15 Hidden SketchUp Tricks You Should Know

[@theclipreaper]

I'm blown away by tip no. 1! So many hours of stress that little bs has caused me over the years!

[@DownwiththeTowerexJW]

I've been using sketchup for over 10 years, and have just learned a couple of new things. THANK YOU!!!

[@mwds5240]

Me too.... Thanks heaps, Matt.

[@FranCarreira]

I´ve been using Sketchup for more than 10 years, almost 15, and still learning new tricks. I specially love the sync views, to have the same scene at different timestamps so i can make kind of a timelapse, or simply view the same scene in day or night configurations. Always learning. Thank you

[@hildoir]

I build pergolas and after finding this software I've taken my company to the next level I LOVE IT, also thanks for all the tips you are a master! I've much to learn, I just started last night but was able to make (within 2 hours :D) a minimalist pergola Thank you so much for your content, happy holidays!!

[@ch33kster]

After so many years enjoying SketchUp, this video has taken it to another level. Thank you!

[@PeteCollings]

Sync camera location is a new one for me. Cheers for this, Matt. Have a safe and happy holiday season and an awesome 2021...

[@thomaspippin5883]

20 years using SU - did not know about the multiple selection / make unique! Awesome stuff Matt!

[@Mastersketchup]

Haha, nice! Glad I could provide something even for experienced users.

[@SportGrounds]

I use SketchUp a lot and I didn't know almost all of them. Thank you for sharing these helping tips.

[@AT-AT-AT-AT]

the best sketchup channel.

[@montexan]

Thanks Matt. Camera sync and scale tips were my faves.

[@harziatmanearchistudio4995]

I've been working on sketchup for years and it's the first time I see this tips on the net!! excellent...

[@simwutang]

On tip no3 I would remove the option to pre-pick face, you can uncheck that in Preferences - Drawing - Disable pre-pick on Push/Pull Tool

[@Mastersketchup]

Oh nice! That's much better! Not sure I ever knew that one.

[@Skans-Gustav]

Fantastic tips. I realise that I watched it earlier but still have forgotten to adopt many of these wonderful hidden gems. I will make sure to practice them now to remember them.

[@kirti5464]

its okay sir u have more time left , PRACTICE MAKES MAN PERFECT

[@para-cad_llc]

Excellent presentation. And your book was exactly what I needed to get going with SketchUp. Thank you!

[@cristianvalenghi896]

I thought I know almost all tricks because all of the tutorial I'm watching, bur i think I just knew 2 of the 15. Awesome timesaving tips. One Trick I missed, but maybe you mentioned it on a previous video, is how to move a single point of a object. You probably already know, that drowing a line to that point ant than choosing the line, it make it possible, to move the single point. Thanks again for sharing you knowhow!

[@maxsturman1655]

...just getting better & better! Thanks again.

[@hambuilder]

Hey Matt-put me in the yes column for creating seamless materials! Thanks for this video too!

[@dolisdesra3868]

none of this tips I've known, thank you

[@JesseStanchfield]

OMG, THANK YOU THANK YOU for the tip on syncing camera position!

[@Mastersketchup]

Glad you liked that one!

[@hambuilder]

Thanks, Matt! These are really helpful-I especially appreciate the Scene camera sync tip. Happy holidays!

[@Mastersketchup]

Same to you!

[@24thCenturyBuff]

Camera sync is gold! Also, Sketchup is clearly becoming more and more streamlined for a hands-off-keyboard approach, specifically in conjunction with a 3D mouse. In addition to the last tip, right clicking in empty space or anywhere off the active group will bring up a context menu that includes Close Group etc. 2 clicks vs one keyboard key, but eliminates the need to take your hand off the 3D mouse.

[@cybersuperspy]

Great new tips. Great Works. Many thanks.

[@ashishdandekar3354]

It always excites me when I stumble upon some nifty ways to use SketchUp's in-built tools in different ways. Glad to have seen such examples in your video. Thanks for uploading!

