Another cooncern would be the current ipad can i import my skp sketchup file on laptop and open on ipad ver?

I can't speak for everyone but I have the 12.9" and there are many times where it seems so small. It takes some getting used to, really believing that the canvas you are working on is 11x17 or 18x24, when the screen is so small, so if you are going to do schematic design sets on your iPad, go big, but if you're just doing charming client sketches and portability is an issue, the 11 will serve you well. It all comes down to how big are the ultimate drawings you want to produce going to be? Good luck with your endeavors, and please keep commenting on the video!

And you shall sir. Don’t give it up. You are a great dad!

Always appreciate your comments Wrighthaus!

Fantastic to hear. Keep up the good work!

And I have not lost the art of hand lettering

@@charlie1872 I'm tryna hang on to that too. Are you a Francis Ching man, or some other mentor?

It's a great combination! Are you using them together, or does this video perhaps inspire you to try?

in what sense?

If you mean did you get a new puppy and have been getting no sleep and therefore make videos to keep from going insane...yes :)

OMG YES!! It never even occurred to me that that could be so ambiguous! You're absolutely right and I will change remaining emails to mention that a student ID is not necessary! Thanks for reaching out and pointing this out!

Man, such a great question, and way above my pay grade. I honestly haven't gone as deep as this but I will forward your comment to Mike Tadros at Sketchup for iPad, and get back to you. He usually takes a while to answer such things but I'll try. Second suggestion would be to go to an Apple Store and maybe ask if you could try to open up one of your g=huge models on a new iPad Pro? Third idea would be to take a serious look at your model, evaluate exactly what it is you wish to accomplish, and consider using your iPad for a limited set of tasks, like refining the design in a coffee shop, etc. On first thought it would seem challenging to open and make progress on a huge model, especially if there was a lot of stuff in there that you didn't necessarily need during your mobile outings. In summary, SkiP (as I like to call it) is great at concept design, but I sure wouldn't want to use it for huge important models, especially when its so much easier and more stable to use desktop. Does that help? I'll go ahead and fwd your question still.Talk soon--J

You’re welcome! Sketchup for iPad next

Very welcome!

Thank you for your kind comment!

You have made my day!

Apologies for that, but I would not have done it if not for the fact that you can slow it down in the KZbin viewer. Go to the gear icon at bottom right-ish of the KZbin viewer window, tap it then select speed that’s best for you. And congrats on your excellent English. Much better than my German!

Tell me more ). Not sure what you’re referring to. The double tap on the pencil feature?

@@iPadForArchitecture you said that big changes are coming referred to the courses.

I'll reply here too in case you don't see it at the other comment: It’s actually going to be an all access pass approach. I. E. Instead of picking a course and then wondering if you should have bought another, it will be a monthly access pass payment (say $49/month?) for access to any and all content, and after a year of payments all the courses and their contents become yours for life. Would love to know if that sounds better to you?

@@iPadForArchitecture in this case enter the menu of gestures and there set drawing assist switched on for example bij tap with ginger on screen and keep holding it.

@@iPadForArchitecture sorry für the late reply. It is true that for concept sketching there are many softwares we can use (Ps, Procreate, Ai, Sketch up, Morpholio) but I decided to invest just in procreate and Morpholio because they are more affordable. Procreate is one time payment of 20 Morpholio year subscription is 20. Ai, Ps and SketchUp are also valuable but more expensive 🫰🏼💰. So of your content I will choose procreate course. Procreate has also some Ps features and is cheap both for me and client and it can be used for sketching and rendering both. What do you think?

Thank you. It’s actually going to be an all access pass approach. I. E.

How does that sound to you?

@@iPadForArchitecture hello i gave up sketch up, PS, Ai because are monthly or yearly paying and cost so much. I decided to go all in with procreate that is a 1 time payment and has a lot of potential both for rendering and sketching and tracking. my interest is residential landscape architecture. Manly sketching over aerial drone photo both 3d and 2d. Rendering over photo. Mixed Perennials Planting design visualisation.

You should watch more of this Architects work. He does add highly advanced realistic renderings…. This is basic stuff for students n hobby designers… Basic functions…

Laptop or iPad? I only know rendering on the iPad. If that's what you're after, go with new M2 iPad, 12.9" w/ 512GB memory. You can't go wrong.

@@iPadForArchitecture No, I really need a laptop recommendation. It can be in a device that you heard it's good, I will generally use it for Revit and 3ds Max. I've researched a lot and got confused. Also, I use an iPad Pro and I love your content.

