I was about ready to give up on finding an app to use for designing projects around the house. Everyone wants to charge you exuberant amounts of money for apps now. Just to try something out. 7 day’s isn’t necessarily enough time to learn something and evaluate it. I was ready to go back to my graph paper, ruler and mechanical pencils. But you showed in 12 minutes exactly what I wanted to know. On top of that you have some expertise that I can learn from.

I’ve just downloaded the free trial looking forward to learning SketchUp in a more intuitive way and combining with my procreate skills 👍

[yeideevioleta]

Thank you for sharing your findings and knowledge!

[mun-shots]

thank you so much, you are the only sketchup tutorial on ipad i could find. though it'd be nice to do a tutorial for complete beginners who have never used sketchup but want to start on ipad, thank you!

[Juststudiothings]

You're a GEM. Read my mind sir. And added things I didn't even know I needed.

[ollebelow]

This is awesome. How about adding exact measurements? Adding a keybord?

[GaryR]

Procreate is an app I already have, so this is perfect! Thanks!

[alisondominitz]

Loved this so much to learn. I still feel im drawing in the sand with a stick but with you …….

[cynthiagonzalezmuthyala]

This is great. I’m still new to all of this. How do you group stuff?

[KRhodus]

You had me at “reading an owners manual” ❤😉😂

[mojodojo]

I'm amazed how SU has evolved. Powerful.

[peterxyz]

First time on your channel. Thanks. I was waiting for sketch up on iPad

[Bigsinglecoils]

Thank you for this, much appreciated!

[ColinHolgate]

When you choose any tool you see a scholar's mortar cap icon. Touch that you see a video showing how to use the tool. In the case of AutoShape, you also are shown 20 shapes that you can draw, including the ones to predictably get a sphere and other volumetric objects.

Salaam! Wow! That was how it’s done…very concise informative and fun. Thank you 🙏 I am completely engaged in using this new version of Sketchup for iPad Absolutely.

[ruftime]

Thank you!
Not sure about this “Owner Manual” of which you speak?!😎

[jetsonjoe]

You have no idea how appreciative I am of your great videos and information.
Thank you very much.

[brandyp]

Thank you for this overview! I learned some interesting tips I haven’t seen anyone else talk about. New subscriber and I’m definitely looking into your classes!

I just stumbled onto your video for the first time while surfing YouTube. I've only gotten /57 seconds into your intro. re: how you want to help viewers find the exact tutorial they need at the time they need it. That really is what I have been looking for in Photoshop as well. Do you know of anyone such as yourself who can help people like myself who are in desperate need of finding the proper tutorials at the proper time for Photoshop, Lightroom and other programs such as the one you are piloting in this video? Thanks so much.
