As always with Matthias you learn something new, and in a quick, concise, and comprehensible manner.Thank you for this helpful advice, it's very much appreciated. :)

Excellent tutorial, fast and straight to the point, the audio is great too.

WHY has it taken me so long to come across this video? Thanks Matthias, this is going to save me so much time!

[markchadwick]

Great video!

I think the layers are the most powerful feature of Sketchup. I make it a rule that everything in my Sketchup model is in a layer other than layer 0. This system works especially well if you are working on anything that resembles a box (including a drawing of a room). By assigning a layer to each side, I can quickly see anything inside the box without making special views by simply turning off layers. If you ponder this, you’ll realize that exploded views are not really necessary.

Thank you a lot. Congratulations for each video of your channel... All your tutorials are amazing. I am from Venezuela and I have a carpentry channel in spanish and I have learned a lot with you and your channel. Thank you Matthias.

Hi Matthias - Nice video, which I saw years ago and just reviewed again. Used this to create a side view scene for a small woodworking project, saved that as a tif file, then used your BigPrint program to make the calibrated paper template. You're stuff is really useful!

Thanks Matthias, your tutorial is really helpful and well structured.

Fantastic tutorial on advanced sketchup stuff Matthias! Really makes sketchup so much more useful!

Oh, that is always a tough one. I used "microsoft video 1" in camstudio. But then the whole thing got re-encoded after editing with a different codec!
A key to making it look nice is to capture at the same resolution and keep that throughout. In my case 1280x720

Thanks Matthias. How do you make a cut list/diagram from the drawing? Do you use Sketchup for that or a different program?

Matthias, примите мою благодарность за урок : " Using scenes and layers " . Хотя язык я не знаю, но достаточно доходчиво и без понимания языка. Я уже в течение нескольких месяцев наблюдаю и учусь у Вас по конструированию станков и приспособлений к ним, а теперь вот и в проектировании. Иван. Украина.

This is something that really trips me up. Thanks!

Thank you for clarifying this. I was banging my head on the wall trying to figure it out. I still wish there was a 3d program out there that would do a dimensioned layout of my solid models, like SolidWorks, but actually affordable. Sketchup Pro with Layout can, but apparently it doesn't even do dashed hidden lines without convoluted workarounds with semi satisfactory results, or needing plugins for something that should already be there. I've been making my models on Sketchup and then redrawing layouts on cad, which takes a serious amount of time.

Using 2017 version? Scenes are located under the "windows" tab, then hover over the drop down "default tray"menu and tic "scenes" to enable them to appear in the tray. Next, look near the bottom of the default tray (right side panel by default) and click the "+" to add a scene.

Pretty cool vid.
I have a question for you. If i have a 4" diameter log on my lathe, how many rpm's would it take to go 200 mph?

[middleknight]

Good job. You made it really clear to follow and you haven't added unecessary padding. thaks for posting.

Well done tutorial. I'm aware that you're Canadian, but it's so refreshing to hear Canadian/American accent using civilised metric units. :)
