Tip: 01:55 Enable Endpoints in your Styles tab to better see the divide lines.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Nice one - thanks!

[@phinkuhh2398]

TYSM!! Im really happy to know that the controls arent just working on the app but also in the chrome. And while doing this stuff ive learn more stuff such as putting a measurement, lining up with measurements, compontent, ect.

[@zzzoooe3429]

whoa ~! I just realized there are so many flexible uses of basic tools to create stairs and appreciate your valuable sharing ~!

[@refusoagaino6824]

When designing, people often leave the stairs to the end, after allocating an "area" at the beginning, which then gets infringed upon multiple times until it's time to try to shoe-horn a legitimate staircase into a space that wasn't laid out for one, with lighting, switches (electrical) , natural lighting (daytime) and things like door swings, security, ventilation and handicap access all being addressed under limited circumstances. Build the stairs first. Get it right and shoe-horn all the other stuff around the stairs. It took me ten years to figure that out.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Good point! Thanks for the comment!

[@artworksenvisioneering2167]

Yes sir, as a designer, I can't agree more. It can derail your whole design when the city comes back refusing to approve a staircase (too steep, for instance) at that late stage and cause massive revisions and unhappy clients. Knowing this upfront and knowing the IRC or IBC max/min you must design to will save your neck. I prefer to have a simple block 3D dummy model for spatial tests, and a standard footprint in 2D to pop in while laying out plans so I know early on that it should work. In the 80/20 rule, this is a 20 that speeds up the 80 later.

@@Thesketchupessentials Hi mate, I really I appreciate your valuable SkethUp videos, can you please send me how to draw a radius in dogbone specimen, so I can 3D print it do some experiments on it , I have a radius of R76 and I drew it as 0.76 is it OK or is there any method that I can follow. Thanks Adel

hey, thanks for this Video, can I ask where does it came from the setting in convert line into pipe?

[@wilsonfineart]

Another fantastic video

[@notagamer32]

6:29 I don't have an option of converting into cylinders. Does it require an extension? Would be helpful if i get a video or some sort of tutorial to get extensions as I haven't added any yet

[@onextechnoengineer4893]

Love ur explaining

[@artworksenvisioneering2167]

Justin, couple of items needing addressing on how to build stairs efficiently is the legal parameters the code will inevitably force real world builds to conform to, so anyone seriously designing a staircase to build when required to meet code needs to work from code up. IRC 2015 allows max steepness of 7.75" risers and 10" treads with 1" nosing so because rise/run is so crucial to stair design and the surrounding structure they serve, I always begin with a profile method at 7.75x10 to set riser height to real ceiling. Real floor height is another key issue: most newbies or non builders won't count on real world ceiling/floor system thicknesses. You can't span an open floorplan situation with 2x6 thick joists. Most floor truss folks want no less than 16" and add to this 2 layers of ply wood for "framing" thickness. And most trades and builders go floor trusses for the MEP items to run easily in the webs. So we plan these in new builds. So, as you know, from slab to 2nd flr framed thickness is the real rise you go off. So for my profile method, my run is set off the 10" treads required to stay under the max riser ht. A simple stretch and check of my profile stair builder like you made is done to check I'm not too tall at the riser ht, then I go component treads from there, perhaps component risers. Then whatever finish floor you like, your components all update to this. Railings are also code regulated: 4" spheres can never be allowed to pass the ballusters or rails, so this can really tweak your design if you're not aware of it. Assembly Builder rocks this aspect. Use profile method to set rise/run real world, then run stair case builder in Assembly builder and tweak components to suit your style requirements, railing etc. I look forward to trying the 1001 bit tools option as it looks like it can cut down my "sizing" test time via parametric builds. Nice. You address a huge hurdle to fast 3D interior design in Sketchup, THANKS!

[@willembuiting]

He Justin! Nice to do a video on stairs! As you know I do a lot of stairs. I used some extensions and even bought the s4u stair extension (which is not easy to use). In the end I draw my own stairs using all kind of methods as shown in your video. I really love staircases end big old halls. Looking forward to your video on spiral staircase. Thanks again!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Lol - I was starting to film the spiral staircase video and realized I was over 26 minutes long, so I figured just making a separate video was the best choice :p - Thanks for watching!