[@captainsawdust1]

Excellent video, Matt. I'm subscribing now.

[@brannonfoster517]

I only liked this because there isn't a love button. Way too many subtle tips that I should have known after ~15yrs of use. Thank you!

[@OliviaBsb]

Omg! Some of these are real gold!!!! Thanks a lot!

[@bobd.]

Half of those tips I did not know, thanks. My modeling in SketchUp just got way easier.

[@matataliu3596]

Thank you for your tips and links!

That's great. those tips should be included on basic sketchup instructions immediately. Thank you!

[@RobMahan]

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to put these great tips in a video. Like so many other commenters / longtime SketchUp users, several of your tips are new to me and will be very helpful. And thanks for the summary and time markers in the description. I printed them out to remind myself, along with bookmarking the video for future reference!

[@CandleGuyFX]

I learned something new and for that, you've received a like.👍.

[@neillervick447]

Thanks for those tips, I was always wondering how to make a sphere and make curves smoother, I did not know how to change the segments.

[@robertoercolani9978]

Wow! This has been so useful. Thanks a lot for your work.

[@md4uh]

Move object A midway between objects B and C by allowing A to share B's location. Then ctrl-copy A to share C's location and then press forward slash key, hit numeral 2 key and hit enter. Finally, erase the A objects that are sharing B and C's locations.

[@chrisb3927]

They are all great tips Matt. Thank you!!!!!!!

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Thanks Matt......as always your insights and tips are very helpful....... how's the family...... Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!!!!!

[@rogeliopacatcatin6895]

Amazing. GOOD JOB a BIG thank SIR and MAM

[@critter_creek_nature_videos]

Regarding the push pull issue with a selected face, I also found if you right click on a different face then the selection will move to that and the push pull tool will still be active. So, right click new face, then left click new face to push pull it. Just another alternative.

[@ardy173]

amazing! i almost didn't know all of these tricks.!

[@Koosdiebox]

Nice tips 👌

[@LewisKauffman]

Thanks!!! Seems like I have a lot to learn!

[@Jaacck45]

Great resources and break down of tips 👏🏾

[@jenskuhn2052]

Cool Matt, awesome, I only knew of one! Can you perhaps let us know about some tricks to make Layout work a LOT quicker :)

[@blacksheep_77]

If Matt can do that he is the Chuck Norris of Layout

[@tgmckenna1]

Great tips!

[@Randor10]

Great stuff!

[@goffyfoot82]

You mentioned the Middle Mouse Button to Orbit option. While it is depressed that adding the left side button switches to Pan Tool. You need to hold both down to continue to use them. BUT, If alternatively you substitute the right side button instead. It adds a dialog drop down box with all the Camera Tool Options with out leaving the mouse. This frees up you mouse hand, then a quick tap of the right key brings the dialog box back. To change to a different tool or exit.

[@richardvankesteren7013]

I still use version 2020, but the Tilda sign hides other groups in the scene, where ESC closes the component / group. Great video, learned some new tricks.

[@StacyLoggins]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@ClaudePlouffe]

Thanks I just begin these tricks are great. Merci

[@Thatonehazelnut]

Any chance your book Sketchup & Layout for architecture will be updated? amazing tips btw.

[@createch16]

Solucionado. Muchas gracias. Conocía 4 o 5 de ellos. Un video muy útil

[@derekb3462]

Thank you!

[@garyspeed8961]

Great Refresher...thanks

[@Skans-Gustav]

Very useful, thanks!

[@TheHornoxx]

thanks & great - every single hint here!! (only I didn´t get the last one) Anyway, it's always so worth going back to the SkUp basics and I wonder every time how many more Easter eggs still are hidden in there !

