Select left to right vs right to left was a real eye opener!
I come back to Sketchup every now and then. Every time the same mistakes is made. Sticky geometry, forget to group and/or make component. Misaligning objects. Usually I get quite far with my model and then I start over doing it right the second time. I do love Sketchup because it is easy to use but you get punished hard for doing stupid mistakes. Love you videos. This one was right on the money.
Thanks man, really great tips! Oh, the arrow keys, amazing!
Once again, you're swingin' for the fences man, and knocking it outta the park... thanks!
I just started exploring this SketchUp thing... without any background of 3d designing and other drawing tools. your tutorial really helps... appreciate your time for doing this! Thanks!
Huge thanks for these videos. I'm just using sketch up for fun but I've learned a lot from just 4 of your videos
Number 4 seems like the one I probably still do although I don't consider it a waste because there's always that thing especially in architectural representation where clients will ask for a virtual model or VR views or additional renders then the objects you put in your model become necessary. Good video!
Lol - if there's a use for them, it's not a waste or a mistake! :) - Thanks Oscar!
I was going to "S-can" this whole app. Then I ran into your Video. Your explanations, directions, and tips are spot on for someone that thought to give it a look see. Thank you for taking the time to point out important Key Strokes and aspects that even Louis and Clark (Frodo Baggins, for you younger folks) would not have found.
Doing a garden design course and learning SketchUp from you. Have you done a video on how to create a basic garden and where to find the best plants from 3D warehouse? Loving your tutorials!
Thx, I'm starting off with valuable time-saving tips.
Start to get serious learn on Sketchup for my upper-grade students! and you are my man! Thanks so much for your videos. God bless you
Thanks for the vid. I am a newbie with SketchUp and love learning a new system. I love good info tutorials and would ask for any recommended ones that are current. I have tried several older one but they truly are way out of date, and much newer one are concentrated on getting clicks and subscriptions. This one sides solid. Thanks for the pointers.
Just saved me hours of frustration! Thank you,
Really helpful tips! I learnt it hard way to use the grouping tool so as to save time and effort!!! Thanks a lot!
Another good one. Your videos consistently find the right balance of detail and efficiency. Never excessive nor incomplete. And you devote the right amount of time to each one. Great for a "working" coffee break or (as now) on a Saturday morning when the part of my household that doesn't get up before 10:00am is still asleep.
Been using SketchUp for a few months, and still didn't know about saving views. Worth a few minutes to get that tip!
Awesome - really glad you found the tips helpful!
Very helpful, Justin! You are my #1 go to for Sketchup learning, troubleshooting, and problem solving.
Awesome! Glad I've been able to help!
Hi am very new here and thank you so much for this tips, I really love it.. this will be noted because I am planning and learning more about sketch up.. and this is very useful for making a start up..
Great video ... after doing several models, it was time to view this video which addressed most of the productivity issues I originally missed.
Glad it helped! :)
Very useful/practical-oriented video!! Thanks a ton Justin...
Thanks for watching!
This is very helpful for beginners like me.
you are such a good teacher indeed (y)
Thanks very much!
OMG you really make everything so easy! I have recommended you to my friend who is also studying interior design, and we love your work. Thank you sooooo much!
Great video. Thank you. I am new to Sketchup and found myself making several of these mistakes.
Glad the video helped!
Very good info! I literally just started a day ago and I was victim to all these! Thanks to you, I am no longer!! Keep up the good work!
Glad you found it helpful!
great tips and a huge help. Thank you justin
THANK YOU! I've been trying to move a roof, and it just ended up sticking to the wall and all, now I know why! I need to group the geometry, THANK YOU!!!!
Two weeks into Sketchup, this is exactly what I needed to see, when I needed to see it.
Awesome! :)
this is very life changing. thank you so much, you are very much appreciated!
Thank you, this video is helping me a lot 👌🏻
#2 - I just learned yesterday after using SU for 5 years! Where was I when the video came out! #5 only sounds like a good idea - trust me - the moment you make it you will want to fix only one corner. Every time I get smart - I find out I wasn't.
Very nice tips to the beginners! I also had few points too. +1 for dragging mistake.
Yeah...I did too, actually :-p
Thanks for some great time saving tips!
good video keep it up bro!!!! please make a video on how to model a sunken open air theatre.
