Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about anything we talked about in this video in the comments below! :)

[franknewton]

Was trying to do the push pull command where a line needed to be added to the rectangle. For some reason my lines aren’t showing up on the faces of the cubes?

[jbrownson]

I didn’t see this video in the playlist FYI, thanks for the series

[thomasbrydon]

Hi whats your thoughts on modeling a house this way versus using a BIM software like visualarq instead?

[paulmacphail]

Hi Justin. Thanks for producing the Rhino Essential series. After working on Sketchup for more than 15 years, I've recently had to switch to Rhino as my weapon of there are some differences I need to get my head around. I have been struggling with the Gumball>Copy with distance. I think I have it now, but I think it needs to be clearer that just to copy its Tap Alt but to copy over a distance its 'Hold Down' Alt over the Gumball Arrow...not quite as inuitive as Sketchup... move distance, but I'll get used to it.

Any idea why wire cut is doing something completely opposite than in the video? It's leaving the windows insides and it's cutting all the rest of the model. I have to tick keep all and then delete the windows manualy, otherwise it will not work. Any suggestions?

Justin brother I noticed you last video was a month ago. I hope you and the family are ok. We expect more content from you every week. Love you entertaining and helpful content

Hi Justin, thanks for another video, always very helpful. Just one question, when i downloaded your plan for this tut I cant get rhino 8 to snap to the lines of the PNG. Have you got any advice?

[ritikautmani]

Hi, how can I shorten the wall height once it is already made?

[unfoldingdideas]

Thank you....I am not able see my Picture frame of the floorplan ? what should i do?

[victorymasiwo]

Hi Justin.
The part where we offset:
Regardless of the distance I type mine offsets using a very large distance. More like the offsetting distance is an automatic one regardless of whether I type a shorter or longer distance.
How can I solve the problem?

[liambradfield]

Useful video. Dark screen is VERY hard to read.

[Silence_do_good]

I like your videos, they are helpful and instructional. You could improve your videos by taking out filler phrases and words. Your points would come across more clearly. Solid videos!

[otojoyt]

My measurements goes outside the grid pattern, is that Normal

[siniiniger]

bro, you don’t have to draw a line, you just need to select a 2D scale, take two points and write the desired value on the command line

[jacktoddy]

Justin - what is the point of this video? You need to start from first principles off which Architects can interpolate the modelling process. Tracing and scaling is just not the way the world is progressing.
