GETTING STARTED with SketchUp Free - Lesson 2 - Creating a House Model

[@bobrederick7666]

Lessons 1 & 2 are the best Sketchup tutorials I have found. I appreciate the verbals along with the key strokes.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks - really glad you liked them! :)

[@marcmetry373]

Super helpful thank you

[@miguelmackay4851]

this man has the voice of the guy who would get As in every single subject and would explain everything to you when you asked for help

[@Voltage386]

Thank you so much for creating this series for the free version of sketchup for all of us who cannot justify the cost of purchasing a CAD program!!!! So far I've been able to follow everything you did in the first 2 videos. Keep repeating those keyboard shortcuts! They are super useful and easy to forget for us new users.

[@kekmajom]

I usually struggle with new things unless someone is sitting right beside me showing me how to do something, but the way you word things and show the perfect examples just makes this so easy to pick up. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks very much - really glad you're finding the videos helpful! :)

[@PerrynBecky]

Very well put. Couldn't have said it better.

[@syedahmed-u6o]

stop the cap you eedia tttttt@@Thesketchupessentials

[@Jack37771488]

I don’t usually bother commenting on videos but I just have to say you have a gift when it comes to teaching . Great job my man

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks very much - really glad you found the video helpful! :)

[@OLNO66]

Best beginning tutorials I’ve found. Thanks for your hard work!

[@wayneharris2666]

thank you for making such a simple and informative video!! I have followed multiple other tutorials and have always struggled with push pulling window and door cuts. I have spent countless hours and much time being frustrated never being able to consistently do what I want. Following this video has allowed me to do everything I want in my model with a smile on my face!

[@Matnor1974]

This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. Straght to the point, very intuitive and a very calm voice. Thanks!

[@julukurs5257]

How to download that kind of free sketchup

[@amandagleeson2625]

Hands down the best and most practical tutorial I've found online for Sketchup Free. I found the way that concepts and techniques explained were easy to understand, and paced really well for absolute beginners like myself.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad I could help! :)

[@radv3959]

Thanks for the refresher. Starting to remember how I would design my 'dream home'.. Helps me calm my anxiety, especially during this epidemic.

[@MultiPotions]

Awesome! For someone like me, who isnt tech savvy. I appreciate your simple way of teaching.

[@jdfleblanc]

Exactly the kind of instruction I was looking for. Thank you.

[@robertmorris800]

This much easier than trying to use the out of date written material or videos. The narration is very good and helps with all the little tidbits to control the frustration level!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks very much - glad you liked it!

[@jimeva7363]

My second lesson on my first day and I created a house! This is great instruction. Best to have dual monitors so you can have the video instruction on one and your SketchUp work space on the other.

[@anthonyfaye3344]

I'm designing a shipping container house model to give to a builder. After doing the whole design the hard way...twice...I found these videos. So what took me several weeks...twice...I'm probably going to finish in three days. Great job explaining the app!

[@Yensticles]

no one cares

[@cherylx5984]

Just thought I would say a super huge thank you for the tutorials. Amazing and really easy for beginners! Very excited to learn more!!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks! Glad you're finding them helpful!

[@apartmaniris2312]

Thank you! It is very helpful!

[@Yensticles]

i dont like this content my teacher is forcing me to watch it i would rather watch men@@Thesketchupessentials

[@lilolgreyhairdlady4093]

Such a great teacher! Clear, concise descriptions & you even show common mistakes (that I Will make) and how to correct them. Can't wait to learn more.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad it was helpful!

[@laurajacobs1000]

This is a fantastic tutorial for absolute beginners! Thank you for putting it out there. So helpful!

[@manricorazzi]

WHY DID I FIND YOU CHANNEL ONLY JUST NOW?!?! Priceless lessons, thank you so much!

[@roberpillott]

You have a gift for teaching. Greatly appreciate your time and efforts to put all this together for the sake of helping others.

[@syedahmed-u6o]

no he doesnt

[@ibrahimmelihSatici]

thank you for all the support

[@ArifKemalMeydan]

hello

[@ibrahimmelihSatici]

@@ArifKemalMeydan yo arif whats up my g thanks for all the support

[@saladshop4599]

You are the best teacher ! Thank you very much for showing me ....(us)... everything "from scratch". I never used any design programs like this before, so at first I had to practice how to draw a single line and everything seemed so complicated. Then I watched and practiced your videos over and over and understood everything perfectly. I am currently in an interior design school. This free tutorial is absolutely priceless! After learning as much as I can from you I will be brave enough to move forward and get the pro version. I am thankful for the Universe to find you!

[@jamesbirkenbuel9011]

You have flatten the learning curve that other tutorials failed to do. I feel that I can now follow your well written instructions as I move forward.

[@fablewalls]

Well... after 10 years of downloading Sketchup and deleting it - I finally learned how to model in Sketchup and then move that model as a whole rather than move one part, warping the other joining surfaces and polygons. Thanks a bunch man - this was pretty informative. I also have a whole bunch of keyboard shortcuts too thanks to you and they all make sense. Maybe Trimble have changed things since this video but when I grouped my model I couldn't activate the R key to create the ceiling. Had to start the whole model all over again and not group - worked this time but the R key doesn't work as smoothly or obviously as it does in your demo here.

