Getting Started with SketchUp - Part 3

Learn the fundamentals of SketchUp by following along with this video series. Each video is a mini-project that will introduce new tools and essential techniques to the SketchUp work flow.

This is Part 3, which focuses on an interior space. You will use the Tape Measure tool to create reference edges, learn more about the Offset and Push/Pull tools, copy objects and finally paint surfaces and bring in additional models from the 3D Warehouse.

Love everything about this training series. I love it so much that I can forgive that you are not using the metric system :))

Really enjoyed and learnt a ton from watching these video series.

For duplicating the windows, I learned that by grouping the window elements into a group and then creating a component of the group and then copying the component is far more efficient. When making future changes to the component, will also apply changes across to all of the copies of the component. I bet this workflow is covered in later videos.

at 2:37 into the video, you were able to use the push/pull tool to extend that rectangle part. I could not do that on my end, I did everything like in the video, but it wouldn't work. Any tips?

9:05 You mean there's no way to select that first window as an object and copy and paste it to where I want the 2nd and 3rd windows? Why not be able to select it, save it as an object to a custom library, and then pull it out and place it wherever you like? If you have a house with 30 windows you have to build them all one at a time?

[rishisharma]

what measurement do you open the document on??
like is it the metric system or the American one because when I tried the American one then it doesn't work when you type in the measurements.

I found that pulling into the room to create the design of the wall very helpful. Creating a clean wall on the other side. This video helped me correct my idea design. Thank you!

[dandandan]

Now how do you resize chairs because when I load it from 3d Warehouse it was so big it could fit in the room

[mvl]

How do you use 3D Warehouse in Sketchup 2017? And on a Mac? I am not able to access it..

[ArjunGupta-vdze]

Can we copy paste the finished 1st window on the other two remaining windows ?

[thomasvdbersselaar]

What template you use?! I keep getting smaller things then you have.

[zaneirwingyearl]

This has helped a lot. Thanks SketchUp!

[JesarresWorld]

[abdelrahmantarek]

[jset]

At 9:45, why can't I find this pigment palette in window 10? Is that only showed in MAC? How can I select different colors like you do?
