In this tutorial I go over how to make a simple house, introducing the offset and follow me tools. I also explain inferencing a little better and show you how to skew and rotate textures.
+Aaron Bishop Hello, super enjoy your videos. I am using the most current SketchUp version and when I try to create the eaves by creating an offset under the house and pushing that offset to the roof line it isn't working. Instead it's creating a hollow space between the outside walls of the house and the inside of the offset area I created under the house. Any suggestions on what's going on?
Yes it is possible. I must apologize again for not posting in quite a while; I've had to keep much of my focus on other projects. Hopefully 2017 will give me some more time to get back into filming some more videos. Cheers!
this is the kind of tutorial instructors that I like to watch and follow (fast and strait forward to the point) not wasting time, and that's why I hit the subscribe and the bill button right away :) GOOD JOB bro. keep it coming Thanks...........
Mind Boggling... I think I watched this about 6 years ago.. tried SketchUp .. here it is years later and I thought I would try it out again.. Excellent tutorial :)
Sketchup is so damn easy that most architects don't take it seriously.They think it's for laymen. But it's not true. Sketchup is a good way explore ur idea. Cad, Revit always there to final touch.
thanks alot this is very helpful I am just starting, but I can see using your examples will be almost all I need, I'll probaby watch them several times each. My only suggestion, you go so fast! Pretend you are talking to people who don't everything memorized like you do!!, Still its really great sharing of your knowledge and we are lucky you are being so generious with something that probably took years to master . thanks again
please help ... when i select the roof lines with the line tool an shift key , as soon as i select the push / pull tool they all deselect and i cant push or pull , with te alt/option key ,,, im on a mac
Something is wrong with your measurements. You typed in 20',10' and then 35',15' but shortened it by 5' so then it would be 30',15'. The problem is that on the X axis, there is 20' on the first rectangle and there is 30' on the second rectangle but the second rectangle looks more than 10' longer than the first rectangle on the X axis. If the first is 20' on X axis and the second is 30' on X axis, then it should only be 10' longer but it looks more like 20' feet longer. What is wrong?
I'm trying to figure out the same thing. I put in the same numbers as him, and my dimensions are clearly way off. As far as I can tell, the second rectangle on his is actually more like 40'x20'. But I can't figure out how that happened because he clearly types in 35'x15' before shortening it.
I THINK I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!! After like maybe an hour of endlessly fucking around with the settings I figured out what the problem is. It's nothing we did wrong. for the first rectangle, he types in 25',10' All good and dandy there. for the second rectangle however he makes the very mistake he warns us not to make lol : He types in " 35'15' " with no comma in the middle. That's why his thing is larger. I don't know why the program does this, and I personally don't understand the significance of the comma in the measurements because I suck at math, but if you don't type in the comma for the second measurement you should end up with the same thing he has.
...thanks a lot!! Could you also explain the process how to build a house and using layers, components and groups. And also where should i put my help lines? On which layer. Because i not alsways want to see this help lines from the measuring tool.
There's something wrong with the measurements of the first two rectangles. Following along with the exact measurements you give returns a different shape. The small rectangle is 20 ft long and the big one is 30 ft but it's more than twice the length...
WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT, I FIGURED IT OUT, HE SAYS "MAKE SURE YOU YOU PUT A COMMA" ON THE FIRST RECTANGLE, THEN WHEN HE DRAWS THE NEXT RECTANGLE, HE FORGETS TO PUT HIS OWN COMMA AND DOES (35' 15') IF YOU WATCH CLOSELY IN THE MEASUREMENT BOX DOWN TO THE LOWER LEFT..... WHICH GAVE A RECTANGLE AT 50' INSTEAD OF 35'................, THEN HE SUBTRACTS 5' SO THE FINAL RECTANGLE WAS 45'....TOOK ME A MINUTE BECAUSE I WAS FOLLOWING ALONG AS WELL THEN I KEPT COMING UP WITH THE WRONG RECTANGLE SIZE IM USUALLY REALLY GOOD AT THINGS LIKE FOLLOWING ALONG ON TECHNICAL STUFF. THAT WAS IRCKING ME LOL
hello Mr Bishop I need to ask few questions where do I get this all materials because I don't have this shadow and camera views how to get this all features can you please help me
Aaron.. I understand the procedure for "reversing faces" but do not understand why it was necessary here (you did it immediately after creating the two rectangles and deleting the shared edge in this video). Why was this necessary? Why did the two rectangles not "automatically" (i.e. by default) open with the correct ("outside") face(s) showing after you created the first/simple rectangles?
I am having trouble making the roof. I hold shift, select the two lines, then go to the move tool, hit alt then click on it. When I click on the move tool, the lines stop being highlighted and then I can't pull them up to make the roof. What am I doing wrong?
I did everything this person did and my house footprint would not form on the "ground" -- just always made a 2d style wall aligned with the blue line. Tried rotating so never had to be near blue line no avail. Unsure why I am so clueless. Make it look so easy.

I have watched so many sketchup tutorials, and yours is the first one that was actually helpful!!! Thank you!

Is it possible to get shapes as accurate as 1/16" ? Also, is this channel done cause you haven't posted since your "I'm not dead" comment.
Yes it is possible. I must apologize again for not posting in quite a while; I've had to keep much of my focus on other projects. Hopefully 2017 will give me some more time to get back into filming some more videos. Cheers!

How come I dont have any of the extra tools you have? I only have a short tool bar on top and thats it
Is this the paid program or the free version. Cant seem to find all the tools that you used during this video.
...thanks a lot!! Could you also explain the process how to build a house and using layers, components and groups. And also where should i put my help lines? On which layer. Because i not alsways want to see this help lines from the measuring tool.
Did you use Sketchup pro for this video or Sketchup make?

+Bob Mailer It isn't strictly necessary, perhaps I'm just a little OCD and like all of my model's faces to be the same colour.
Hi Aaron,I am just starting with sketch up. Want to build a 16' x 24' garage. Do you have any tutorials for a garage? Thank you,Jonathan
I am having trouble making the roof. I hold shift, select the two lines, then go to the move tool, hit alt then click on it. When I click on the move tool, the lines stop being highlighted and then I can't pull them up to make the roof. What am I doing wrong?
me too im not sure what to do
am getting soft from your video, thx alot. how do i make my soft more than 50sec long? I clicked loop recording, pressed the record
i need help, he says the measurements, but the thing is i dont know how to make a side of a rectangle, a certain measurement, how do you do it??
I have 0 clue how to use the follow me tool. When I try to do what he does, it simply does nothing. Help?
Really helpful tutorial ty a lot ^^

can you do this but with the updated version
very helpful thank you very much!!! :)
+Aaron Bishop question? it's that suitable to import in unity?? if yes can you show how?
Super good!
good video for learning
which version of sketchup was used in this video?
I did everything this person did and my house footprint would not form on the "ground" -- just always made a 2d style wall aligned with the blue line. Tried rotating so never had to be near blue line no avail. Unsure why I am so clueless. Make it look so easy.
where can i get textures for houses like modern wood floor and pool ? and what textures are u using in this video
