00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,520
Hello everybody and welcome
to this new class in
2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,510
where we are going to learn
how to use the Copy tool.
3
00:00:05,505 --> 00:00:07,445
This tool is part of
4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,620
the move tool as we saw
in the previous chapter.
5
00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:12,140
So let's see how to use it.
6
00:00:12,135 --> 00:00:15,435
First of all, we have
to select our geometry.
7
00:00:15,435 --> 00:00:18,405
For this example, we
will use this cylinder,
8
00:00:18,405 --> 00:00:21,155
which could be inside
a group box or
9
00:00:21,150 --> 00:00:23,990
could be as well, just
three-year metric.
10
00:00:23,985 --> 00:00:26,105
In this case, it is
not inside a group,
11
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:30,450
so I should select it then
letter m for the shortcut,
12
00:00:30,450 --> 00:00:32,250
we have hit the Move tool.
13
00:00:32,250 --> 00:00:34,680
And now SketchUp
is asking us for
14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,200
the first point of
that movement, right?
15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,510
So click and release.
16
00:00:38,505 --> 00:00:41,615
My first point will be
here outside the cylinder.
17
00:00:41,615 --> 00:00:43,835
One-click and then let's move
18
00:00:43,835 --> 00:00:46,295
this cylinder along
the red axis.
19
00:00:46,295 --> 00:00:48,425
But if I want to make a copy,
20
00:00:48,425 --> 00:00:50,245
then I have just to tap
21
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,850
the control key when,
whenever I want.
22
00:00:52,850 --> 00:00:55,630
So Control key, then
you will see that
23
00:00:55,625 --> 00:00:58,915
plus icon next to our Move icon,
24
00:00:58,910 --> 00:01:02,380
and we are generating one
copy of the cylinder.
25
00:01:02,375 --> 00:01:04,295
Let's type in the land e.g.
26
00:01:04,290 --> 00:01:05,990
3 m Enter.
27
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:08,180
And here we are,
basically one click on
28
00:01:08,180 --> 00:01:10,880
the free space and
our copy is done.
29
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,340
Let's see now how to do
multiples copies, control set.
30
00:01:15,335 --> 00:01:17,545
And I go one step back again.
31
00:01:17,540 --> 00:01:19,720
I select my cylinder again,
32
00:01:19,715 --> 00:01:21,895
Move Copy again, one-click and
33
00:01:21,890 --> 00:01:24,080
released for the first
point of the movement.
34
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,480
And then again, Control key for
35
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,140
doing a copy instead
of a simple movement.
36
00:01:29,135 --> 00:01:33,205
Now, again, I type in
the length 3 m enter.
37
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,940
But now if I want multiples
copy instead of just one,
38
00:01:37,940 --> 00:01:40,180
what I have to do before I
39
00:01:40,175 --> 00:01:43,745
unselect the element which
is now in blue color,
40
00:01:43,745 --> 00:01:45,605
then I have to type in
41
00:01:45,605 --> 00:01:49,025
arteries and precise the
number of copies that I want.
42
00:01:49,025 --> 00:01:51,845
You will see the asterisk
in the distance bar.
43
00:01:51,845 --> 00:01:54,365
Now, let's say
instead of one copy,
44
00:01:54,365 --> 00:01:57,605
I want three copies,
three enter,
45
00:01:57,605 --> 00:01:59,485
and you will see how a SketchUp
46
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,330
has generated three copies,
47
00:02:01,325 --> 00:02:04,145
12.3 instead of one.
48
00:02:04,145 --> 00:02:07,145
So in total, we have
four cylinders.
49
00:02:07,145 --> 00:02:08,785
This is one of the
two ways that we
50
00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:10,540
have for copying things.
51
00:02:10,535 --> 00:02:13,265
Let's explore the second option.
52
00:02:13,265 --> 00:02:15,425
So I will select
53
00:02:15,425 --> 00:02:17,725
this cylinder letter M and I
54
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,140
will make a copy
using Control key.
55
00:02:20,135 --> 00:02:21,275
Let's say here.
56
00:02:21,275 --> 00:02:23,305
Now, I will hover the mouse over
57
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:26,240
the cylinder right
bottom and make group.
58
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,280
This time, I want to make copies
59
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,210
starting from our group box.
60
00:02:31,205 --> 00:02:32,935
In addition to this,
61
00:02:32,930 --> 00:02:35,840
I will draw a kind
of ground floor,
62
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,350
which could be,
let's say, a square.
63
00:02:38,345 --> 00:02:41,315
And imagine now that we
want to create a kind
64
00:02:41,315 --> 00:02:44,345
of colonnade so we know
where it is placed,
65
00:02:44,344 --> 00:02:46,404
this last column here,
66
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,430
and the number of
columns in the middle.