[@joaquimjalmeida8760]

Hi masterSketchUp - great trics for us Tks alot. I have two doubts about the five tric, input only one value - insert (,) comma + a value, When i start rectangle click 1º and 2º point and keyboard (,) comma + value the SU assume a decimal value, ( 0,5m) to the first value of rectangle, ( my SU is 18) - last tip, which is to close the group / component; I think I understand when you say it; "to close the group, just type the comma (,) + number 1, (one)??

[@protvinorock]

Отлично мужик, хорошие советы!

[@aasthakastiya2608]

thakns a lot for sharing...

[@simonevans5963]

Quite a few tips here that I didn't know about and could find useful. In the last one, you mention using a tilde modifier. Is there a Mac equivalent (no tilde key!)?

[@blacksheep_77]

Definately NOT a Master. Only knew 2 of these and about 10 of them address daily frustrations I have. Thanks for taking me to school. Have you ever gone over Elevation Masking. It's in the Sonder book, but wondering if you have done a specific video on it.

[@triumfdula8830]

Hi, is there a feature to set a scene view vertically strait along the blue axis automatically ? i ususally do it by straightening a vertical guide along the safe frame

[@triumfdula8830]

Do you have any idea how can rotate the scene along the bluew axis, without moving or freezing the vertical line of the scene, so that the image will stay straight always vertically?

[@piotrwolinski2600]

Master level 👌

[@grahamblackmore6169]

excellent! ....thankyou

[@AngelieLopez13]

Thanks for this❤️❤️❤️

[@jokerlilo]

[@yousufsyedali6702]

Brilliant seems very helpful

[@patrykgrzyb2776]

I have model of cabinet with three drawers with runners , each of this three drawers are the same component. I would like to ctrl+x (cut) runners from all three drawers at the same time and ctrl+v (paste) outside component, but when I do this I get one runner outside component and another two disappear.

[@ghassanjenainaty4212]

I have been trying hard to download the extrusion tool in sketchup pro 2018 tool but never working. Any help will be appreciated please

[@vincebaker3384]

How do you dimension angles in Sketchup

[@saravananadikesavan5216]

GOOD TUTS

[@isstuff]

ok so to flip many misclainous faces, have your reverse face set to a keyboard shortcut then.... go into the push pull tool, as you hover over faces it selects them. hit your flip face short cut over and over as you hover over each face to be flipped. much faster!

[@ivanvillamizar3521]

For the pushpull+alt you need a plugin? It didn't work for me

[@shannonluciano]

Very helpful thanks only knew 2 from 15 lol

[@rendykuzuya9307]

thank you sir

[@meghanaprakash95]

than u very much. i am the beginner and it helps me a lt.

[@moisesgonzalez8422]

I actually learn somethings thank you

[@harlemonac11]

Thank you. I learnt a lot with this usefull tips. Just have problems with the last tip because on azerty keyboard it doesn't work. I search and i find there's no shortcut for the alienazerty users. So Just go on shortcut option in SU and search the close all component and say ² for shortcut. now you have the shortcut even you are an alien :)

[@dedyzeros21]

very useful

[@jameschang7274]

cool stuff

[@nisargbhavsar7028]

Very helpful

[@debbiehoward3780]

Matt do the first and last tips work with SketchUp 2017 Make. I could not get either to work

[@rogeliopacatcatin6895]

I hope we can meet ON LINE seminar or trainings you can provide Sir..Thank you

[@alemaniakarlottamovies2817]

Thank you !!!!

[@ireneuszkuropatwa8356]

thanks 4 the tips ;)

[@redmandesigns8924]

I like your videos I like that u can make a group before u start a 3d model

[@billruggirello1707]

I noticed one modifier for P (push-pull). If I drag a face, the original face goes away and I must do something to fill it back in. Holding CTRL when I start P causes the original face to stay intact. I'm sure there are other modifiers, I just haven't pursued them.

[@Mastersketchup]

That could be a whole other video, just talking about modifiers!

[@prasadharale3595]

Which camera did you use while recording?

[@Mastersketchup]

Sony A6400
