Modeling a Proper Door Hinge - Skill Builder

We've done hinge modeling sessions in the past where we showed tips and tricks, but the door hinges weren't up to "code". For this video, we wanted to be more accurate and model what a typical door hinge would look like in SketchUp.

this was an excellent video to bring together all of the skills that you learned with the Tools playlist ... or in my case, a half-dozen attempts later, finally nailed it. Still have a few little issues though.

Anyone who has viewed two videos from this channel (the first hinge video and the one about cut /trim / subtract solids) should be able to do this "proper hinge"!

This video was THE BEST answer to haters / lazys / dumbs that I have seen.

Congratulations!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks for the hinge video. Although I'm not a paying customer (hobbyist woodworker and retired) I usually find useful info in your videos that help me use the program.

[vladimiro]

Thank you very much for an interesting and useful video! I learned a lot from him new methods of working with objects!

[yankeeboys]

That's great video! Keep doing good jobs Aaron - love it - greatings from Denmark

[ralphallen]

Thanks as ever Aaron. Funny the little bits you discover while watching these videos. In addition to learning how to make a hinge, which is what I wanted to do, I will forever remember the offhand way you said, ''so I'll scale that to negative 1". That is such a useful trick to me that I can't get over it! Thanks again.

Good to see you using guides. Tks Aaron

That's great video! Keep doing good jobs Aaron. Cheers!

Always learn something from your skill builders thanks Aaron !

[bamabiker]

Another awesome skill builder, thank you Aaron. I have learned something new. thanks again.👍

Hello, Aaron, Great work! Thank you for this short lesson.

Right on man!! Just what I was looking for

[bradmeacham]

I believe the rounded over hollow sections of a hinge are called knuckles. The flat plates are leaves. When the knuckles are intertwined and pinned together with the pin, that is then defined as the barrel. Hence a "barrel hinge".

[michaelford]

Thanks!!! I was one of the commenters that asked for a 3 and 2 barrel hinge. I’d love to see more dynamic component training.

[SteS]

Ha. I mentioned the 3 and 2. Thanks for doing another video. Also, the 3 knuckle goes to the door and the 2 to the frame side. I think that's so you can line the pin easier. That fillet double click! Nice.

[edmcgugan]

That was excellent Aaron! You have a very efficient workflow. Did not realize you could repeat the radius that easily. I've been copying and rotating. And Divide is now an available Command? That is new? And very useful. Good stuff almost every time. Thank you.

Far better way to draw a hinge, and quicker than my effort. Tank you

[juliuskornides]

Hi Aaron, love your work! Could I request you do a skill building session on drawing uneven terrain from a building plan? I am trying to do a garden design from a builders map where they have datum points for heights and I am finding it difficult to join all the datum points together to show a proper topographic map of a household block. I have done a search for any similar tutorials and all I can find is adding contours from a map. I need to get down to a much more granular level. Thanks, Julius

Another complex hinge made to look easy!
Just being bit critical, Most UK hinges like this would have the 2 screw holes close to the knuckle and single out on the flap. I don't know if US hinges are built different?

Hey Aaron, what about modelling a DRONE, should be interesting I think ..great channel and I learning every time I watch, look forward to the live shows, keeps me sane at mo lol 😂 cheers
