SketchUp Free | Step by Step exercise project tutorial

[@logancrossland5062]

This teaching style is much better than just trying to explain what the tools do without using them, much easier to learn this way.

[@jonathanlazaro2021]

i love little exercises like this, keeps me from forgetting what i learnt in the course

[@sawdust302]

I loved the tutorial. Please do more.

[@johnmorrison6073]

Matt: I added this to my CMGT 245 Drawings, Specifications, and Codes class at Boise State University: It is great! Nice job.

[@willemvantonder8108]

A very helpful tutorial. I would also love to see more of this kind of tutorials. Drawing from a plan like engineering stuff. Something small.

[@Slewdiddy]

I rarely comment on videos and I watch hundreds. Excellent tutorial; you taught me exactly what I needed to know to make my first project! Thank you kindly.

[@Mastersketchup]

That's awesome! You made my day :)

[@colindo5591]

thumbs up. Thanks for the exercise

[@aubiejazz]

Great video! Your teaching method is very easy to understand and learn from. I am completely new to SketchUp and you taught me a LOT. Thanks!!!!

[@LewisKauffman]

Love it! Would have liked to watch you add the dimensions

[@Mastersketchup]

I think a video on "in-SketchUp" dimensions may be worth doing.

[@Mastersketchup]

Oh, I just thought maybe you'd like to download the model to follow along. I put it on the 3D Warehouse at 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/09438eed-ad98-4ea9-ba00-378677267d0d/SketchUp-Free-Exercise-Project, let me know in the comments if you have any other questions.

[@rommerts]

Perfect. Thank you very much!

[@GRPTechnology]

amazing how you can learn a few things you were not aware of

[@Mastersketchup]

I was hoping I could stuff a few good tricks in there so maybe there would be one or two things even experienced SketchUp users would learn ;)

[@GRPTechnology]

@@Mastersketchup Absolutely...people get used to doing things one way...not realizing their may be a far better method Please keep up the good work Matt.

[@patdennis4576]

great thank you! yet how or even can I put all the dimensions in ? starting here with free version thank you...PD

[@errollsipagan4617]

Thanks man! The whole video covers all of the things I need to learn to start creating models for my 3d printed projects.

[@finpas9915]

what a great tutorial. Thank you

[@DiEdraStinson]

Awesome, Matt! Love it. Thank you so much. 💚💛🧡

[@rvalerio6640]

Awesome! just like how you show us different ways to do the same task

[@Mastersketchup]

Glad you liked it!

[@mauriziofaedda7061]

Thank you, i learned something new 👌✔😉

[@bhavyaverma8709]

Can you please make a separate video on how to rotate and flip the object in sketchy free ..

[@yorkshiresfinestpair]

fantastic & easy to follow guide.. thank you...

[@duncanmarks1590]

Hi, Yes I like this format or style of presentation, very useful. Thank you

[@hobo1958]

Hell yeah man nice......ready for some shafts and gears now. Keep it up.

[@kdog24life]

Taught superbly!

[@vincentpybis]

So exited to start this

[@goransteen1]

Good lesson,thanks..

[@howardbecdove9780]

Thank you so much. I really enjoyed that exercise. Absolutely love this kinda format. I find it’s a great way to lock the moves in memory when it’s done in short videos, concentrating on one problem. Is sketchup free an later version of sketchup 2017? If so, should I upgrade? Do I do that whilst in Sketchup 2017?

[@Svanevej7]

SketchUp Free is the web-based version of SketchUp. It runs directly in a browser such as Chrome or Edge. No installation is required, so it is easy to try out. You need to create an account, but it is free. It is not an upgrade to SketchUp 2017, but the functionality is similar. The user interface is completely different from the desktop version and takes some getting used to, but after early struggles I quite like it. One of the main restrictions is that plugins cannot be used. Interestingly, you don't need to be online after you get started, but obviously the cloud storage is unavailable offline.

