Lessons 1 & 2 are the best Sketchup tutorials I have found. I appreciate the verbals along with the key strokes.

Thank you so much for creating this series for the free version of sketchup for all of us who cannot justify the cost of purchasing a CAD program!!!! So far I've been able to follow everything you did in the first 2 videos. Keep repeating those keyboard shortcuts! They are super useful and easy to forget for us new users.

[OLNO]

Best beginning tutorials I’ve found. Thanks for your hard work!

[wayneharris]

thank you for making such a simple and informative video!! I have followed multiple other tutorials and have always struggled with push pulling window and door cuts. I have spent countless hours and much time being frustrated never being able to consistently do what I want. Following this video has allowed me to do everything I want in my model with a smile on my face!

Thanks for the refresher. Starting to remember how I would design my 'dream home'.. Helps me calm my anxiety, especially during this epidemic.

You are the best teacher ! Thank you very much for showing me ....(us)... everything "from scratch". I never used any design programs like this before, so at first I had to practice how to draw a single line and everything seemed so complicated. Then I watched and practiced your videos over and over and understood everything perfectly. I am currently in an interior design school. This free tutorial is absolutely priceless! After learning as much as I can from you I will be brave enough to move forward and get the pro version. I am thankful for the Universe to find you!

Thank you Justin. You do a great job of making Sketchup look easy to use. You make it very clear what both the tool selection and key shortcut is while using easy to follow instructions. I'm ready to play some now!

Only used sketchup once 10 years ago to plan extension on my house and now returning to do the same. Wish your tutorials had been around then as they would have saved me loads of time as i did everything the hard way. Brilliant tutorial thanks so much.

[Matnor]

This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. Straght to the point, very intuitive and a very calm voice. Thanks!

[jdfleblanc]

Exactly the kind of instruction I was looking for. Thank you.

[MultiPotions]

Awesome! For someone like me, who isnt tech savvy. I appreciate your simple way of teaching.

[GunnerAl]

The best tutorials I have located and absorbed. I split screened with sketches on the other screen to create each move as you instructed. Got lost a couple times because I don't have the hot keys memorized yet, but I caught up and was successful. Great job!

[miguelmackay]

this man has the voice of the guy who would get As in every single subject and would explain everything to you when you asked for help

[venusonmars]

Man, thank you so much for your patient and clear explanations. Such a gift!

[jamesbirkenbuel]

You have flatten the learning curve that other tutorials failed to do. I feel that I can now follow your well written instructions as I move forward.

[bennri]

I've wanted to learn SketchUp since 2008 and your tutorial put me over the edge. Thank you!

[WendyHuffman]

I like how you repeat the shortcut keys to help us remember what they are!!

[laurajacobs]

This is a fantastic tutorial for absolute beginners! Thank you for putting it out there. So helpful!

[pmessenger]

Lessons 1 and 2 are very helpful- esp. if you’ve had cadd before- I’m returning to work after staying home with my kids and cadd courses are crazy expensive. This is a great alternative-it’s a great refresher class/- the end of lesson 2 when you edited how to better add materials was a little fast and confusing but if you go back through it you can figure out what he did. thank you for this free tutorial !

[sarahgherciapuf]

Definitely the best tutorials I have seen. You are also a very good teacher, everything was so clear and easy to follow. Thank you!!