@@MimTigger Infortunately I am clueless about laptop requirements for Revit and 3D Max. Good luck with your quest, though )

@@iPadForArchitecture thank you

Thanks so much. How are you using these apps in your life?

So glad you like it. Are you using any of these apps in your work, and if so , how?

@@iPadForArchitecture greetings! Yep, I use morpholio for redlining but also quick design and layout sketches in my architecture office. I mostly render in Allplan and twinmotion but seeing the potential of the iPad with procreate in your channel I’m trying to widen my skillset. Great to have a high quality channel to come to and learn. It just makes so much more fun when you can do what you love while also having an optimised workflow.

@@NerdishNature Well said! It never ceases to amaze me the hybrid workflows that come up, too. Just used Procreate to "take apart" a plan sketch that a client did on some homeowner's house design app, and spent the day rearranging the little rectangles I made of each room. Pushed them around to get a couple of schemes, then went to Morpholio to do area studies, and finally to Sketchup for iPad for quick massing model. Could have done it all from a beach somewhere, too, I guess. Oh well, didn' think of that lol. Thanks for your comments and interest!

Hey Matthew. I’m away from my desk so Not sure what part of the video you’re referring to but a possible fix to look for: make sure you don’t just select the layer as in highlighting the layer, but that you tap on the layer once it’s highlighted then choose Select from the drop down menu. Once the contents are selected you’ll see the marching ants. Then you can tap in the layer rectangle again, and use the Fill command in the drop down menu to fill your selection. Or drag and drop the color you want to use inside the selection. It’s a common source of confusion that selecting the layer can mean either “highlighting” the layer itself or selecting the contents of the layer. Two different things and very annoying that it isn’t more clear. Does that help? Lemme know asap.

Hope that helps?

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm trying to get rid of a background brush color. Did layer / select /automatic mode / and here I am back to the blue screen yet again.

Thank you! btw last time I watched that one I realized, Whoa, this is a lot harder than you think it is, buddy (buddy being me) so just being honest that the *principals* still apply but the details and the work may be more than you think )

This may help a little, otherwise write back and I'll try to find you some more ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zouzo5t-a798rtk

Ahh most excellent question. The alternative you suggest is very possible but most of my projects have many many layers so it’s more practical and expeditious to keep a “layer of trace” near the top of your layer stack so a) you are just using one if possible and not using up lots of layers, and b) because it’s time consuming to constantly be reducing the opacity of individual layers below your most active one, and it gets very confusing to start seeing through multiple semi opaque layers as you move up in the layer stack. A single layer of trace when and where you need it solves that problem for multi layer documents.

…and allows you to avoid adjusting the opacity of individual layer after layer. In the same way, I often counsel in the videos to use adjustments > hue saturation brightness as opposed to altering the transparency of a layer ( of color for example) because it’s so easy to forget that you’ve altered the opacity of a layer, and that in tune affects the true color of you subsequently need to sample a color on some layer below.

Pardon the suboptimal Siri dictation lol

@@iPadForArchitecture hahaha Thanks! Makes perfect sense! I come from the old Photoshop days and lowering transparency is my default move. But, since it's an iPad, every menu is hidden. And it is a real hassle every time I want to see the layer below vs simply hiding the white layer. And yes! I've played with a layer then forgot I did, then I go nuts 'cuz I have no idea what happened LOL White layer it is! Thank you kind Sir !!

I'm working on that, Reg! Got a plan to make them more accessible for everyone, especially students. Stay tuned!

@@iPadForArchitecture Hello thanks i wanted to clarify that I am not a student i am just poor. but I believe that you spent a lot of time to comprehend the software and the exact procedure and method to teach how to use those software to sketch.

Hello, yes even though the title of the email now aligns with the 12 Days of Skp class, I am still getting a link to the download of Procreate files for Plan to Perspective.

Hi, Gisela! Not that I'm watching my KZbin comment thread, lol, but very nice to see you here! Let me know if you have question. I now return myself to my previously wished-for schedule )

@@iPadForArchitecture Great! (I'm going back to photo scanning... from 1986...). Enjoy your work. 🙂

You will truly love it. Come Back and check in/comment often as you peel back More layers of the onion !

My pleasure!

That is so incredibly kind of you, thanks @jimmyqing! Stay tuned for more!

Let me check! Thanks for bringing to my attention

I just checked and everything appears to be working OK. Just to clarify, the assets that come with this video are different from the draw-to-scale sample kit that appears in some other videos. Does that explain the issue, or was it something else?

@@iPadForArchitecture thank u sir… I will check the other videos links and provide feedback 🙏🏽🙏🏽

you are unbelievably welcome )