[@Mastersketchup]

Couldn't have said it better myself, thanks!

[@howardbecdove9780]

Andrew Wilson it’s good of you to take time to respond. Thanks

[@MADhatter_AIM]

wow, nice tutorial !!!

[@CaptainKnots]

Man, this is a great tutorial! It's great how you show us several ways to do the same thing - like using Scale and Guide Lines etc... I learned a bunch of tricks I so little time! Keep 'em coming! Thanks!

[@grumpywiseguy5992]

Just tremendous!!! I have been using Sketchup for slightly less than a year and still learned a couple of things!!! I don't know if you have pointed this out but what in your opinion are the features that are important that Trimble left out of SU Free? Thanks again.

[@yue7507]

good video to start off with sketchup, thanks :)

[@LuisJim81]

great great video thank you

[@kenanklovitch8117]

Hello, thank you for the video. I need some advice using Sketchup Free. I have always had a few fonts available for 3D text but now all I can access is Open Sans Regular. Does anyone else have have the same issue? Thanks in advance.

[@THEeoj123]

Thank you so much. I learn something new every time I view your instructional videos. Keep it up

[@kb3cxe]

Great tutorial! Keep it up.

[@mariocortes8231]

Greetings from Costa Rica. waw what a beautiful surprise I found today when opening my mail and seeing your demonstration with skp free, I love the icons so clean and my biggest surprise is to see how they are displayed on the screen has a much more professional image. Never stop buying year after year the version of skp from almost when it came out, until last year since I saw no progress, this image is not bottom shape but it is a nice breakthrough, I will wait for 2020 and we will see if I buy it, a thousand thanks.

[@Ginfio]

Great Tutorial. Easy to follow.

[@55418und]

good job.

[@claubeee]

O Catia 3D tem um recurso incrível. Quando vc precisa trabalhar sobre uma face vc a seleciona e ele roda pra deixá-la no seu plano de trabalho. Depois vc sai e ele gira. Isso deveria ser apresentado nas escolas como geometria espacial. É simplesmente um antes e um depois. Quem usa Catia 3D não quer voltar atrás pelo prazer q vc passa a ter desenhando peças. Teria esse recurso no SketchUp? =)

[@amtpdb1]

I have tried to do things to scale. The problem is I have looked up printing to scale to use for templates and it is never to scale.

[@lutfipriastohanurdi9844]

hi matt, i have question for this video. How we create that written measurement information? that cm number on each edge. Thanks. Regard from Indonesia.

[@Mastersketchup]

In SketchUp, there is a Dimensions tool. click between two points, then click to anchor the dimension line. Find it in the Large toolset or the Tools menu.

[@JJamesV2]

Well i got it built. Got it grouped, but I am having trouble figuring out how to move it around the plane as a grouped object. Ty for the Tutorial though much help!

[@JJamesV2]

Nvm, was forgetting to click the move tool and only using the select tool.

[@Mastersketchup]

Glad you got it figured out.

[@peterc2248]

Excellent video for newbies like me. One question. I have hidden an object (a wall of a building) by accident - how do I get it back please :-)

[@Mastersketchup]

If you turn on "Hidden Geometry" or "Hidden Objects", you can see objects that have been hidden. Then right-click > Unhide.

[@solarmandave]

Matt, Great video. I went to us my free Mac version 2015 of Sketchup and it's got issues, so I go to the online free version and I notice my space mouse doesn't work?? Is there a trick or do I need to pay big bucks for a new computer version. Help please.

[@Mastersketchup]

Yeah, unfortunately the 3D mouse won't work with browsers. In reality, I'm not aware of any non-standard peripheral that works with a browser.

[@havenhemmings3574]

Good video

[@carmelamacedo9069]

Anyone know how to make your lines darker? Not your shapes, but your reference lines and before making a shape lines. Mine are practically invisible :/

[@ChipPuccio]

love it.