67
00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:50,710
And of course as well,
68
00:02:50,705 --> 00:02:52,445
we know that they have to keep
69
00:02:52,445 --> 00:02:54,815
the same distance
between each other.
70
00:02:54,815 --> 00:02:56,965
How can we do that?
Well, the thing
71
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,750
here is to start measuring and
72
00:02:59,750 --> 00:03:04,390
using guidelines to fix the
position of that last column.
73
00:03:04,385 --> 00:03:07,795
Here we have 0.82 m.
74
00:03:07,790 --> 00:03:11,420
Then I can go to that
other side and create
75
00:03:11,420 --> 00:03:16,180
a guideline using that
distance zero point T2.
76
00:03:16,175 --> 00:03:19,265
Now, I will select
my column moves.
77
00:03:19,265 --> 00:03:22,625
First point of the
movement should be any
78
00:03:22,625 --> 00:03:26,135
of these side one-click
unreleased to Mao,
79
00:03:26,135 --> 00:03:29,305
I move the column along
the red axis again,
80
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:31,760
Control key for making a copy.
81
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,330
And then the second point
should be on that guideline.
82
00:03:35,330 --> 00:03:37,580
I can constrain the axis
83
00:03:37,580 --> 00:03:40,090
and choose any point
of that guideline.
84
00:03:40,085 --> 00:03:43,685
Secondly, I have my copy
well-positioned there,
85
00:03:43,685 --> 00:03:46,435
and now we know that
we want not one copy,
86
00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:48,230
but three of them keeping
87
00:03:48,230 --> 00:03:50,450
the same distance
between each other.
88
00:03:50,450 --> 00:03:53,180
So instead of using
the asterisk,
89
00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:55,690
I will use the seven bar,
90
00:03:55,685 --> 00:03:57,515
that inclined bar above
91
00:03:57,515 --> 00:03:59,695
the number seven
in your keyboard.
92
00:03:59,690 --> 00:04:00,770
Here we are.
93
00:04:00,770 --> 00:04:04,000
You have to use it
always before unselect
94
00:04:03,995 --> 00:04:07,715
the first copy when it is
still in this blue color,
95
00:04:07,715 --> 00:04:11,675
then we precise the number of
copies that we want three.
96
00:04:11,675 --> 00:04:13,655
If you consume too much time,
97
00:04:13,655 --> 00:04:14,755
then you will lose
98
00:04:14,750 --> 00:04:18,350
that inclined bar and the
tool is not going to work.
99
00:04:18,350 --> 00:04:19,630
I have to repeat it.
100
00:04:19,625 --> 00:04:21,805
Inclined bar number three,
101
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,050
we want three copies.
102
00:04:23,045 --> 00:04:23,905
Enter here.
103
00:04:23,900 --> 00:04:25,210
We are not one copy,
104
00:04:25,205 --> 00:04:29,515
but 312.3 in total.
105
00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:31,390
We have, for this time,
106
00:04:31,385 --> 00:04:32,975
we have started with
107
00:04:32,975 --> 00:04:36,145
the column placed in
the last position.
108
00:04:36,140 --> 00:04:37,630
In the previous example,
109
00:04:37,625 --> 00:04:41,695
we started with a copy placed
in the first position,
110
00:04:41,690 --> 00:04:43,660
and then using our 3s,
111
00:04:43,655 --> 00:04:45,755
we create that more copies.
112
00:04:45,755 --> 00:04:47,825
Here the process is different.
113
00:04:47,825 --> 00:04:48,925
We are started with
114
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,680
this copy placed in
the last position.
115
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:57,680
Then we said that we wanted
not just one copy, but 312.3.
116
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,640
Now we can erase
these guidelines.
117
00:05:00,635 --> 00:05:03,095
The exercise would be over.
118
00:05:03,095 --> 00:05:05,945
So this is all about
the Copy tool.
119
00:05:05,945 --> 00:05:07,345
We will use it a lot during
120
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:08,920
the course, as you can imagine.
121
00:05:08,915 --> 00:05:10,795
And in the next episode,
122
00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:12,370
we'll learn about this,
123
00:05:12,365 --> 00:05:16,565
another tool from the
transformation panel called rotate.
124
00:05:16,565 --> 00:05:18,245
With this Rotate tool,
125
00:05:18,245 --> 00:05:20,005
we will be able, of course,
126
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,040
to rotate things, but as well,
127
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,780
the tool will allow us to
rotate and copy things
128
00:05:25,775 --> 00:05:27,715
in a very similar
way that we have
129
00:05:27,710 --> 00:05:30,660
just learned in this class.
