Hello. I've recently needed to learn Sketchup for work and your videos have quickly become my go to reference for all things Sketchup. I was just watching one of your videos and noticed you clicked over 500k subscribers as I was watching. CONGRTULATIONS!
There is no need to explode the image before grouping it. Just select the image and then group.. You can still just go into the group, measure and re-size. That way you don't have the issue of the image disapearing when you model on top of it.
Hi. Really enjoying your course so far. Unfortunately the link for the example floor plan doesn't yield the floorplan despite having followed the instructions. I didn't receive the email. Is there another way to obtain it? Many thanks
Justin, thanks for this and I am finally getting the finer points. I assume this is the easiest way to do the walls vs actually framing with proper layout. BTW for future videos a door is framed at 6'8"/80 high. ( Older carpenter. . .)
Only just found this software, it looks very powerful, looking forward to learning it. Is it possible to add electrical products to a room, things like conduits and cable tray? Thanks for taking the time to make a good tutorial 👍
What do you say to the DIY folks like me who have no experience using CAD or design software, but want to learn and eventually be able to create a 360 degree 3D model of their entire property, inside and outside, including landscaping. I want to use my existing paper blueprints as much as possible to ensure accuracy. And, I'd love to incorporate the new technologies such as Lidar via iPhone and Drones. My plan is to create a bunch of different remodel ideas to share with my wife. Some will be simple room remodels such as a kitchen remodel. I want to create a bunch different concepts like opening our bottom floor, this would require knocking down walls. I understand there are estimating tools too, each iteration of my ideas ideally would have a rough estimation of costs. Having the ability to add furniture and cabinets to get a real feel of final design would give my wife and I something to use when we begin the bidding process for a general contractor.
Around 17 minutes you say to double click to then use the push / pull to create the walls. My push pull will not work on this group? I can’t see what you are doing differently to me?
How is the fill thing coming along "minute-7:30"? I draw a geometry and it just shows a dotted area on the sheet? Does it have to be the white thing you get after completing your line segments?
Pro Tips - Always use REVIT to Sketchup workflow to save time including (Auto Tags, Groups, Components). 1.Import image in REVIT and scale it. 2.Model all the Walls, Openings for (Doors & Windows) with better Revit element parameters 3.Isolate each category as 3D View 4.Export 3D views as DWG 5.Import DWG to SketchUp.
Plz tell me when we want use image file to model, why not just scale the image direct? Why expode and group, and rec import image n scale and then detete expolded image?
How do you ‘delete the face” in order to keep seeing the image? As soon as I close a line and create a new surface the image goes away entirely. In your video you say delete the face, but I am not sure how do that. 😊 Thank you
I THINK this is Mac/PC thing. Are running a Mac? As far as I know, the Windows version still doesn't support PDF import unless something has changed. There are several extensions that can do PDF import of vector PDF's, but I've not seen anything that supports raster
Its srrange, every year we get a new Version of SketchUp, but still without any pdf import function, and still a shitty dwg import funktion, without Text etc.
Talk about STRANGE....I can top that. Let's talk about AUTOCAD that won't allow you to export your 3D objects as an FBX file after the 2018 version. Those greedy bas***** want you to buy a second AUTOCAD program to do so. I am spending nearly $2,000/year on the Autocad subscrand they want me to also subscribe to REVIT or their 3DMax. That is some nerve. So I design a kitchen in Autocad, then have to 3D model it in Sketchup before being rendered. Sometimes, I 3D model it inside AUTOCAD, but then the file gets really clunky even with a middle of the road graphics card, and then I can't use any other software to render. If I could export as an FBX file, then I could use Blender or Unreal Engine. That is why I am starting to look into using Sketchup. I am pretty peeved at AUTODESK right now.😊
Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below! :)
hi, can't find the Floor Plan Example image file, already subscribed, please indicate direct link of the image file. thank you
Pls I'm having difficulties getting the floor plan

excellent tutorials thanks a lot... sometimes I struggle to find following tutorial once I finish one but still when I find I am very happy :-)
thank you so much for sharing you knowledge
you're my savior, thank you so much!
Thanks Bro you are the Best for Sketchup on TH-cam and A lot of Love from Pakistan
I really like your video bczz your explanation is so good😊

This actually works. Thanks man.
Clear ant efficient! Thx😊

Sometimes it works hiding it in tags, and other times in outliner. Do you know why?

Can you put the picture here?

Hello, i found accidentally a solution to the image disappearing. If you import a png file the image is still there when you edit your group!

I can't seem to download the image
i wasn't able to get the floor plane on your own link , what should i do ?
Hi. I tried to download the floor plan , but it is not available
hi, can't find the Floor Plan Example image file, already subscribed, please indicate direct link of the image file. thank you
Isn't it the one in the description?
When I put the guides for the windows, the show up parallel with the walls instead of adjacent, how do I fix this?
Can I have the floor plan pls
Why didn't use use make component option to do the same thing again
I don’t understand the question
Cant access to the floor plan
What do you mean skp does not import pdf? I,’m on skp 2020 and it does… not available in newer versions? Reason enough not to upgrade then I guess
How do you import pdfs? With a Plugin?
I THINK this is Mac/PC thing. Are running a Mac? As far as I know, the Windows version still doesn't support PDF import unless something has changed. There are several extensions that can do PDF import of vector PDF's, but I've not seen anything that supports raster

At least we got spellchecker.

This works with sketchup pro 2021?
Should
Is there any way of importing an image which has all walls shown as 1 line ie no depth, and sketchup making all walls say 10cm or so?
🖕🏼 for the way you hooked us up with that plan image
Why you speedup constantly if it is for beginners 😂
