All these ideas are good for learning to draw in place--in general a good idea. But when you really get to making house models, you need to start using components of doors and windows to take advantage of SU's features, and add a lot of (reproducible and modifiable) detail with less work.

[@EnriqueGonzalez-qo5hn]

There's really no downside to using components over groups anyway. I don't even get why they exist. Components actually take up less file space.

[@pcatful]

Yes, to some degree. If you just make everything a component, you have to constantly be on guard that when you edit a component you are not editing other components you didn't intend. Components are powerful where needed, but a bother where not. Besides if you use the component tray, and just keep making everything a component, you end up cluttering it with random components and can't find the important ones. @@EnriqueGonzalez-qo5hn

My way of doing it is draw a 2D profile of the door jamb on the floor. It will have the outside & inside trim, frame and door stop. Make the 2D profile a closed group. Edit the group and trace the path of the door opening. Select the path, select "follow me" then click the 2D profile.

Sorry may I ask you. Could a person work as a designer with special education, just by learning those programs? I mean if he doesn’t work with real apartments, but only does projects like a freelancer?

[@MatteBlxcks]

@@ggerdaggTruth be told I learned all these from KZbin with no knowledge at all. Took me a couple of weeks to learn. Keep making portfolios and landed myself a freelance interior designer.

[@adammacer]

I'd fix your wall junction before adding trim

[@Rico_415]

Yea no kidding, shits a hazard

[@Dev1nci]

Make the opening too big then draw the trim as one long element. It’s quicker, neater, less geometry and easier to modify.

[@kareemeweis]

Wow! This is so smart! Thank you! ❤

[@SketchUp]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gilangridwan9617]

After the offset, you can drag line to wall edge so you only erase one time

[@babyblu5590]

Depends on what kind of door you are doing. For minimalism you just need the jamb. Door casing for contemporary or classic styles.

[@krissosful]

Nicely done:)

[@collectif_approximatif]

so good bro...

[@babsgraphics]

great, amazing

[@kayotic321]

Skethup needs to make a dynamic toolset like autocad or revit that makes it simple to create your own dynamic objects

[@medeekdesign]

It’s called the mdkBIM extensions.

[@kayotic321]

@@medeekdesign ive used your plugins before but I meant native.

[@medeekdesign]

@@kayotic321 Got it. I agree a better fleshed out system for dynamic objects would be helpful.

[@yuuki3343]

What does triple clicking do?

[@SketchUp]

It selects all connected geometry.

[@AR-15-685]

You're making it hard for yourself 😂

[@user-uv2jj9ej6g]

what is the "make it a group" option used for. what's the importance of it

[@SketchUp]

A group isolates geometry and keeps edges and faces together. Learn abotu this basic function and more at SketchUp Campus - learn.sketchup.com

Took that long to place a single door?? Sticking with Revit

[@sardarhama5751]

👍

[@user-dq4ve1ue8t]

Ok

[@Reallifejourney388]

😊

[@1075Delta]

Noice.

[@nm9412]

What program are you using to do this?

[@hildcit]

Pretty sure that’s Google sketchup

[@SketchUp]

@@hildcit Half right! SketchUp is part of Trimble and has been since 2012. But you're right; this is SketchUp.

[@shukritobi91]

Revit

Bro is using adobe premiere pro

This is SketchUp native tools.
