You can also enter c for circle, then enter the number is sides you want followed by the enter key, followed by the radius you want, and then the enter key again. I'll have to try this way too!
I am a retired machinist ( 45 years ) and I used MastCam to program my machine tools. I am now trying Sketchup for my woodworking. Thanks for you hacks. The Old Guy.
to add to your hack, if you are into hot keys, and who isn't?: hit the c for circle key, then look at the little number window down at the bottom right and just enter the number of segments you want. I'm just at that point in the video, didn't read any comments on it, so maybe it's there already. Great lighthearted, funny and useful videos, keep up the good work!
I might wanna add some (for me) mind blowing feature of sketchup. 1. You could array by dividing it by type / 2. You could scaling your object to exact length by type its units, (5m, 50cm, 500mm)
i just found out about this channel,thanks kuya,napakalaking tulong nyo po,aspiring architect po ako,16 year old,nag dedecide pa po ako kung mag engineer or architect and your videos are helping me
Or u can just press Z and type directly the number for field of view rather than resizing and making viewport smaller in size. And if using vray u can adjust the resolution aspect ratio in the settings.. better and easy way
That's a handy addition, thanks. I'm using Brighter 3D and same applies, however, if you haven't got a renderer and are in free Make and wish to see a 16:9 screen ratio (just for modelling prior to rendering) his solution begins to help but is guess work, so how to solve that? Cheers.
I actually had an architectural project open in Sketchup when I stumbled on this video... Was pausing the vid and trying out the hacks. When I came to hack #5 and tried it (and it worked)My expression can only be described as.... Well, I looked like a cartoon character who just discovered a pot of gold. This makes drawing stud walls a WHOLE lot easier. Great video. Thank you!!!
Just finished my first big model of a building with many structural supports on the outside. The array tip would have saved me at least 3 hours of hand drawing all these supports. Now i know it for future projects!
Nice tips, thanks! I know we're on a whole different version now but all your tips still work, and here's a couple head-smackers probably useful for less advanced users; 1- you can place point 1 of your circle and then use ctrl +/- to change the number of segments in the edge before placing point 2. Good for potato computers so it does all the calculations before making the circle a "real" object, filling it in, etc. 2- "Number of segments" is a value you can also change for arcs, which is super useful if you use the "follow me" tool a lot. Turn that segment count up before using "follow me," no more blocky circular archways! Or, turn it down and make much blockier ones. 3- (total beginner tip) holding scroll wheel click will engage the orbit tool till you let go, duh, but you can hold shift to pan while doing this. Also allows you to move the camera in the middle of placing, drawing, or moving an object, instead of cancelling placement to switch tools to move the camera. Super useful for drawing either very small or very large objects. 4- down arrow will cycle constraints (parallel/perpendicular) relative to the edge you're drawing from, rather than to the world axes. Helpful for when the camera can only get to weird angles on objects that need to be square, but aren't necessarily square within the world.
For arrays, you can also go the divide route: For linear array type total length>Enter, then type /x where x is number of copies>Enter. For polar array type the angle to be filled (e.g. 360)>Enter, then type /x (where x is number of copies to fill that angle) >Enter.
thanks Llyan for the tips. 1) Save when your camera is facing a blank screen 2) Section within a section (Group an object include 2 section cuts within the group) 3) Circle Sides (Go to Entity Info to change number of Sides) 4) Wider Field of View (by changing the size of the Sketchup Window) 5) Array Hack (press 5x or x5 after the array copy has been done) 6) Arrow Key Lock ( Lock the axes by pressing on the left if the green axis is to the right of your camera, up is blue, right is red) I did not know about tips 1, 2, 4 and 6. actually for point 3 there is also another way to do it you can just press 48s and enter or 6s. it will change the number of sides. for point 5 you can also use array by divide. make your copy at 240 degrees then press /6. Thank you. Please continue to make good videos like this.
