Hi everyone! Hope you're doing well in this crazy time. I know for some people things are slow right now, so I thought this would be a good time to focus on some Architectural Skill tutorials. These will be designed to teach you various skills that you can use when modeling for architecture in the future. Leave a comment and let me know how you're doing in the comments below! :)
I've been using SketchUp for more than 15 years and never attempted to figure out what the Sandbox tools were...Why!?!? This is SO useful! I model exteriors for cosmetic and renovation updates and could have saved so much time with this! Drawing backyards and walkout basements had always been my nemesis.
You are an exeptional teacher. The straight-to-the-point approach you take on this youtube page is rare in todays world. No music no blabla just straight to the point. Its fantastic. I normally have a hard time following video tutorials but these tutorials are really good. Keep up the good work.
Are you kidding me ! I was just going to practice " Terrain modeling" in the next few hours. This is where I lack experience in SketchUp. So I was going to experiment different ways of creating some landscape. I am writing this even before I watch your video. To exited :) What a coincidence Justin. I can say thank you right now !
Good video! Some important things to note that I noticed, for anyone curious. The mesh in this video is triangulated and tough to work with, making the mesh a psuedo quad mesh and keeping the retaining walls as a seperate group instead of being merged in with the terrain, these are generally better practices for this type of design.
Thanks! Didnt know about the stamp tool. For me toposhaper is doing more accurate job in creating the terrain from cad, but the boundaries of the site are still generating inaccurate as in your video. How do you align them? With intersecting faces?
Question, in CAD how do you set up your CAD plans so that it aligns right with the geo location map? Lets say a building envelope is in cad but want to make sure its in the right location in sketchup....
Hi sir I am Asif from Pakistan. I don't know whether you replay to me or not, but I want a series of interior and exterior architectural plans, this series brings millions of subscribers and views because your teaching method is beyond description. hope you will start this series for architecture users.
Hi! Thanks a lot for your tutorials. I have problems trying to add another stamp for terraces that are at a higher height than the building pad. Stamp tool now makes an empty hole in the terrain. Any idea why this happens?
U can get those contour drawings from site engineers. They develop cad slope drawings in elevated levels which turn out like the one shown in the video here unlike us who just plot it on the same level with reference from google maps.
@@Thesketchupessentials Think he is asking about how you got the contours in different levels. Coz in architecture school we were taught to draw contours in basic method like we do floor plans on a 0 level elevation. But ur contour had like levels here.
HI Sir i try to follow video about Shape bender when click shape bender on straight line Red axis but cant show these words (Start and End) Can u Help me ? sir

Make video on creating road on contour
@@sarahbrown328 Do what for free? I have over 850 SketchUp videos on TH-cam for free...

Thank you - I really appreciate it! :)

LOL - awesome - glad the timing worked out!

Your videos are truly life savers! Thank you so much
Hi your Chanel is amazing !!! ❤ thank you
Great summary thanks for sharing
Very thanks and please do more!!

I also have this same question... Have you found any good solutions?
Thanks... never really sure if Sketchup can match the likes of Revit and Vectorworks, but it has its place and I need it and your help!!
Hey Justin :)
Newbee here, just wanted to say thanks x)
Thanks! :)
Thanks from egypt ❤

Intersecting the faces of the footprint (rectangle box) with the model would also be quite a way to go about.
It could work, but you wouldn't get the sloping provided by the sandbox tool. Might work for walls though
Have you thought of a patreon account where you can go longer and show how the process is done?
What process exactly? This video was pretty step by step...
can i ask for tutorial how to make raods on this type of terrian , ofcourse roads will have sloping ....
It's a possibility - roads are tricky in SketchUp
Hi! Thanks a lot for your tutorials. I have problems trying to add another stamp for terraces that are at a higher height than the building pad. Stamp tool now makes an empty hole in the terrain. Any idea why this happens?
Not really - I don't think I've experienced this
@@Thesketchupessentials thanks for responding! I restarted Sketchup and it worked well then!
Thanks a lot. Very helpfull!
Did you level the contour line by your self or are they self generated
I don't understand the question - contours are from the CAD lines
U can get those contour drawings from site engineers. They develop cad slope drawings in elevated levels which turn out like the one shown in the video here unlike us who just plot it on the same level with reference from google maps.

HI Sir i try to follow video about Shape bender when click shape bender on straight line Red axis
but cant show these words (Start and End) Can u Help me ? sir
No idea - sounds like you might not have either the line on the red axis, or your base group set up right
I chatted your fb about shape bender and can I send video know that why parallel line not show (start and End)
Bro can you teach us how to make the trusses of houses can i send you an image?
Like this? th-cam.com/video/9kcxNsWAVq8/w-d-xo.html
You always post very useful content, thank you, but viewers should under no circumstances use the term "go ahead" for a drinking game 😁
Bro.. you need a new hat. lol
