All language subtitles for 613241-15 - Outliner - The definitive SKETCHUP course. From beginner to expert.en-US

Hello everyone.

Welcome to this new class
in where we're going to

talk about the Default
tray called outliner.

We will continue
with the drawing as

we left it in the last episode.

So we said that we have here

three different
entities or concepts.

We have these free geometry

because it is not inside a box.

It is not inside a
group or a component,

which can be
considered as well as

real geometry because
we can touch it.

The key is that we can
touch, not geometry.

We have our group and
we have our component.

If we expand, they
outline their tray.

We will see here that
geometry represented

by different names
and icons, e.g.

now, this component is
selected and we can see

here how this element
is selected as well.

This component has this name,

component one, the
icon for a component.

And the component, it is like

this rectangle in black
divided in four pieces.

If we select the next one,

we can see inside

the drawing that element
has been selected.

So we can work in our
tool when directly

with the geometry
placed in our Canvas.

Or we can go to

this outliner tray and
select elements from here,

erase elements from
here, because e.g.

if I click right button,

I will find many more
options as erase, hi,

look, explode, make
a unique, as I said,

many different options that
we can select from here.

Let's say e.g. erase. The
element has been erased,

it, now it disappears
from our outliner tray.

We have just three components.

This one, this
one, and this one.

And then we have a group.

The group, the default
name is gonna be group.

And the icon for
representing groups is

this black rectangle not
divided in different pieces.

As it happens with components,

we can hide and unhide

easily those entities
using these eyes.

And as you can see,

what we find here is
that free geometry,

the free geometry we have
to take in mind that

is not represented inside
the outliner tray.

Here, we will find just
components and groups till here,

easy, but our drawings
can be much more complex.

Let's do an example.

Imagine that I select

these three components,
right button.

And I say that I want
to create a group,

a box to place the three
of them inside this group.

Here we are.

Now we have that box which

includes these three components.

Let's check how this is
represented in our outliner.

Now we have another group
which is already selected

and we have this arrow
already expanded.

So inside this group,

we have three components.

I can collapse the arrow

and then we see just
the name of the group.

We already know that

inside this group there
is something else.

Because we have this arrow.

I click again here.

I'll expand the group and I
see what is going on inside.

This is very, very important
because in many cases,

you will work with drawings

which haven't been drawn by you.

Maybe you are downloading a
model from the warehouse.

And usually they are very,

very complex with many groups

inside groups and
components altogether.

And thanks to the outliner,

we will be able to

understand the structure
of throwing in

a much more easy way a
part of creating groups.

We can destroy those
groups, those boxes,

those component boxes, we have
gas to select the element,

the group right button explode.

Then that group has disappeared
and the elements are now,

lets say free, they are
not into another box.

To understand this better,

I think that it could
be helpful if you

imagine this kind of, let's say,

organisation as something
that you already use

every day when you organize
your stuff in your computer,

placing your different files
into different folders.

Here I made this
example for you.

Currently, I am in windows

inside one folder
called group one.

Inside this folder, which could

be any group in
SketchUp, that box,

just the box inside the box,

inside the folder,
we have more things.

Those things could be
free geometry, e.g.

these files or more boxes.

Those boxes could be
components or groups.

If I want to work
with the geometry,

I have to go inside
the box, right?

Like it happens here.

So I should go to
group number two, e.g.

click Select.

Go inside, then I will
find the real geometry,

in this case, the real files.

One PDF, which could
be a rectangle,

a palm tree, a house,
a wall, whatever.

But it is the real geometry,

what I call free geometry.

And here we have another
piece of geometry.

In this case, another file.

Once I am here,

if I want to go back,

I need to go out from
this group one step back,

which means that now I am

outside from that
group number two,

but I am still inside
this group number one.

And then here I will
find another box,

in this case a component.

And inside this box I

will find more
geometry, more files.

Again, one step back for
going inside group number

one in where I can find as
well real geometry already,

because this geometry
wouldn't be inside any box.

In this case, files,

which we can already
open and work with them.

If I go one step back from here,

then I would go to the
Desktop. In SketchUp.

It could be like our canvas.

The plays in where
there is no boxes

selected, even one here.

So let's represent that
example here in a schizo,

we have one group,

so I will put everything
together inside one group.

Inside that group.

Number one, we have in Windows,

another group and another

component and some
free geometry.

So I will go inside this group.

We have another group.

We have free geometry,

which can be touched and we
can transform this geometry.

And we had another
component, just one more.

Note three. So I will erase

this element and
another element.

We have just one more component.

We go to the outliner,

we can see the group,

group number one in Windows.

Another group called group
number two in Windows,

Let's put the same
name, rename Group one.

Here, rename Group two,

component, rename component one.

The fried geometry is not
shown here as I told you,

because it is not directly
inside another group.

If I go inside any
of these boxes, e.g.

let's start with this
group number two.

Click, click.

We will find the real
geometry which can

be transformed because we

can touch it in the
Windows example,

we had two files to
different files.

Here we have just one element,

so I could draw
another element here.

As you can see, the
box is adapting itself

to this new size to cover
all the elements inside.

But at the same time
in the outliner that

real geometry is not
represented just the boxes.

Once we are inside
the group and we

want to go one step back,

we need to choose
the selection tool,

one click outside from that box,

and then we are already

one step back is still
inside the group.

Number one, we can now go

inside this another box
called component one.

If I click twice, I go in.

And then in Windows we
had as well two elements.

So I will draw another element.

Another element is placed inside

that box called component one.

Again, is not represented
in the outliner.

If I want to go back using

just the Outliner, I can do it.

I can select group number

one or even I can
select on title.

And now I am outside any group.

Like if we were in the desktop

and we haven't selected
any folder yet.

So as you can see,

using the outliner could
be very, very helpful.

Well, time to say goodbye.

And in the next episode,

we will continue talking
about another concept,

the last one before
we start drawing,

which is called reverse faces.
