All language subtitles for 613241-17 - Lines and freehand - The definitive SKETCHUP course. From beginner to expert.en-US

Hello, nice people
and welcome to

this new episode in where
we are going to learn

how to draw using these
first tool we have here,

as it is the line tool,

we will use as well,

this free hand tool.

But to be honest,

the most important one
here is without any doubt,

the line tool, the shortcut.

We already know that
it is the letter L.

And once we hit on it,

first thing that we have to
do is just one single click,

release and then move
around our mouse,

then a second click in
my desired position,

and I would have my first line.

So first tip here is
when you draw a line,

click your left
button and release.

Then move your mouse till

the second point
and second click.

Because another option
could be to click and drag

holding down the mouse and then

release wherever you want.

But the thing here is that you

can't draw a continuous line.

You have to start again,

can drag, holding the
mouse, then released.

And as you can see,

you are starting a new
line. Instead of this.

If I click and release and
then I move around my mouse,

when I choose my second point,

I can still continue

drawing this shape
using the same line,

which is very handy and useful.

Furthermore, if I use this
way for drawing lines,

and I will repeat
the same operation,

one click and release.

And then I can move my
mouse around the space.

I can as well type

a precise length on the
lower right corner,

e.g. 20 m, Enter.

And here we are.

If I want to now to
release this line,

I should be asked tap either
escape or the Space key.

So remember when you
add row in SketchUp,

it is a good policy,

not just with this tool,

but with all the drawing tools.

Click and release.

Instead of click and drag,

I will erase everything here.

And let's continue
drawing lines.

But this time, I would like

to point out one
very important tip,

as is the use of the axis when
we are drawing our lines.

So e.g. one first click here,

and then if I move my mouse
around on one moment,

my line will become green,

which means, of course,

that line now is parallel
with the green axis.

Second click, and here
we have our line escape.

And I will repeat
this operation,

but this time, drawing the
line parallel to the red X.

In addition to this,

I can lock their access well,

using the arrow keys, e.g.

one-click here and
then left arrow,

and you will see that the
line becomes thicker.

So if I move my mouse around,

the line is still parallel
with the green axis.

And at the same time,

I can use the inference that

is SketchUp is suggesting mean.

Summing up the left
arrow is going

to look the green axis,

up arrow is going to
look the blue one,

and right arrow is going
to look the red one.

So this is very useful because
when we're drawing NSAID,

we can use The looking access
to and at the same time,

SketchUp is going to give
us some inference, e.g.

here, if we want
that line the same

length as its
parallel one click,

then we'll stop that line
exactly at that point.

And we can close
our setup easily,

as you can see now, if I move
my mouse along any line,

the SketchUp is going to snap
some important points as

the mid point of the
line or the end point.

Furthermore, if I choose

the line and I
click right button,

I could use this divide
tool, one click,

then the line will be divided
into equally spaced length.

If I move my mouse,

I will change the
number of segments.

In addition to this,

I could type in the number

of segments in the
lower right corner,

Let's say e.g. four, Enter.

And if I select my line again,

you will see how
the line has been

divided into four segments,
into four pieces.

This is one way for
dividing a line,

but I could do it
in another way.

I will click letter L.

I will use the inference to

start my line at this 0.1 single

click on second point here for

making this line the same
length as its product.

Now this line is a
continuous line,

but you have to take
in mind that if I draw

another line which is in contact

with this previous
one, e.g. this one.

Then I have a split up
the line into two pieces,

1.2, I will repeat
this operation.

One-click here, second click,

and then the line is splitted
into two different pieces.

So either I can divide a line or

heal that line and make
the line continues again.

For doing this, I
should just select

that it's drawn off
the line and belated,

then the line has been healed.

The same here.

Here we are.

Having your line continues.

Normally, it's gonna
be good for you.

If I select the line and
I go to Entity Info here,

I can check the
length of that line.

If the line is divided,

I will not find here

the complete length at

the same time when
my line is divided,

like in this example,

when I use the Post poll tool.

Here you will see
how those segments

become vertical lines
and divide my surface.

So now I should use

the erase tool and fix
the surface at the end.

More work, Let's jump
now into the next tool,

the free hand tool,

which I have to say
that it is very simple.

In my experience, in
my work experience,

I haven't used this so
much in order to use it.

Instead of click unreleased.

This time we should click
and hold the mouse.

Then we move the mouse
creating the shape.

And finally, as always,

we need to close the line in
order to create our surface.

Here we are. Once here.

Of course, we can extrude

the elements and
create a 3D model.

We will finish the class here,

and in the next episode,

we'll talk about
the rectangle tool,

the rotated rectangle, the
circle on the polygon.
