All language subtitles for 613241-30 - Scale and mirror - The definitive SKETCHUP course. From beginner to expert.en-US

Hello people and welcome
to this new pass

in where we are going
to see this scale.

We will find it here in the
transformation panel as well.

And if we hover the
mouse over the tool,

we can read scale and a
stretch selected entities.

Actually, this tool
is able to scale,

but Miro as well,

we'll be able to create
symmetries using the scale tool.

So let's start with
these 2D square.

I will make a selection box,

then letter S for
the shortcut scale.

And the first thing that
you will see is that

many different grid points will

appear on the perimeter
of my objects.

We can hear identify two
different grid points.

On one hand, we have the
points plays in the mid point,

like this one, this one,

this one, and this one.

And then we have the
points placed on

the corners like this one
or this one, or this one.

And this one we hover the mouse
over any of these points.

The opposite point is active

two will work as an anchor, e.g.

here we can read red scared
about opposite point,

which means that if I click and

release and I move my mouse,

the opposite points will work as

an anchor completely still.

And then it's like if we're

stretching our object
along the red axis,

escape, and let's do it
now using this grid point.

The opposite is
active now and we are

stretching the object now
along the green axis.

When we are using this function,

we can read in the
measurement bar a number,

which it is like
the scale factor.

I mean, we are multiplying

the original distance
by that scale factor.

If I say e.g. 0.5, enter that
measure from here to here.

Now is 1.5 m when it was 3 m.

So it is half of
the original size.

If I repeat now, e.g.

using this grip scale,

one click and release.

And then I say to the
scale factor now is two,

it will be double
the original size.

Now it will be 6 m
instead of three.

But pay attention here
because with the scale tool,

we're gonna be able
as well to type in

a specific distances and
not just scale factors.

So e.g. if I hit the
scale tool again,

I said grip is scaled 0.1.

Click and release.

We know that the original
distance was 6 m.

And now instead of just
type in that scale factor,

zero point something or
two or three, whatever.

I have to write down

the specific distance I
want for that length.

Let's say e.g. 1 m,

then I type in one and
the unit m 1 m enter.

And as you can see,

if I measure that distance
now is going to be 1 m.

So that gives us a lot
of possibilities, right?

Scale tool again. In
addition to this,

Let's work now with the
corner grip points.

We have been working till
now with the midpoints.

But now, let's go to
the corner points.

These are very, very useful
because we will be able to

scale our object in

an uniform way,
one-click and release.

And then you can see
how the scale now is

uniform about that
opposite point,

which is completely still here.

Again, we can type
in that scale factor

or the specific length
of that diagonal, e.g.

let's type in to enter.

I didn't write the unit meters,
centimeters or whatever.

So I used scale factor and

that diagonal is double
the original sites.

Let's practice this now
in a 3D model, e.g.

here with this cube,

if I select this cube letter S,

you can see now
how any surface of

this cube has now
these red points.

And at the same time
we have another GREP,

a scale point in the
middle of any surface.

This one, this one,

this one, and so on.

That specific mid point of

the surface is very
important here in a 3D model

because it will
allow us to stretch

that 3D model along
that direction.

E.g. here, read the scale
about opposite point.

We can read on each level,

the opposite point works as

an anchor and then
one-click unreleased.

And I am a scaling the
queue along the red axis.

Again, here I can type in
the scale factor or an,

a specific length,
Let's say e.g.

4.5 m letter M,

enter if I measure
that distance,

now we have here 4.5 m.
It was 3 m long before,

and now it is 4.5.

If we wanted to scale
the cube uniformly,

we should go here.

This corner grip point,
one-click can release,

and then the scale of the
cube works in an uniform way.

Second click here, e.g.

and we are done.

One very interesting thing
that we can do when we are

working with the scale tool
in a 3D object is e.g.

the *** select one
surface scale and

then transform just that surface

because of the glue concept,

the rest of the surfaces
will be affected.

So e.g. if I select this gray
scale and I move my mouse,

you can see how I am transforming
not just that surface,

but the rest of the
3D object, right?

Furthermore, if I
click Control key,

then the anchor point will
move to the center of

the surface and my scale
will keep uniform,

but the anchor point
will be placed in

that mid point of the surface,

not in the opposite corner.

I can create these
truncated pyramids.

I have to hold down Control key,

then second click,
and we are done.

This way of working
with the scale tool

will be very useful
in the future.

You will see, Let's
practice now, e.g.

with these components,
if I select

this guy letter S and
I hit the scale tool,

and then I measure the guy.

It is like 1.76 m.

And imagine that I
want him to be 1.5.

Then scale again, I
select this point

because it is with which
I can control its high.

And then if I type in 1.5,

the scale hasn't been uniform.

So the guy, let's say
it's being distorted in

a strange way now is fatter
because it's thicker.

We can see it more clear
if I make this guy

is shorter or if I make
this guy taller, right?

The scale is not uniform.

If I hold down Shift,

then the scale is uniform.

But when I want to
type in the length,

let's say 1.5, strange symbols
appear on my measurement.

By the way, for doing this is to

hold down Shift when
I am doing the scale,

but I don't type in the length.

I can do it graphically
and randomly.

Second click, and when the
guy is still selected,

then I write down

the correct Hi For this
guy, we said 1.51,

0.5 m m enter,

or 2.5 m enter or 5 m enter.

The scale is uniform and we

are controlling the
height of the guy.

Let's jump now into
the symmetry tool.

Let's use this car,

which is a component,

it is already selected.

And if I hit the scale tool,

we'll see our skin rips in
the specific positions,

corners, mid points in

the middle of the
surfaces like this one.

And those points are
the ones which are

very important if we want
to Meroe that object,

imagine that we select

this mid point of the surface,
one-click and release.

Then we can stretch the
object in that direction,

in this case, along
the red axis.

And at this very moment,

we are working with a scale
factor in we're number one.

Like if we are multiplying
that length just

by 10.5 is half of the original.

Size. Two is novel.

And if we go into the
negative numbers,

look what is going on.

We are creating a symmetry.

Now we have -0.37 minus
zero point, whatever.

So here, the correct number for

creating that symmetry along

the red axis without distorting

the object would be minus
one, exactly minus one.

If we are doing graphically,

we will notice how when
we arrive at minus one,

the scale is like
kind of blocked.

Then second click and
our symmetry is done.

We did it this time
along the red axis,

but we can do it as well, e.g.

along the set axis,

I have to select this scale
grip, one-click and release.

Then I move into the negative
numbers till minus one.

And we have that
symmetry control set.

And let's do it now.

Along the green axis,

this would be the
correct scale grip

when click and release
and then minus one.

Now that we are talking
about the symmetry tool,

you have to know that
if I select any object,

right button, I have
this option, flip along.

Then components red components,
rain components blue.

With this tool, we
will be able to

generate symmetries as well.

But you see the axis
of the component,

not the general axis.

Anyways, we will see this
tool when we go deeper into

the components in case that we

wanted to use the general axis,

we should explode
these components.

Let's do it, selected,
then explode.

We can see here in the
entity Info that now is

not one component,
but 14 components.

If I make a selection box and

now right button flip alone,

I can flip along
the read direction,

green direction, blue direction.

We are talking here
about the general axis.

If I say red direction,

then we can see how we made

a symmetry along that red
direction as we did before,

just by stretching into
the negative numbers,

the correct scale grid.

So time to say goodbye.

And in the next episode,

we will see another tool of
the transformation panel,

which is called Follow me.

This is a very interesting tool.

It will allow us to create
surfaces of revolution as e.g.

a cone or a sphere,

among other many things.