So useful for me self learning. Keep it up!
a video showing essential conceputal differences with popular cad and graphics wares would be great. also the exporting options... which are what makes this program very useful and complimentary with others..
Quick helpful tips like these lets me know what I didn't know I needed to know.
Lol - that's the goal! :)
When you import models from the warehouse or any where else, there is something I often forget, to remove the tags they come with so they do te mess with those in my model if you have it organized. (Tags are very useful, as groups and components naming are, to have your model well organized and easy to work with as it grows big)
These are the proper Sketchup essentials! Great video!
JUSTIN you're really great man. I learnt alot for your videos.
The selection tool. I never knew it has two different functions 😂 thanks a lot!
Glad you liked it!
I think that might have originated in AutoCAD back in the early 90s. It is extremely helpful in busy workspaces.
Thank you . These are really helpful.
Glad you liked them! :)
I'm coming back to say that I have now gained enough skills to make cabinets better using the offset tool. Before I manually drew each line & did not hit an arrow to lock it and I did approximate measurements instead of typing in specific ones. Now I will make the largest size rectangle & use offset to reduce for outlines of where doors start. Put a line down the middle. Offset again for individual door frames, etc. I was able to complete in just a few minutes something that took me hours before- and I have much more accurate ones that I saved as a group.
I am seriously tempted to invest in the actual course. After 3 weeks of experimentation, I still didn't know (or had forgotten) quite a bit of these tips. Nicely presented.
Glad you liked it :)
Thanks a lot, very helpful video!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you Justin. This was helpful.
Thanks for watching!
Great video! really helpful, it will saves so much time in future
👍
rare to find tutorial that doesnt drag on. clean, precise, excellent examples. perfect speech [no "ahhs"] score - 10+
very knowledgeable and well explained. thanks
Eyy Justin, you kind of saved my life during 2020, not to be overly dramatic, but seriously, man: THANKS ! I appreciate your "simplified" explanation of this SoftWare is quite inspiring. THANKS for that!
thanks! you answered a lot of my questions
Great! Glad you found it helpful!
So I (again) learn t something new today. Thanx.
Love it! Simple and fast. And I didn't use Sketchup for last 13 years!
Glad it was helpful!
video super bien explicado muchas gracias bro...
Very good and usefull tutorial for me as beginner in sketchup. Thanks
Awesome - glad you liked it!
Dude your Awesome...I have learned alot for the past 2 years
Thank you. This video is awesome, keep it up. Love from India.
Justin, thank you for this tutorial.
Out of the ten things you covered, I learned that I've been doing 2,3,5,9 & 10 wrong and driving myself NUTS!!!
You have saved me hours of frustration.
Thanks
Awesome! Glad it helped Steve!
Very helpful. Thanks
Thank you so much, very helpfull!!!
Glad it helped!
Great Video. It helped a lot. Thank you
Glad it helped!
Very, very usefull tips! Thanks, Justin! :)
Thanks very much! Glad you found them helpful!
Enxtremly helpfull. I am enjoying every lessons.
videos like this are grest! esp if u use other graphics programs ... and just need quick tips to readjust to instinctive or intuitive actions that vary from program to program.
skech up is great for just that Sketch up... fast work .. and flexibility to export to more sophisticated or specialised software.
Sir this is really helpful videos! Thank you🙏
Who would go out of their way to dislike this video?? LOL! Bless your eternal patience, man.
Hi Justin Thank you for the amazing tutorial .I have a question, how did you flip the table in order to create it symmetrical! i mean I managed to flip it but in different sizes !! thank you
Lots of videos mention groups for organizing stuff - great way to make an object that doesn't stick to surrounding geometry, can be moved around, copied etc without polluting model's "Components" storage. But this was actually the first time I saw outliner (although it wasn't even mentioned, if I'm not mistaken). I wish I knew about it earlier, because now I have a model with couple of hundreads of "flat groups", and many of them are called just "Group" :) Didn't know about left/right selection difference, too. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
such a good video i have learned many new tricks from it thank you !!!!!!
Awesome - glad it helped!
Hi there, I like your videos, they are a great source of knowledge for beginners and also for advanced users. So thanks for going to the trouble of making all of these videos. I also just want to throw in, that I do not like the scale tool for flipping objects, because it has shown over and over again that many users try to do a quick one and make scaling mistakes as a result. I do prefer, in order to make sure all stays accurate, to use the context command flip along red, green, or blue axis.
