All language subtitles for 613241-12 - Navigation exercise - The definitive SKETCHUP course. From beginner to expert.en-US

Hello everyone.

In this exercise we are going to

practice their navigation tools.

I'm doing one
exercise that I have

checked with my different
students that is kind of,

let's say, useful for you.

So first of all,

we have to hit the
rectangle tool.

If we use a shortcut,

it is the letter R.

Then one click on the origin.

And the key here is
to zoom out a lot

because I want that
rectangle to be very,

very large, e.g. like that.

Then I have to zoom in a lot
using the will of my mouse.

Here. For instance, I will draw

another rectangle
before Post poll,

one-click and release.

I move my mouse when I am

happy with the high.
Another click.

Here, we have this cube.

Here.

It starts actually the
exercise because now I have

to zoom out if I want to
go to the opposite corner.

And that is the key
of this exercise.

We have to move from one
corner to the opposite corner.

And maybe you are
thinking that this

is super easy, a piece of cake.

But actually, I am 90% sure that

you will find some problems
if it is your first time.

Why?

Because normally if you
want to go to that corner,

you will move the mouse
in that direction.

And then you will scroll

out and then look
what is going on.

Actually, we are not getting
closer to that corner.

But further, why
is happening this?

Well, the thing is
that I will check in,

I will scrolling again.

The thing is that here,

if we want to go to that corner,

what we have to do is to put,

place our mouse in the
opposite direction.

So here, then I scroll out
and what is going on is that,

that part of the
screen is opening.

And then at some point I can
visualize my desire corner.

Once I can see it,

then it's very easy because
I have to put again

the mouse wherever I want
to go and then scrolling.

And here we are.

Once I'm here, I can
use this pan tool,

which is very useful as
well for good navigation.

So I click and hold down

Shift plus the
will of the mouse,

and then the hand
appears and I can

pan easily or the time
holding Shift and the wheel.

Once I'm here, I
will draw a cycle.

The dimensions now are
not important at all.

Here we are.

Again, imagine that we want to

go to the previous corner again.

What we have to do, there
are many ways, of course,

we could use the
zoom extent tool.

Click and then again,

scrolling, pointing
our desire place.

But if we want to do it,

let's say more manually
then what we have to do,

and I will come again
to this corner.

Then what do we have to do is,

instead of putting the mouse

towards the direction
that we have to go,

we will place it on the
opposite direction, e.g.

here, but always
touching the canvas,

not the Default tray of course.

Then I zoom out and

the opposite corner of
the screen is opening.

Once I am able to look
at my desire point,

I change the position of
the mouse and I scroll in.

This is very important
because many times maybe you

have a target and you
are trying to go closer,

but you can't
because the position

of your mouse is not correct.

On the other hand,
sometimes in my experience,

not always because e.g.

now is working perfectly,

but sometimes when you try
to scroll in or throughout,

the mouse is placed just on
the space, is not working.

So if that happens,

what you have to do is

just place the mouse
on any surface and

then 100% sure that the

scrolling on the scroll out
are going to work smoothly.

Well, time to say goodbye.

I hope that you find
this exercise helpful.

In the next episode,

we will start talking about

the main concepts for drawing
correctly in SketchUp.

And not just drawing for

understanding how a sketch
up, Let's say things.

You are able to understand
how the software things,

then you will be able to fix
any problem that you have.

You will be much more skillful.

At the end, you will enjoy more

the experience of drawing
here and modelling here.
