last tip was very useful
Awesome - glad to hear that tip was helpful for you!
One of the best videos about Sketchup I've ever seen. It touches all the most important elements about modeling in Sketchup
Wow - we really appreciate your kind words! Really happy to hear that you liked the video!
My favorite tip was to learn how the extensions work by understanding the basic functions of sketchup first. Very well taught! Thanks for showing me the proper way to run the model tools. Super cool!
You're welcome!
I've used intersect faces a lot but I have never used it to make edge loops to manipulate a component. An invaluable lesson learned right there! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I liked the last one: Use intersect face to create edge loops. Thank you for sharing this awesome video.
You're welcome 😊
I’m just learning this program and I really appreciate these videos. You and tour team are outstanding at presenting complicated concepts into easy to follow and concise videos. You’re also great at presentation and communication. In short: thank you for all the hard work.
Wow! We really appreciate the kind words! They mean a lot to us, so Thank You!
which version did you get the one that costs 500-00aud or the 1100-00aud one.
Great tip for use of soft edges. Looks very useful for quick presentation od free shapes low poly objects. Thank you Alex Oliver!
You're very welcome!
Every time I watch your video there's always a new things to learn... thanks.
Glad to hear that! And you're welcome! 😊
The edge-loop concept is going to help me!
Thank you!
Awesome - you're welcome!
The idea of using edge loops is new for me, a useful and informative video, thanks.
Glad you liked the inforomation on Edge Loops!
You are a first class teacher. I really like your emphasis on understanding the underlying fundamentals. It reminded me of studying engineering at university. I remember being completely stuck trying to learn iterative design work flow and my tutor wouldn't answer my questions until I framed them in terms of fundamental concepts. Of course, reducing the problem to fundamental concepts resulted in me being able to unstick myself without his help.
Thanks for the kind words. We invest a lot into trying to reduce the concepts to core principles you can apply, so I am glad that has shone through for you!
This tutorial is a masterpiece
Wow - thank you for the kind words!
I'm always learning something new! All of your tutorials are excellent.
Glad you like them!
part 7 is crazy ! :D thank you so much
You're welcome!
Very useful, thanks. Edge loop via a rectangle was particularly useful.
You're welcome!
Your videos have taught me an incredible amount in a very short time. I blew my client away with my 3D renderings of his home during my recent presentation. Thank you!
You're so welcome! That's so incredible!
I'm new to Sketchup and find these videos so useful. Today my 'ooo' moment was the Follow Me tool, I look forward to finding out more and using that.
Happy to hear that you've found these videos to be useful!
you're doing an amazing job man!
Thank you so much 😀
This is a top-of-the-line video and one of the best and most professionally created I have seen in this business for a long time! When tutorial-pros create something like this, it always appear really easy to comprehend and use. Like using the Follow Me tool to create edge loops for super smart and quick manipulation of complex geometry. Impressing!
Wow - thank you so much for the kind words! We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know that you liked the video, and are even more happy to know that the Follow Me tool for Edge Loops tip was helpful for you!
Not really new stuff, but a nice overview. Loved what you did with the curtains in section IIV, great solution.
We agree: These are fundamental tips, but they can help you come up with solutions in more difficult situations.
Glad I found this video, thanks. My brain was stuck thinking in a mode as if I was doing solid modeling like I did in College with tools like SolidWorks. I wasn't thinking about surface polygons as much as adding and subtracting primitives to create shapes. I was stuck trying to do something in a "solid-modeling" way of thinking, and here I see I need to change my thinking into a surface modeling and polygon mesh way of thinking. Thanks!
You're welcome! Really glad to hear this video helped get you unstuck.
Oh wow a curtain! That's easier than find a good one on 3d warehouse. Thanks!
You're welcome!
This was awesome. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Very good instructor, been with Sketchup since version 4. Never can review the basics too many times. Thanks
You are welcome!
so steve which version do you use..also what is your background...do you think for a person like me who has never done anything like this could learn this program...just asking thanks
@@nickbjones8833 I've just started using SketchUp within the past two months, and it is definitely learnable! These videos by SketchUp school have been a valuable asset to me and helped me build my first rendering for a client (albiet a very rough one). Over time it becomes second nature after some practice. :)
@@LilliOfDeathValley thanks for the info
Every information is put in a way so easy to understand, and so, enabling a better development in the future for every sketchup user. Thank you! i really am enjoying your videos ;)
Thank you for the kind words! And you're welcome!
@@SketchUpSchool you are most welcome, and it is well deserved. I used sketchup before, early versions of it, without giving any deep thoughts about it, just jumping straight to creating 3d models, and it was quite fun following the intuitive process of it, and this was probably in the early 2010. Now, after a break of nearly 10 years of it, i'm back in the saddle again, and dedicating time for these videos are a must do if one wishes to evolve properly! Thanks once more!
very very helpful.. Thankyou for sharing!
You're so welcome!
Great tips... Thank you so much
You are so welcome!
Thank you!! great video!!
You are so welcome!
Various use of Edge loops is really cool and it was unknown to most of us...
Glad to hear you liked that tip!
Excuse me, I'm 2 yrs late but I have to say this was the best Tutorial ever .
I learned a lot today . Thx
You're welcome! Glad you learned a lot!
Best video and very easy to understand. Thanks handsome teacher
You are welcome
Tips no.7 is new for me. thank you
You're welcome!
Vídeo incrível...Muito obrigado.
De nada!