[@ErikGreisson]

haha, lots of recognition there! I've been doing the same, downloading and then getting super frustrated with basic manipulation and uninstalling. These videos are great though! Haven't uninstalled yet this time.

[@lizasiddall6917]

Only used sketchup once 10 years ago to plan extension on my house and now returning to do the same. Wish your tutorials had been around then as they would have saved me loads of time as i did everything the hard way. Brilliant tutorial thanks so much.

[@JaseJase]

My first day on sketch up - thanks for the helpful tutorial

[@happyadventures3674]

same

[@DRstayhard2]

simply awesome!! i reinstalled sketchup after being away for awhile and find it's so new no this is why i'm viewing your channel to get re-familiar with the new setup.

[@venusonmars]

Man, thank you so much for your patient and clear explanations. Such a gift!

[@theknightcrossing]

I've never touched the program until yesterday. I watched your pt 1 and, after watching just that, I was able to build a model of the slide-in truck camper that I will be building. This video, pt 2, is just as helpful for furtherance. You're a very skilled tutor that educates and engages. Thank you! I'm going to find something for doing the framing layout also; perhaps in one of your videos?

[@NochkaASMR]

Amazing tutorial for beginners like me. Thank you!

[@balkrishnarana5278]

The best tuition delivered at comfortable speed and explanation. Thank you.

[@loslopezacosta]

Thank you! Your tutorials are really good! You do have incredible skills to make it so easy to understand. Congratulations.

[@Chris-Shinn]

Easy to follow you while I'm running SketchUp in a separate window. Just the right pace - when I make a mistake I can pause & rewind and figure out where I've gone wrong, undo and do it again. Great video and great software - Thanks

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Excellent!

[@melski50]

I FREAKING LOVE THIS TUTORIAL!! I LEARNED SO MUCH MORE FROM THIS VIDEO

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad you liked it! :)

[@Blagne007]

School would be so much batter with teacher like you :) Very nice tutorial :)

[@tessalouise4438]

Thanks for your time!!! I’m having a problem with the roof in this lesson. Front of house is fine, but when I turn to the back, the rear of the eave is a bluish color, not white like yours. Subsequently, I can’t pull it to the back of the house. What am I doing wrong?

[@lishmonster16]

I’m experiencing same issue and can’t figure it out too

[@americanmiss1976]

I am having same issue when I turn house around to pull roof bavk it pulls a negative space across the roof creating a hollow gap between house top and new roof

[@ChelseaPensioner-DJW]

I see that this was 2yrs ago, so you'll probably have worked it out. For those that haven't, instead of thinking that you need to click on the back, don't. That isn't the face (working side), click on the front which is the face and then use the push pull tool, when you've got to where you want the end to be, it will create another face at that point. You'll see that better if you are creating a cube, draw a square/rectangle then push pull from the front face (white) to the required point. You will then see that push pull will have created another 5 faces. Front/Back, Top/Bottom and Sides.

[@LuMartMedia]

I'm new on Sketchup and i've found your tutorials ! Congratulation Justin, very simple to follow and useful .. Thanks very much !

[@jennystevens8532]

This tutorial is so helpful and easy to follow. Great starting point and makes me feel capable to get to work on my own. THANK YOU!

[@johnswilley6764]

Great demo, and I subscribed. Many thanks!

[@specialir2740]

kzbin.info/door/uwukYkT6Resz6OATPpXAGw

[@CoreyPetraswoodworks]

Great tutorial. I'm having problems though with the offset roof. Everything is fine until I rotate to push/pull back. I just find an empty shell that doesn't allow being pulled back.:(

[@fngf3501]

Maybe you pulled the roof part inside out

[@pmessenger8981]

Lessons 1 and 2 are very helpful- esp. if you’ve had cadd before- I’m returning to work after staying home with my kids and cadd courses are crazy expensive. This is a great alternative-it’s a great refresher class/- the end of lesson 2 when you edited how to better add materials was a little fast and confusing but if you go back through it you can figure out what he did. thank you for this free tutorial !

[@pradobognot2452]

Thanks again for another great tutorial! I really like your sketchup lessons the best since it is really easy to follow for beginners like me. ^_^

[@ozlemguler8687]

I love the way you teach! Easy to understand, so I have the confidence go go ahead and try creating something in SketchUp now. Thanks so much.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Awesome! Glad I could help!

[@enidarroyo9404]

Great Tutorial, the best found, the only comment is that sometimes the instructions are given a little bit fast,

[@mathieunoel6013]

I watch a lot of tutorials on various subjects and yours are some of the best around...I like how you always consider repeating the shortcuts without being kind of childish, the simplicity of the video and the pacing too.

[@adventurain]

Bro, I'm starting my quarantine SketchUp journey with you! You made it so much easier for us beginners, hope I'll be as dedicated as you are in making lay-outs!

