All language subtitles for 613241-09 - Navigation - The definitive SKETCHUP course. From beginner to expert.en-US

In this episode, we will
talk about the navigation.

So first of all,

we have to understand

these three axes that we
can see on the screen.

One is blue, another
one is green,

and the last one is red.

They are representing
the three-dimensions

that we have in this space.

The blue one, a
vertical dimension,

most of the times represented
by the letter set.

And then we have these two ones,

the green and the red for

representing the
horizontal dimension.

The letter for the green
one is the letter Y,

and the letter for the
red one is the letter X.

So as you can imagine,

this axis will be all the time.

Our references for don't be

lost when we are orbiting e.g.

because at the end it is like
if we are astronauts into

space and then we have to

be patient in order
to be able to,

let's say, control our movements

or the movement of the
camera as to prefer,

in a very accurate way.

I would like to add as well that

every axis continue
after the region,

which is this point I am
marking right now with mouse.

So this lines, this axis
continue with a dotted line

which represent the negative
part of that dementia.

Furthermore, if we look further,

we will see the line
of the horizontal.

Above that line, we have

the sky in a blue
color right now.

And below that horizontal,

we have this gray color.

All of the canvas at the end
is representing a sphere.

At this very moment,

we don't have color for
the plane of the ground.

Right now, that plane is
completely transparent.

So we can see that semi sphere

below the horizontal in
that gray color are,

we can see that
another semi sphere

above that horizontal
line in that blue color.

In the next episode,

we will talk about the templates
and in a very rapid way,

I will teach you how to change

those colors in case
that you don't want it.

But continue with this lesson

in where we are focused
on the navigation,

we have to pay attention to
this group of buttons we

have here where we can find

this first option called orbit,

which actually I am already
using it without clicking on

here because I am clicking on
whole the will of my mouth.

Then I click I hall
and I moved for

understanding better these
movements of the camera,

I will draw a queue.

Once we have this
cube as a reference,

if I click a whole,

the will of my mouse and I
move my mouse to the left.

What is happening is
that we are actually

looking at the right side from

my point of view
of these Q, right?

So if I move now the
mouse to the right side,

the other side of
this cube is visible.

Besides, if I move the
mouse now to the top,

as you can imagine,

what is visible now is the
ground floor of this cube.

So the opposite all the time.

And if I move my mouse down,

then I am Watson at
the top of the queue.

So I recommend you
to draw this cube.

It is very easy.

You just use a rectangle

and use the extrusion,
push and pull,

and be very conscious
about how this orbit tool

works in a sketch will help

you a lot for the next lesson.

Apart of this orbit tool,

which is very, very important,

we have this pan tool,

the shortcut for the pen tool

is the letter H in your laptop.

And then what I'm doing is not

rotate the camera as
I was doing before,

but moving the camera
vertically or horizontally,

but I am keeping more or less
the angle of the camera.

Next option is the soon
using the wheel of my mouse,

I can scroll in or scroll out.

But if I want it to
be more precise,

then I could use
these two tools.

The first one called
soon, one is clicked.

If I use the left
button of my mouth,

I click and hold,

and I move the mouse,

I will get closer,

but in a very soft way,

softer than if I am using
the scroll of the mouth.

So sometimes can be useful.

Next option, Zoom window,

will allow us to create a
window clicking and holding.

And then I will assume that

content inside that
window when I released,

then I have some
that specific area.

I will do it again.

With this woman, I create
this window around her.

And when I released,

then you can see that we have

some the woman at her
maximum size in our screen.

Next option for a
good navigation

is this button
called zoom extents.

This is a very useful
bottom in my opinion

because it will help us
a lot to recover our,

let's say, perspective drawing

when we are quite lost, e.g.

imagine that we are here
now, maybe too close,

and we want that perspective in

where we can see everything.

So we can click on here.

And then the camera,

we'll capture the complete
drawing at its maximum size.

That is very, very
nice because e.g.

if I have another object,

let's say a line here
and we were just

pointing this woman and I
use again this zoom extents.

What the camera is going
to do is to capture

all the drawing at

its maximum size, as
I told you, right?

So you can see here
how our drawing

now is not that big
because the camera

has to go farther
in order to get

that line which was hidden
under these Default tray.

But it is there so many times.

If you click on the
Zoom extent and you

realize that the
camera goes so far,

it is saying to you
that something,

it is drawn and maybe
you can't see it.

Anyways, I will erase

this element and let's
jump to the next option,

which is called Previous.

These previews is kind of undo,

but just related with the
movements of the camera.

So we will go one step back
in our camera history.

I click on it and you can see

our previous step was
here pointing this woman.

Finally, it is important to

point out here in this episode

that we have this toolbar
which is called views.

I wouldn't put it here.

Now, which is going to be super,

super helpful for navigation.

I mean, we don't have to
all the time try to place

the camera manually using

these tools that we
have just learned,

like orbit or pan
or zoom extents,

we have this automatic positions

of the camera right
here in this toolbar.

And the first one is the
isometric view of the model.

Click on here, then we
have this isometric view.

As always, we will have to

keep in mind the
position of the axis.

Then we have this another
option called top in where we

will be able to what our
model from the top one-click.

And here we are.

Then we have front,

right, back, and left, e.g.

if we start clicking on front,

you can see how the camera

moves exactly to this position.

And again, pay attention
to the axis in

order to know where
exactly are you.

If I go to right,

then the movement of the camera

has been towards the right side,

then back, we continue moving
to the right and then left.

So this is going to be super
helpful as I told you.

I'm finally we have this
another option which is

just select one face of
the object right button.

And then we have this
option called Align View.

If I click here,

then the camera is going
to be aligned with

that phase Following
that orthogonal line.

To finish with the navigation,

I would like to mention

another tools that
we can find if we

move over a camera here we
will find these two option,

parallel projection and

perspective when
we're navigating.

It is very, very interesting and

useful to switch between
these two options.

Normally, we will be
working on perspective.

But if I select
parallel projection,

you will see that everything
is like if we are

working in a dihedral system.

So if I use e.g.

this top view, all the
measures will be real.

I mean that it is like if

we're doing a
planned floor here,

we don't have
perspective at all.

All the lines are parallel
between each other.

So this could be very
interesting for generating,

as I said, gland floors
or elevations, e.g.

if I move to this
front view, etc, etc.

If I go again over camera,

we will find here a third option

called two-point perspective.

But this upsilon, Let's say

that it's not that important for

the navigation and
we will see it in

a more advanced
stage of the course.

Good, we will finish
the class here.

We will talk more
about navigation.

This is the beginning.

And of course,

practice will make you
more and more wetter.

And at some point,

you will not have
to think is like

driving a car and
the movements of

your fingers and
your mouth will be

super accurate even
without thinking.

Time to jump to the next
episode where we're

going to learn how to
use the selection tools.
