This was so helpful and to the point! Thank you.

[@linnyplant2753]

Thank you! I just wanted a clear tutorial on how to make a top down plan for my reno. Will check back here as I advance in my drawings. Hopefully you'll have vids on how we then move from top down floor plan to 3d viewing of our designs.

This is the best video I have seen to explain how to use Sketch up. Do you have a follow up tutorial from this? I have sketch up pro.....

[@CWebbTutorials]

Here's the Sketchup Pro floor plan tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nou3gaiqis5_n9U

[@isaacsavin3341]

How do you change the units of measurement to metric on this free version?

[@ryanspearman2935]

Is it possible to display measurements on the drawing? Showing wall lengths etc

[@CWebbTutorials]

This is possible in the pro version of Sketchup. Here's the tutorial that will show you how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nou3gaiqis5_n9U

[@Karolina-fc6ql]

I am working on a floor plan of my apartment . I have precise measurements of each room and each wall. However when I insert internal walls the room sizes get affected . stupid question: once I insert internal walls what is the best way to adjust the room size to the original official sizes?

[@CWebbTutorials]

I’m sorry I don’t think I understand what you’re asking. If you are referring to the internal lines that depict your wall you could simply draw those first so that they are the correct measurement.

[@user-ss3qx1bw4y]

Hi The video was impressive. Tell me the name of the plugin on the right side of the page. Thank you

[@CWebbTutorials]

Thanks! I didn’t use any plug-ins, this was done with the free version of SketchUp.

[@zunebug]

Hi! How are you easily navigating from this view? having a hard time panning to different areas without distorting the view everytime.

[@CWebbTutorials]

Hi there, you only want to scroll in and out when I’m top down view. Where you place your cursor will determine which direction you’re scrolling towards. Don’t use orbit or pan or it will change the view. Does this make sense?

[@B.Christine_W222]

I cant get the dimensions block to allow me to type in the measurements I need, how do I fix this

[@CWebbTutorials]

I responded to you other comment. Hope you got this figured out.

[@goddessLAKSZMI]

I have problem with changing from RASTER to VECTOR in layout. Do you know why? My view is disturbing when switching this option....

[@CWebbTutorials]

Sorry I have not used this feature.

[@Canuck352004]

there is no middle button in the scene section anymore. Please help me. Thanks

[@CWebbTutorials]

Go to "Scenes" on the menu on the right side of screen. Open up "Standard Views" and select "Plan View (Top)".

[@B.Christine_W222]

How do you get the rectangle not to close while trying to type in the dimensions😫

[@CWebbTutorials]

Click once to start the rectangle, type the dimensions. If you click twice you’ll close the rectangle. Hope this helps.

[@Miracle12863]

Please help me why my offset doesn’t like your offset 6.5

[@CWebbTutorials]

Not sure, I’ve never had problems with it. It would be best to google the problem

[@Arviploverakhewar]

What about lettering layout? Watched many videos but didnt find anything...

[@CWebbTutorials]

Do you mean adding dimensions and text? If so, this can be done with Sketchup Pro and a tool called Layout. Here's the floor plan video for the Pro version with Layout: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nou3gaiqis5_n9U

[@nainplayz4795]

Functions you use are not available in the free version

[@CWebbTutorials]

This video was made in the free version. What function is missing for you?

[@N1ghtR1der666]

this takes far longer and even the most basic house planner tools, seems like its not a good tool to use for this practice

[@CWebbTutorials]

Cool, what are you using to do it faster?

[@dripkidn.y.603]

My thoughts exactly, whats the better alternative?

[@binaryglitch64]

Can you edit out your breathing... I'm listening on headphones in order not to disterb houshold members and it feels like your breathing in my ear... it's hella bugg'n.
