All language subtitles for 613241-27 - Move tool - The definitive SKETCHUP course. From beginner to expert.en-US

Hello people and welcome
to this new class

in where we're going to
see a very important tool.

It is called move,

and we will find it here in
the transformation panel.

It is this tool and it is set,

move a stretched copy,

an array selected entities.

In my opinion, this description

is a little bit confusing,

so don't pay too much
attention to it,

and I will try to explain
it more clear way.

So this tool has three
main properties.

We will be able to move things,

we will be able
to rotate groups,

just groups, not free geometry,

and we will be able
to copy things,

any kinds of things.

Three-year maturity, groups,
components, everything.

So let's start from
the beginning.

We have to distinguish
three main things here,

surfaces, SDS, and endpoints,

because our movements
will be completely

different if we start our
movement selecting a surface,

selecting Annette, or
selecting an end point.

Let's go with this
2D example here.

This square, we have a surface,

we have edges around,

and we have endpoints
in every corner, right?

If I select the surface
and I tap letter M,

that is the shortcut
for this tool.

I'll be asked to select

the first point of this
movement, let's say e.g.

this first point
outside of the square,

and then click unreleased,

and then I move my mouse,

let's say on the blue
axis, what is going on?

I am moving the entire
rectangle on this blue axis,

because as we already know,

all the edges
around the surface,

Let's say that they are
part of the surface.

Surface can't live
without the address.

So now I should precise the
length of this movement

and I could even type in this
lens on the distance bar,

Let's say e.g. 2 m distance.

Here we're Space key.

One-click outside
from the figure.

We have finished our movement.

Let's go now with the edges.

Imagine that I
select an edge, e.g.

this one letter M.

Now I have to select

my first point of the
movement, let's say e.g.

this point, this is not the key

for understanding this
kind of movement.

Then I move the mouse and
look what is going on here,

because this is what it
is really important.

If I move again along

the blue axis as far as
the line was selected,

when I am moving it,

thanks to the glue concept,

perpendicular lines in
contact with it are

being inclined and
the parallel line,

which is not in contact at
all, remains still, right?

So I could create this kind of

inclined surface just
by moving that line.

I could say that

the second point of my
movement is the origin.

I have locked the blue axis
by using the up arrow.

Click on the region,
and here we are.

If I select another line, e.g.

this one letter M,
again, first point,

let's say any point of the line,

including the end points
that is not important here.

And then I move the mouse alone,

this time the red axis.

What we are doing now is light

stretching that surface, right?

It is the same concept.

Perpendicular lines
in contact with

my selection are being
affected by these movements.

And the parallel line
just in front of

my selection remains still
working as an anchor.

Now I can type in the length
of this new distance,

Let's say 2 m. Enter.

Finally, we can move endpoints.

When my first selection
is an end point,

then the movement is gonna
be completely different.

But the thing here is how I

select an endpoint, because e.g.

this corner could
be an endpoint.

But I can select it, right?

I just can select surfaces
and lines or edges.

So if I want to
select an endpoint,

what I have to do is to
select my move tool and go

directly to that
endpoint looked at if

I hover the mouse
over the surface,

all the lines, I
am selecting them.

Even when I didn't use
the selection tool,

just by hovering the mouse
over these entities.

So if I go over the end point
and I click unreleased,

we can say that it has been

selected when I move
the mouse now you can

see how we are moving

just that endpoint and then
the lines in touch with

that end point are
being affected by

this movement and the rest

remain still working
as an anchor.

Again, I could look the blue
axis again and create e.g.

this kind of figure.

As far as this new
geometry is more

complex and these both two
surfaces are not coplanar,

then SketchUp has
created this new EDS.

Let's practice these
movements now in a 3D model,

I will place this Q
a little bit further

because I want you not to be

distracted by the
rest of the geometry.

So first option, move
the surface, letter M.

I hover the mouse over
any of my surfaces,

I select the first
point, e.g. here.

Then I have to decide

the direction in where I
want that surface to move.

And we can see here

their consequences on the
lines in contact with

that surface will be
affected and the ones

which are not in contact
will work as an anchor.

If my movement is in

the perpendicular
direction of that surface,

it will be like if I
am doing an extrusion,

Let's do it like that.

Second point, we have
finished our movement.

Let's go now with
this second option,

moving a line, I have a
steal my move tool selected.

Then I hover over a
line, I select e.g.

this line by clicking,

I'll release any point of

the line except for
the end points.

Because if I click
on an endpoint,

the movement will be different.

So one-click here.

Then again, I have to

select the direction
of my movement.

Lines in contact will be
affected by this movement.

So I could create
this inclined plane,

or if I move myself,

let's say on the green axis,

I could stretch that plane

and create this
kind of 3D models.

Let's select this second point

as the end of the movement.

And let's jump into
this third option,

moving an end point.

For this third example,

I will draw another cube,

and then I will draw

two diagonals on the
top of the queue.

As far as we have
here, an intersection.

This point works as
an endpoint, right?

Because we have a split the
lines into different pieces.

So if I say letter M,

I hover over this
endpoint, one-click,

unreleased, and then I move

the mouse along the blue axis.

What we are doing is to create

this kind of neuroma tree
as far as we are moving

just the point and the rest of

the model remains still
working as an anchor.

I hope it is clear.

Anyways, we will practice a

lot these tools
during the course.

So let's jump now into
this second property,

which is rotate groups.

With the move tool.
We will be able

as well to rotate things,

but not free geometry.

E.g. here we have a queue
which is free geometry.

It is not placed
into a box group.

So if I select the Move tool,

I cannot rotate anything here.

On the other hand, if I
go to this another cube,

which it is placed
into a group box,

I select again the move tool.

When I hover over the queue,

you will see that it will pop

up this kind of
different crosses,

depending if my mouse is
in one surface or another.

If I hover the mouse over
any of those Croesus,

then a protractor appears.

So I could initiate
the rotation.

One first click here,

I move the mouse and I am

rotating my group
along that plane,

which is selected the
plane of the ground floor,

which is perpendicular to

that blue color of the
protractor, right?

I can type in the angle,

let's say 45 degrees.

And the rotation is finished.

You should know that
we have another,

a specific tool
for rotate things,

which is this one, rotate.

But when we are working
with groups and we

want to rotate them
this way could be very,

very handy and fast.

Finally, with this move tool,

we will be able as
well to copy things.

As you can imagine,
copy things will be

paramount for us when we
are doing a 3D model.

So I prefer to do
on a specific class

for learning how to
copy them, say goodbye.

And in the next class
we will learn how to

copy any entity in SketchUp.
