the arrow keys to lock the rotate tool, or any of the drawing tools to a specific axis. I find it really helpful with rotate, as the tool tends to jump around, and it means I don't have to change my view.
Thnakyou so much! it was really easy to learn sketchup thanks to you. the free models are an absolute life saver too. give your future self a highfive for me!
I rarely comment on TH-cam, but I have to say that I have never seen such a perfect tutorial. The speed was on point, everything was clear, clean and easy. Anything I started wondering about - you talked about it the next moment. And the fun accents were also great! Really loved everything about this tutorial, I learned more in these 30 minutes than on any other channels. Thank you!!
11:00 Couldn't figure out why the door wouldnt punch in/out. Then realized that the wall needs to be selected thru double click till a dotted outline shows up. Worked like a charm after that.
Very good tutorial. I have been modeling with sketchUp since long time ago and I learned how to use mulitple copies in a new way and also bit better way of making tutorials.
Don't get fooled, these are not tutorials but the videos Google used to create Sketchup :D Jokes aside, Alex's tutorials are brilliant and easy to follow as they make logical sense! A piece of advise to anyone who's never worked with a similar piece of software in the past and this is their first to actually try and stay one step behind the the video
such a great tutorial. i need to learn 3d to help my concept art portfolio. learning how to make a how in sketch should really be beneficial to speed up lineart creation with proper perspective. life savior! what are some other good tutorials that i can use to make a vehicle?

I have found this tutorial to be the best one I have viewed to date. So easy to follow and makes total sense!
Really happy to hear that you enjoyed this tutorial!
Thank you, very useful. I learned about the "recopy" (forward slash) and how textures work. Also, that V-Ray rendering is impressive.

It is pretty painful how many steps you have to go through if you've been used to a dedicated 3D Cad package.
13:20 so far so good. simple and straightforward.
Glad you found the video easy to follow!