[@venkateshgadamboina4272]

Whoa.! You made so clear to create different stairs. To be honest I left my passion towards modelling in the year of 2011. Moreover, I would like to start up again on the same path which can give a better growth towards my career and financial benefits. Thanks for your tutorials. I'll be grateful to watch and improve my skills as I didn't get any better skilled programmer on the same.

[@GoodVibes-ge3ew]

Hi Justin! I can’t find the “convert arcs, lines etc to cylinder” is it available in sketch up pro 2022?

[@inculetul7315]

at 9:33 how do you multiplicate that stair?

[@undertacher2001]

An answer here please.

[@JUSTINELLOYDEROY]

how do you do the move and copy of the 3rd stair? I cannot perform it myself.

[@evanthews-wassell8495]

Hey Justin and all. Quick question I am hoping to get some help with. I am pretty new to SketchUp. I am trying to model a winding staircase with a couple landings going down a hillside. 3 steps with a landing, repeated 5 or 6 times over the course of about 100'. Snaking back and forth. I am failing miserably. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[@brodyrowles3722]

Hey man love the videos !!!! Looking in to buying this program . Question when you built handrail to what ever you want . Will it give you true length measurements and angles or the hole drawing ? So I could make a cut list and fab up ? Thanks Brody

[@mostefaikhemissi7491]

[@jenyaparvanova]

Does it make sense to go through the Flowery process - it looks complicated. Can't you just bend with copying, rotate and move?

[@moodberry]

Excellent! But why do you do a "reverse faces" after you make an object? What is that doing?

[@ravitentu8267]

this video help me a lot

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad it helped!

[@adamjokl7615]

Love the tutorials. Id like to see something like a roof construction. I made a wooden hexagon cabin and cant really build the roof well

[@veilednikole]

Is there way I can find “ convert arcs to cylinders” on Ipad??? Or I draw it manually ?😮 thanks

[@goobiie]

You are amazing! What a great video! Thanks for all your valuable efforts 👌

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thank you! 😃

[@killuafan4365]

if i may ask why is reversing faces essential in the design? does it make for better geometry or just a personal preference?

[@stevezee3728]

Great videos, but you are insane with Sketch up mate, you crazy guru master!

[@Mystefier]

Great ideas. Wanted to add with the fourth and fifth idea once you create a stair segment you can group that into a component and then copy and position that whole segment into the next segment.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Good point - thanks Wade!

[@vernadethvergara8009]

[@junf6347]

I'm just amazed.

[@yoshio4703]

Someone might have mentioned this already, I can turn one of the component tread 180 degrees before you copy/move for next fright so the handrail should follow same direction, right? Thanks for the video though. I've got a lot to learn from ya!

Do you use a space mouse? It makes working In sketchup so much better for me.

[@leandroperez2295]

In the 3rd part, doing the railings but cant seems do it, cause its missing in my tool what you are using. what do i do?

[@jeffharmed1616]

Thanks for sharing. Very comprehensive and easy to understand, thanks

[@jeffharmed1616]

I've just discovered something that speeds up and improves the reliability of SketchUp immensely and I would like to know if it works for others too. I run AVG Tuneup in turbo mode on my Windows 7 machine, which cuts out any fancy fonts and background programs and this not only speeds up my SketchUp work but crucially it gives me virtually 100% reliability. For example in a days work, I might experience 5 to 10 crashes per day creating SketchUp models but with turbo mode - NONE. This would point to Windows and Microsoft as being the culprits for SketchUp crashes. Has anyone else had the same experience?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks Jeff!

[@AzoiatheCobra]

[@ralphng1625]

excuse me, i'm new with sketchup. can i ask which tool you use in 2:00 ?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

No offense Ralph, but I literally at 2:01 say that I'm going to use the move tool in copy mode, then I give you step by step instruction on exactly how to use the tool. If you're not going to listen to the instruction, then I'm not really sure how to help you.

My method, draw a line from where you want your stairs to end and to where you want to begin and then make a 90° triangle using that line as the long side you now draw lines from the middle of the two straight lines to the middle of the pyramid, you do the same with quarters, eights, sixteens etc until you have the desired effect, it's easy to do and it's fast
