Frankly speaking, the lesson was more than important and wonderful, and I am from Iraq. I loved the program because I am a civil engineer and I would like to delve deeper into this wonderful, picturesque and imaginative field.

I’m a smart guy.. a math major.. a carpenter.. a disgruntled IT support person.. but SketchUp eluded me. Just a couple of your videos here have dispatched the frustration and confusion I was encountering and I’m back learning SketchUp and it’s WORKING. I cannot thank you enough. Truly the best advice to ANYONE who wants to use this software is… get on board FIRST with your seven tips videos. My forever self says… thank you!!!

Alex is the best facilitator, and presents the most clear, well-organized tutorials and workshops. These videos as well as those at SketchUp School are "fat free." In other words, the instructions are simple, and to-the-point with no extra baloney. You will be taught the correct way to do things, not just a person sharing what they've taught themselves. I recommend these videos for all of my interior design college students, whether they just need a refresher or if they are learning SketchUp for the first time.

Bro im doing this in design tech and this guy is teaching me more than my teacher...

I have been using sketchup for personal use for years on and off.It is hands down the most intuitive architectural program ever developed.I highly recommend these tutorials to learn how to draw construction documents the right way, to save yourself unnecessary grief when you advance with SketchUp later on. Thanks for sharing.

Just discovered this channel. By far one of the best. The delivery is snappy, well thought out, and not cluttered with unnecessary fluff. Good job.

Hi I have just graduated as an Interior Designer and your step by step process makes it so much easier to store in my head !Thank you a STAX !

[nlee]

Alex is god gifted teacher. God bless you and your work! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[James]

I like how you explain everything thoroughly. Not boring. Like a teacher who can always get his students' attention so easily. Even some small details that I thought you would forgot to say. I've been using Sketchup for 11 years (started with Google SketchUp 8) until now, and every time I watch your video, I still learn something new. 👍

[agathosmarc]

I've been learning Sketchup now for a few years off and on. I learn a few new things every time I watch one of your lessons; real time saver ones too!!! Thank you, these are excellent.

[valpadilla]

I started using sketch up 3d by self study, I was able to complete many projects using this wonderful app. Watching your video, your steps and process just confirmed that what I have learned and have been doing with sketch up is correct. Thank you

[jennifermcdermott]

I love this! I'm studying Interior Design but have no idea how to use SketchUp...this is perfect for me!

[Muneeb.]

Very helpful thank you so much.
After wasting a lot of time I got all my answers here.

[carolinabeacon]

I've been using Sketch up since a long time but after seeing some of your videos I realized how many bad habits I do have and I've learnt a lots of very useful tools to improve my designs. The best Sketch up tutorial channel I've seen so far. thanks a lot!!! I'll keep watching all of them

[Jay_Kay_Redpill]

I find this trainers style slightly camp but hugely charming. I look forward to viewing more of his content and learning how to use this tool.

[Yourhighnessnona]

He literally just sold Sketchup to me 👍 What a great presentation and great energy!

[jalti]

I'm just getting started in Sketchup Make and have watched several of your videos. I have even watched the 7 Steps to Get Started 4x. They are all GREAT !! Thanks for the help.

[kathlenewang]

I am so thankful I found your videos. You have a very clear teaching style. I never worked in computers accept to shop and write emails and thought I'd never get this stuff but I'm actually proficient in Skp because of your videos. Major gratitude over here. My fave part: learning to export to PDF if I want my lines to look readable.

[ozcanonal]

I liked the tip about the difference between a PDF and a JPG file at 17:50, thanks for making that clear for me...