Thanks very much Olav - I think this one comes down to workflow preference - for me I have trouble picking the correct axis to flip along on the first try, so I use the scale tool. That said, if users have trouble scaling to the right value, they should probably use the flip along command instead. Thanks!
thank you very much brother this video resolve my modeling problem special the trick that you told about axis
👍😎
That was very informative.
Many thanks from Berlin Germany.
Thank you very much for your hard work.
👍
You really helped me thank you so much
Thanks, great info.
Thanks for watching!
The last tip was something I always struggle with. Thanks.
Thanks a ton for those tutorials Sir
Thanks very much for watching!
I had a problem with the first one. I built an upper cabinet & when I tried to select it to make it all a group, I missed parts, included parts of the wall, etc. Any tips on how to make sure you get the whole thing without getting wall behind it? Sketchup freezes up/crashes whenever I use the Edit option in the menu (although I haven't tried right-clicking). I wish there was a keyboard shortcut to hide things.
The arrow key to lock to axis points would have made my life so much easier when I was starting out.
How do you make sure you're moving along a particular axis? Can you click an arrow on the keyboard to make it follow that axis?
thank you so much, it works fine with me !
Thanks bro it really helped
thank you it actually works you're a king
Awesome videos dude..thankx for help..
Definitely! Glad you're enjoying them!
Thank you! Good video.
Glad you liked it!
OMG mistake number 9! I did not know this. You have saved me so much time and confusion!
I learned how to use sketchup on my own, sure wished that I had seen these videos before designing 80 cabinets for our new home. Would of saved me days of work designing instead of being in the shop constructing cabinets. You do a great job explaining how to use program.
Thanks very much - really glad you found it helpful :)
dude you are amazing ! thanks for the videos
Thanks very much! Glad you're liking them!
Awesome video. I am new to sketchup and it's been very frustrating at first learning the program but then it clicked and I finally understood how it worked. But so much yet to learn. I am not a custom cabinet builder but use custom build companys to make my cabinets.However is there a list of cabinet making company's I can download from there products and what they actually make into sketchup? I can design whatever I want in this program but it's pointless if my suppliers dont make my designed style.. Please help? ?Thanks
Very helpful! !
Very informative video!
There is also a cheese way to move or build along an axis made by the face of an object: you just hover over the point you want to reference and wait a second.
Could you tell me how you made the round edges of the table so fast?
And what do you think about Blender? Is it better for Architecture than SketchUp?
I drew an arc around the edge on the face, then used the push/pull tool to remove the extra material. I think Blender is really powerful, but also fairly complicated and has a lot steeper learning curve than SketchUp. I'm also not sure it has the ability to generate architectural plans in the same way, so it really depends on what you're trying to do...
Thanks for this tutorial
Just you putting the mistakes on the description makes me love you more.
LOL - I'm not here to hold out on you 😜👊
You always do very useful videos
Thanks very much!
10/10 😅
I'm trying to use sketch for a project now but I'm a beginner. I can't seem to put an opening on an exterior wall for my doors and windows. I'm not sure if the problem is that the wall and the windows/doors are not in the same plane. I'm usually seeing a magenta-colored axis, not RGB
VERY HELPFUL BRO..THANKS
👍
I just love your videos,thanx
Thank you!
Great tips! When I’m drawing a line of moving an object, I have been holding down the arrow keys for inference. So all I need to do is tap once? I’ve had problems with this all along... inference doesn’t stay locked.
Correct - I don't think there are really any tools in SketchUp where you hold down keys on your keyboard. Single clicks and single taps usually are the way to go...
7(kinda) and 9. With 7, while I didn't know about this, I haven't had a project where I would really need it yet either. 9 is something I never realized and I would sometimes get frustrated where it would select what I want and sometimes not, now I understand how it works!
I've just kinda been amateurishly dabbling in Sketchup for a year or two, so I have grasped many of the fundamentals, but am very far from proficient. Still, this video was helpful and interesting!
Great content!!
Thanks - glad you liked it!
thanks it really helps a lot...
excellent .. well done
Quick question please: How do you match a corner where 3 radius meet?
I have a product with 3 corners where 3 external faces meet and they have the same radius on the corners.