I used sketch up for more than 4 yrs and i knew already the hacks that you mention. I subscribe bcoz i like the sense of humor. By the way Good Job for simple explanation 👍👍👍it will help a lot for beginners. 😁😁
Gecko Boy you really just have to know the basics in drawing. Like how to hold a pencil. (Jk). In my experience, I wasn't really interested in architecture but my parents thought it was coherent with my love of drawing anime. You really learn everything in architecture school. Kinda like a step by step process. But to improve, you really have to help yourself by practicing. Practicing what? Maybe by drawing straight lines. I learned design conceptualization in arch. school. I had no idea at all when I started. Now I am in fourth year and everytime I look back, I am really shocked with the improvement. I was also trained to not sleep in highschool (I play games) so maybe that helped? Hahaha
In my opinion, having drawing skills is an advantage for taking architecture since you know how to control the weight of the lines and all and also there is such plates where you should draw a building. But if you are really passionate you can always learn to draw its not too late to start just like me hahahaha.
I watched this video in 2019 because I was searching for sketchup tips. I didn't expect this guy would be a famous youtuber in the philippines. I'm just surprised that the video I randomly watched was Ar. Austria.
Additional tips: Feild of view: Hold shift while using the zoom tool to change the FOV setting Arrays: Use a ' * ' to array the obects outward OR use the ' / ' symbol to array the objects evenly between the initial and copied objects. Circles: After activating the circle tool, before begining to draw, you can enter the number of sides for your circle. It's good for repeatability.
Hi po kuya lagi po kitang pinapanood kasi nag paplano po ako na ganitong course ang kunin ko pag 1st year college ko po☺ thankyou po sa mga tips☺ more more tips pa po hehe charing . Taga baguio din po ako hehe
I've been binge watching your videos for a few days. Making me regret I gave up on Architecture on my first year due to financial reason. That was 8 years ago. Now I'm just teaching myself SketchUp for fun.
Thanks again for these tips! But can you make a video tutorial on how to use lumion (step by step). I know I'm not the only one who's having a hard time using it.
Patricia Jebulan I had a hardtime using it too. I really hate using it. It feels like my laptop's going to erupt anytime hahaha. I stick with vray most of the times hahaha. Llyan seems to be using vray most of the time too. But maybe hahaha. A lumion tutorial would be nice.
Sir, thanks for sharing. Share ka naman ng video on how a beginner can get up to speed sa SketchUp. Yung may emphasis sa using ng templates and stencils po. Thanks in advance.
Seriously keep it up! I'used Sketch Up the first time with 14 I'am now studying urban planning. My early trained cad skills are now very useful and not limited to SU.
For Wide Angle you can also type in "Z" for zoom and enter/type in the value you want for the Field of View, but I'm not sure if that's what you're going for :D

It should be more people like you in this world.. totally suscribed
This guy friign hilarious !!! Subbed PS to change field of view, just select the magnifying glass hold shift and click n drag! But yes, as for aspect ratio, its a great trick :DD Also don't forget you can not only array by typing x5 x whatever, but you can also divide amount of object between a point by typing /4 /8 / whatever number you want between 2 points! It helps when you want to work relatively symmetrically!!! :DDDDD
Wow, i'm a Sketch up user more than 10 years, and i just saw this Hack, its really sucks to know there is the hack for this specially the last one. Many Thanks for this hack
A couple years too late, but when you draw a circle or arc after you create it, just type 48s and you will have 48 segments, that "preset" will save for the next circle or arc you make. Sometimes there are too many sides for the arc you are trying to create so SketchUp will throw up an error and you will need to make them less by drawing an arc off to the side that is almost a full circle and enter a lesser number of sides.
thanks for this vid im not an architect but actually its my first day... self study about sketchup i just want to make my own floor plans for my house.... making my time fruitful while working at home...
In hack 3 after you make a circle you can type 50s for 50 segments instead of going in Entity Info.
Very good video again!
Greetings from Bulgaria :)

I can't stress enough how great that double section tip is, helped me out SO much with my Portfolio
And if u type 5/ instead of 5x , it makes 5 equidistant copies in-between the original and copied one.
Woah!! I did not know this haha!!:) Looks like i could make a part 2 of this video with all the new hacks people are commenting. thank you pal!:)
and u can also type in *5, not really useful, but that's what I do lol
@@LlyanAustria you can also change the space between the copys by typing in the number. Try Move, 1000 enter, x5 enter, 2000 enter.
