SketchUp Tutorial for Beginners - Part 2 - Modeling a House

[@gekritzl]

I like how, when you make tutorials for beginners, you don't assume much, you really show us each step, what to click or which key to press, etc.

[@bob-ny6kn]

Except seeing which tools are being activated. "Over here" is not something I understand as obvious (being a beginner), and the size of the pointer hinders seeing "here"... Maybe being descriptive while using the keyboard (which does not work all the time) and mouse... "along the top toolbar" or "on the left toolbar" as the mouse is flying from place to place. I rewind the video a bunch of times to catch up with the pointer. The video is good for content.

[@iBG24]

which one is the UP KEY?

[@anjumarshad2789]

It is soo boring

[@Goldenbudgetsavings2]

Where is the play list for this video Collection

[@1954olfart]

Easy to follow, I'm 66 yrs old and enjoying the easy and concise lessons. Thanks for offering your time and expertise, it is greatly appreciated!

[@shawndsimons7849]

Best Tutorials I’ve ever found. Giving complete instructions without making those of us watching feel like dummies... clear, concise, efficient descriptions and soooo easy to follow! Your voice is PERFECT for tutorials/teaching... THANK YOU SO MUCH! (I’m almost 60 yrs. old, and these have been perfect for me to continue to keep my interior design skills up to date. So helpful! Thank you !) I would LOVE a tutorial on setting up the actual screen. I can’t figure out how to get all my tools in the screen, instead of off to the side, all by themselves. 🤪 I work on multiple screens, so the tools open up on a totally different screen and it’s obnoxious.

[@fredbarrantes6401]

Great tutorial for learning and getting the hang of a few of the main tools. I do wish I knew the Mac short cuts. I'll have to find a cheat sheet.

[@jonathanhicks3672]

Learning SketchUp for the first time and you are kicking ass! Keep up the hard work and thank you,

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad you liked it!

[@camelitaesene]

i'm in love with this channel, I can follow your tutorials so easily, thank you

[@hudi42]

This was the best sketchup lesson I've seen. Been a newb to sketchup for so long because I never learned the basics. Great job, thank you!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks - really glad you liked it :)

[@pjohnson0818]

I teach engineering to middle school students and this is by far the best set of tutorials I have used. Thank you for what you do.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks very much - glad you're finding them helpful!

[@kota86]

Wow, this is an absolutely top-notch video. I used to use this program a lot back in high school but it's been a while and I had the sudden urge to start using it again, and your video is the perfect teaching tool to inspire that!

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT video Justin. As a beginner these "real world" projects help us learn the functions of the buttons, shortcuts etc and help us remember how to use them. Good job and thanks.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Awesome - glad it helped you!

[@a.7642]

AMAZING!! Thank you so much! I've tried a few different video courses and just haven't been able to get it until I started yours. Thank you again!

[@VH7420]

Great. This video moved me off of going back to the tools all the time, and I began to learn the keystrokes.

[@mecdot525]

This was the best as a new person, I followed accordingly only to find that SketchUp is not that complicated. Thanks very much

[@Pravinarai]

For MAC users you will need to select the connected edges individually using the shift key and then use the move tool. To use the copy function for the move tool, you will need to click on Option key instead of Ctrl. Hope this helps someone who gets stuck in this step like I did :)

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks for this - as a lifelong PC user, I kind of forget to offer up the Mac options sometimes...

[@LeandroLoan]

Also, to unselect itens we have to use Shift Control.

[@corygranner7027]

THANK YOU!! I was losing m mind!

[@alanmartinezbrito]

Coming from almost 6 years using Modo, and now have a couple of good archivs projects. Great video, compact and useful, you make wanna consider sketchup as working tool, thanks.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Cool - glad you found it helpful! :)

[@MrJohneisherwood]

Very informative. I've learnt how to use sketchup in 20 mins.

[@BigPete7407]

Much appreciated! I have a much better understanding of the basic elements. I am very 'fluent' in Visio as I have used it in my past career. Sketch up seems very similar and by the same token very different. Your teaching style very much appeals to my learning. In dabbling with sketch up previously, I was frustrated with the tools and got caught up in trying to use the help and hunting and pecking. Your channel is exactly what I was searching for. I'm currently disabled and on Disability so I cannot support your channel as yet, but I will share and like and let the ads play at least. Thank you.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks very much Peter - I really appreciate it! Glad you're finding the channel helpful!

[@RuntOfTheLitter6]

Nice workflow and tutorial. Hadn't learned the memory feature of the tools yet....PRICELESS! Love those golden nuggets. Keep up the great work Justin.

[@banyarydym]

Recently attended a class where I paid some architect $480 and walked away clear as muddy water about SketchUp. So relieved to happen upon this channel.

[@jonalesch]

Nice job. Concise and you do a great job explaining your actions in a way that I can follow.

[@jenningsguitarscompany1730]

I am thankful for how you make sure and share tips on how to find certain functions and work flow pasterns! Very helpful, thank you!

[@danbianco196]

Thanks for the videos! (One suggestion: if, possible... maybe add a little graphic to the video around the 15:00 mark reminding people to hold down SHIFT while unselecting parts of the model?)

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Hi Dan - unfortunately I can't really go in and change the videos, but it's a good point that I should have mentioned. Thanks for the feedback!

[@stephanierubin1055]

Super helpful--thank you! I don't like watching or reading instructional materials so taught myself SketchUp as I used it a few years ago (and have used it off and on). Someone recommended your videos as I'm not up to snuff using it professionally as a landscape designer. Your videos are super painless and at a great speed. My SU skills are improving, even just learning basic stuff that I skipped. I tried watching tutorials elsewhere, but they bored me to bits.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Great video, dude. I love that you working and talking though it with us and not simply directing something scripted. Noting the icon AND the shortcut key is amazing. I much prefer shortcut keys and it bugs the hell out of me that Sketchup doesn't even label all their shortcuts when you hover over the tool. I look forward to learning more from you.

I love your tutorials. So much better than me slogging through Sketchup for Dummies and written instructions. Question: Could you please do one dedicated to preparing a design specifically for a 3D printer? I'm reading about how you need to plan in terms of horizontal layers, avoid hanging edges, etc. But it would be great to see one of your demonstrations.

Are you using the desktop version or the free online version? The desktop version shouldn't really be THAT different, but I have separate tutorials for the online version if that would help

@@Thesketchupessentials The web app free version. I was just saying it looks like your tool bar and drop down choices, and i don't see a way of doing that. I have found your free version tutorials and have started watching. I'm just REALLY frustrated with Sketchup (always have been that's why I never wanted use it.) Nothing seems very intuitive in it. You have help me so far. I'm stuck on resizing a piece of lumber later, while I'm working. I bet you've got that for me in there somewhere.

@@Thesketchupessentials Justin, thanks for that link. I am checking it out now. I was VERY frustrated last night trying to just build a simple 2x2 mobile workbench. BUT I slowly worked and got it done! That REALLY helped boost my confidence and made me feel better that I MIGHT be able to actually do this. I'm not a "sit at the computer and putz around all day", I HAVE to be physically doing stuff all the time 🙂. So learning this, and walking slowly through it IS a struggle for me. There is SOOOOOO much to it that it is kinda over-whelming. But I keep trying. I just have to learn to stop going down the rabbit hole after about an hour and get up and start building something 🙂. Thanks for the the help and pushing 🙂.
