All language subtitles for 613241-35 - Exercise vase - The definitive SKETCHUP course. From beginner to expert.en-US

Hello people and welcome
to this new class

in where we're going
to do an exercise,

in where we are going to
practice tools as the arts,

the offset tool and
they follow me tool.

Our goal will be to draw a base

in three d. We will
support ourselves with an,

a specific image which

of course is attached
with the course.

So first of all, we have
to go over file and

import will click on here
on the base J peg image,

all supported image
types import,

as we already know,

first click on the iridium and

then we can choose
a random skill.

The image is on
the ground floor,

and now it's up to you
if you want to work on

the ground floor or maybe you
prefer to change the plane.

This is up to you in order to

change a little bit our habits.

This time I will work
on the vertical plane.

So once the image is
selected, Rotate, tool, one,

click and hold, I choose

the correct plane
for that rotation.

In this case, the red
plane is okay for me.

I released second click,

third Click, Here we are.

I will erase this lady and
we are ready for drawing.

So let's go over camera
parallel projection.

And here we'll choose
not top but front.

Now the first step
will be to draw

a section of this vase in

order to use the
following me tool

afterwards around
a circular path.

This way we will get a 3D model.

So line tool, letter L,

I will start here in the middle,

because we have a symmetry,

I will draw just one
half of the base.

This element is
completely horizontal,

don't trust to match the photo.

We know that this surface
is straight, so till here.

And now it is high time
for using the arc.

This exercise is
thought in order to

make you practice this arc tool.

Or in other words,

to learn how to use or how
to draw curves in SketchUp.

So arc will use
the two point arc,

first two here, second
click More or less here.

But I forgot one
important step to

change the number of
sides of this arc.

So I will press Escape.

I will choose another tool
as the Selection Tool.

Again, Arc tool sides 12th,

let's say 20 for the double.

Now I am ready.

Again.

One-click, second click
More or less here I move

the arc in order to adapt my
curve to the photography.

Here could be okay.

So third click, unreleased here.

Second part of the curve,

first click and release.

We can see that blue color,

which means I remind
you that that

curve is going to be tangent
to the previous one.

We can adapt here,

are curved to the
profile of the base.

Second click here.

Click here without any movement.

Let's keep going.

Third curve, one-click that see,

the second click could
be more or less here.

And third click.

Pay attention to that message is

not important at all for Claire.

One-click and you can
see here that maybe

our curve is not
so precise, right?

If I want to be tangent to

the previous one and follow
the profile of the various,

I am not, let's say being
very, very precise.

Well, maybe here,
Let's try here.

If not, you can go one step

back and draw the previous
curve in a different way.

I will try with this curve.

Here we are. And I
keep going, Not bad.

My suggestion here
is to try to draw

this vase with the
minimum amount of curves.

If you use a lot of curves,

the final result will be,

let's say not that
continuous us.

If you are able to use the hash,

let's say four or five,

a minimal amount of curves.

So here I will try to
go till the end, e.g.

here, now line, because
here we can see a curve,

but this is because
of the perspective.

If we're drawing
our gut playing,

we know that here the base is

completely a
straight right here.

We could block the red axis
by clicking the right arrow.

Then I take this reference
and I close my section plane.

Now we have this
half of the base.

But you have to think that
this vase is not a solid.

Actually, it is empty inside.

It has some kind of thickness,

but the interior of course,

has to be empty.

It might be that we
want to put inside

some flowers or
whatever letter F.

And we hit the offset tool.

We hover over this phase

and it lights up,
one-click and release.

And let's choose this
thickness using,

let's say our intuition,

it is not needed
to be completely

precise because we don't
have actually that measure.

Now we have to fix a little bit

this profile letter
L. And I will fix

This bottom of the base
and the upper surface in

order to create the
whole E for the eraser.

And now I can be
laid the left overs.

Here we are.

Now we are totally ready for
using the Follow me tool and

create a kind of
surface of revolution.

But we need our path, right?

So we could hide e.g.

this image right button height.

We hit the cycle tool,

we change the number of
sites, let's say 50.

Eye orbit a little bit,

one click on the
center of that cycle.

Second click. Once
we have our path,

it is high time for using
their Follow me tool.

So first thing that
we have to do is to

select the path, then follow me.

And then we hit on

the surface that we want
to follow that path.

Here.

Maybe we have to
wait a little bit

because SketchUp has to think.

So here we are.

The base is already done.

We have an empty space
in the interior in

order to play as
flowers or whatever,

we could reverse phases by

selecting everything right
bottom reverse spaces.

We could make a group here and

place it exactly on
the ground floor.

Because if I select
the front view,

we can see that it is
floating a little bit.

We could even scale it,

because now if I measure
the height of these ways,

it is 4.77 m.

It is a lot, right?

Let's re-scale the various

them using the
tape measure tool.

If it pops up the icon of

the guideline near our
tape measure tool,

then we have to tap control.

Second click on the
top of the vase.

We introduce them in
the correct measure,

let's say 0.4, enter
this window pops up.

You want to resize
the model? Yes.

And now we have the vase
in the correct size.

Now, if you want to set
the file, go over File,

Save As this is all,

I hope that you like the class.

If you have any doubt,

don't hesitate to
leave a comment

and I will respond
as soon as possible.

And in the next episode,

we will do another exercise
where we will keep

practicing all the tools that
we have learned till here.