I never usually comment on any of the video ,but I must say this is one of the helpful video . 🥰Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Very helpful. Thank you
You're welcome!
this made me in love with the program lol
Glad to hear this video helped you!
thanks, very helpful
You're welcome!
Hi Alex, Thanks for GREAT SKETCHUP TIPS!!! It helps a lot as I am self taught. do you have any extensions that supports Set & stage designs. As this is what I| use Sketchup for. Thanks Again.
Hi Danie 👋, It's hard to summarize it all here in a comment. The best way for us to provide recommendations is if you visit this link on our site to start a conversation: www.sketchupschool.com/which-extensions-should-you-be-using (note, this is the link we shared for people who watch another video you might be interested in: 10 SketchUp Extensions Every Architect Should Know - th-cam.com/video/mtpEmbteWW8/w-d-xo.html).
thanks 👍🏻
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Section 7 with the intersect faces is a new twist in the posabilities.
Glad to hear you liked the Intersect Faces tip!
You must a newbie It is already on skp since it was instruduced
Esse vídeo é muito top, sou Brasileiro e gosto muito desse software, o incrível é que eu não uso ele para engenharia civil ou arquitetura, os desenvolvedores poderiam prestar um pouco de atenção nos outros tipos de usuários, como makers, os caras da impressão 3D e desenho mecânico.
Happy to hear you liked the video!
Really educational video!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for share
You're welcome!
Very helpful
Glad you liked it!
It's amazing how little haa changed since I first used AutoCAD in the late 1990's. 🖖🏻
Love you brohh
:)
Hello ! Thank you for this very clear tutorial well explained !
I have a question, how do you duplicate element with the moving tool while duplicating between the two copy ? Like at 13:56 or 4:54, it seem to be a shortcut or a key to press, but I don't know how you do that and it would save me a lot of time if you explain me this shortcut !
Once you've picked the Move tool, on a PC, press the Control key (on a Mac, it's the Option key) and you will turn on the copy function.
@@SketchUpSchool Ahah I wasn't very clear I'm sorry, I do know how to duplicate with the CTRL+move method, but I don't know how you copy with multiple repetition between the two objects, like how do you go to 1 bar to 10 bars at equal range, with a single manipulation ?
@@toinoux after you've pressed Move + CTRL and you've copied the first one, you can just type the number of the elements you need
@@VS-fu4in Hello ! I just tested that and it sadly don't work... When I enter a value after duplicating it, it just change the distance between the two, but do not add the number of objects wanted.
@@toinoux yes sorry I forgot to mention that after the number you have to tipe "x" . So select > M+ctrl >first copy> type number+x
Excellent
Glad you liked it!
you are the best
Thanks! 😀
Very good intro.
Thanks for watching!
You're the best
We appreciate you saying that!
❤❤❤
🙏
amazing
Glad you liked it!
I'm in Guangzhou watching this , felt surprised to see a Cation tower at 3:31
Bem que aqui no Brasil poderia ter gente ensinando desse modo.
Que bom que gostou do video
about how long would you say it takes to pretty much master sketchup?
Maybe about 100 hours of learning + 100 hours of trying to work on real projects (intermixing the two) will get you most of the way there. Then of course you can continue to refine your skills over time.
How come when I try to move the polygon mesh, I can only move it in 2d? Please help.
Please send this question with more details about the issue you are experiencing to team@sketchupschool.com and an instructor will try to help!
I am using sketch up for past 3 years but recently the pc in which I am using the software is getting lagged.the pc is new with 16 ram and 4 gb graphic card and 516 SSD with Intel i7 10 th gen core.can u give any solution for the problem
Hard to know for sure why your system would be lagging - might be best to contact SketchUp technical support to see what they say: help.sketchup.com/en/contact-support/technical-question
Your soft's cool btw
why dont I have a effects chain on my setuper
I need a dwg file with full building size (door size, window size, wall size) and plan. Which I can download for free. Help me by telling me the names of some of these websites.
Please.
We don't have any specific website recommendations for downloading free, full building DWG files. Your best bet would be to search online and see what you come up with.

Glad you liked that tip!
Hai mr.please how can subtitle to Indonesian
(1)Turn subtitles on and then (2)click the settings button which is the gear icon on the bottom line of your video window. Then (3)click Subtitles and finally (4)Auto-translate. That gives you a scroll list of languages. (5)Scroll down to Indonesian and (6)click on it and there you go. Unfortunately, you will have to do it again next time you start a video. I don't know if there's a way around that.
Google Translate:
(1) Nyalakan subtitle dan kemudian (2) klik tombol pengaturan yang merupakan ikon roda gigi di bagian bawah jendela video Anda. Kemudian (3) klik Teks film dan akhirnya (4) Terjemahan otomatis. Itu memberi Anda daftar bahasa gulir. (5) Gulir ke bawah ke bahasa Indonesia dan (6) klik di sana dan itu dia. Sayangnya, Anda harus melakukannya lagi saat Anda memulai video berikutnya. Saya tidak tahu apakah ada jalan keluar.
How about blender?
Funny you should mention Blender - it's a topic we plan to cover soon. Can you tell us: What questions do you have about Blender?
They say blender is better for 3d project productions and compared to others it is totally free to use
Follow path
I'm working on a 11 million poly project.
SketchUp School
Helpful and clear guidance. but 80% of the time I'm seeing is the instructor's face, would like to see more tool instruction instead
Glad the video was helpful - and we appreciate the feedback as we're always trying to improve!
bano
i had to skip this video. way too much talking and not to the point. sorry.
