Thanks for making this video - I like most people ( I think) am self taught and i have been using SU for years. I now know why my models end up in a nasty mess.

Thank you for these. I used your videos to learn sketchup - I've found this is the most straight forward program to use.

Liked & Subscribed! thank you for this tutorial. this is the best 3d introduction for me as a dude who only tinkers everything on photoshop. been in youtube trying to figure out a bunch of software and other tutorials etc. but your tutorials are the best and on point and I also want to give credit on how you emphasize on details which other instructors may be lacking such as shortcut keys that would be used most of the time. This helped me a lot in relaying a construction plan for our farmhouse here in the Philippines which is a 7.5m x 12.5m bungalow, show it to an experienced foreman and now the house is on its first month building process. Now that I understand how to use this software, I find it really fun! I can now re-live those days which I love when I took a drafting class 25 years ago using pencils and paper. More Power to your channel!

hello! thank you for these tutorials. But I have little problem - when I try to draw a square, rectangle always comes up, and even though I type the square dimensions in, the diagonal from the first point sets on the cursor level. Maybe I've got settings broken?

Hi, I can't seem to find the Flip tool. Is it specific to a particular SketchUp version? I'm currently using SketchUp Pro 2022. What I did instead is right click on the object and click Flip Along
