If you could subscribe to help me try to pass SketchUp in subscribers by Basecamp I'd really appreciate it! :)

This is the best tutorial I've come across, a few notes: when you move something, you need to select a point of reference first, then move it to where you want that exact point to be. Also, when tapering the legs of the table, you need to select the point on the corner and bring that in. I'm looking forward to learning through the next 29 days. Thank you for your instruction!

Amazing content. Thank you very much. I am a full time carer to my disabled wife and think 3D modelling will help me to unwind from tough days. I am a new woodworker and plan to design and build useful stuff.

The greatest sketchup guru. God bless you 🙏🏻

I'm a high school Engineering teacher and I use your videos a lot, been using them for years now. When my students watch these tutorials (with headphones on) its always fun to hear them all say "What's up guys! Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Super tutorial and very well explained. I wish I took it to months ago instead of trying to find all the shortkeys by trying.

[joseluisgeniole]

Excellent video, looking forward to the next one

[MarkJelley-ojmy]

This looks great, am starting my 30 day journey today.

[nicklausss]

I learned so much just from this video

One of the most important things you can tell somebody is to hit the spacebar to go back to the arrow so you can select things. Just take 20 seconds to explain that would’ve helped me tremendously as this is the first time I ever used sketch up.

Hey Justin enjoying the series thus far, One question if possible and that would also pertain to those using the free version . Could you go over the application setting that you have set for this series, ie. the template being used, model info settings and or any setting that you will be using and that will make modeling a faster easier workflow.
