Amazing! I just had my first house model made in SketchUp just by following your step-by-step tutorials. :)

[clementthoo]

Amazing... I've been using Sketchup for a year now and I'm still learning new stuff from your videos. Good going Justin. Can't wait for the next one.

[luk]

Damn, your videos are so good. I saw them briefly several months ago just to look at what sketchup can do, and now I'm actually learning it from your videos, and it goes soooo smoothly. You're a great tutor.

[deanahmad]

Hey, I just wanna say thank you, love your videos. You've probably helped millions of people with these tutorials. Keep making them!

[fgwap]

Thanks for your videos, you made my learning easier...lol architects who don't render will find these really useful. Will watch everything!💕

[bunnyfromeasy]

I watched few tutorials about sketch up from others. Yours is the best one so far - a really good explanation of the tools and how to use it. Big thumbs up

[abdultaufik]

Love your videos. Question: while extending the roof overhang and i erasing the edges it erases the whole wall section why ?

[Theiftanlazx]

Thank you so much for your videos. They have helped me so much

[triaxialcivil]

15:41 For Macbook users, it's the alt/option key

[kiranakepakisan]

I use Twilight Render Hobby for rendering (because it's free), but I never actually learned the full capability of it and I don't understand how to add lights. You're the only Sketchup tutor that I understand, so if you don't mind maybe you can make a video of it? Thanks

[thebethebeetsile]

Great one Justin! You such an amazing sketch up tutor I have ever known since I was introduced to this software by my friend Aaron.

[sanjeethom]

Great video for beginners. May you also provide all the shortcuts you used in windows for mac also? That would be of great help