[@cynfulification]

Thank you so much!! You are the best teacher ever!!! I have learnt more from you than what others have taught. Good work!

[@erichayes9559]

That is the curviest hat I've ever seen

Thanks very much! I want to try mocking up an outdoor kitchen and your tutorials were SUPER HELPFUL!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Happy to help!

[@장성준-t4m]

Thank you for the Playlist. At least I have lessons being learned in order. Focus guaranteed. Thankyou. Great work Sir. Michael.

[@MiguelMoreira-i5y]

Lessons 1 & 2 are just perfect. we can get an idea of what can be done. I play the video in fast forward, that means you speaking velocity is great to for beginners. great work 5*

[@rishvithanlego172]

[@brettsimison9505]

just what I was looking for! Thanks

[@brittanystaley4269]

Great job showing how to use this software. I am excited to dig in and play around with the software when I would normally be overwhelmed by new software. Thank you!!

[@DeeplineStyle]

Excellent tutorial. I'm just now trying to learn this program for my roofing company. Thank you!

[@larrywollman1678]

Great verbals along with the tools and instructions

[@masihmanthanbibleshiksha8566]

TNice tutorials is the best tutorial. Simply explained to a newbie, great job man.

[@Talliesyn]

am so glad I wached that tutorial. Thanks for showing the efficient flow so that we do not draw one line at a time, doing countless calculations on the paper :D.

[@mgl-63]

Your Lessons are great, I have learnt so much in just a couple of lessons. Well done, so easy to follow.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad you like them!

[@sandisonogaya5164]

Thank you so much hope there's a lot to learn, I never watched a long tutorial till the end but this one I wished could extend to an hour

[@marienzilani]

Best tutorial ive ever come across . you make it look so easy..im motivated very motivated. Thanks

[@stephenjohn5568]

That was a really helpful tutorial. I assigned it to my students and did it myself. Great stuff. Thank you.

[@divyareddy2165]

This tutorial is very easy for the beginers to understand the tool perfectly. Thank you so much for these tutorials

[@williamreadon9052]

i agree this is way more informative than even the 'official" sketch up videos, i'm only just beginning and this helped me immensely

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Really glad it helped!

[@1spdpd]

Thanks! I feel more confident in designing stuff now!! Looking forward to all vids on this subject

[@jimboelterdotcomm9153]

This info resolves the problem I was having with "stickiness" in my practice models. I didn't realize that sticky surfaces was the default in Sketchup and that I needed to "group" items to keep my models usable. In general, this demo was much more helpful and easier to follow than the "official" beginner's demo/model in Sketchup Campus. (Nothing against those guys - it's not as if I was paying for it) . Very well done!

[@dkaamraaj]

Very thoughtful made application n your efforts to simplify so lucidly Thank-you VM

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sarahgherciapuf5339]

Definitely the best tutorials I have seen. You are also a very good teacher, everything was so clear and easy to follow. Thank you!!

[@pameliapax]

OMG! You are a brilliant teacher! Wish I had found you sooner. You know how to teach a complete beginner. I feel I can now master this program. THANK YOU

[@serahrose4699]

Thank you so much I can't wait to watch more of your videos

[@CicoinTokyo777]

thanks!ive just started the free version of sketchup and i found it very difficult sometimes, but your tutorial are so cool and easy to understand

[@bob-ny6kn]

"What's up Geis!" :) My step one. Select "human" >> press delete. Step two: look for "tyrannosaurus" image. As far as the rest of Sketchup, I have the worst time aligning the pointer with the axes, corners and surfaces. So many times I had to tear walls down to try again (sort of like 10:20). I really like your lesson videos. I learn much more than from the videos from the makers of Sketchup.

[@finnk1289]

For a beginner video, this has taught me a lot more than I've learned in my past months of using the software. Little efficient details that I've totally missed - thanks!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Awesome - really glad it helped!

[@avishkarwalse4532]

SIR, i cannot tell u how help ful it is for me... i have just started studying architecture, i am in the first year of architecture... they r gonna introduce us to the software next week... and i am already started to make models is amazing... THANK U SO MUCH!... GOODLUCK

Great I loved how you gave lots of examples, I hope I can watch the second video and learn a bit more.

[@GunnerAl9]

The best tutorials I have located and absorbed. I split screened with sketches on the other screen to create each move as you instructed. Got lost a couple times because I don't have the hot keys memorized yet, but I caught up and was successful. Great job!

[@edenobrien2082]

Great tutorials. I had never touched Sketchup before today and thanks to your videos, I have created a house!

[@shwetawaikar4093]

Thanks Justin. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but when I try to draw a rectangle ceiling over the house model, it doesn't draw. Ive grouped the house model beforehand. What am I doing wrong please?

[@jhust69]

When I get to the "push pull" part right after I do the 6 inch 0ff set on the wall ( around the 4:30 min mark) it creates dotted lines on the walls and floor and it won't let me " push pull" the door. I can't figure it out.

[@omkarnagekar1241]

Thank you So much for ur ti and support
