All language subtitles for 613241-37 - Exercise greek column - The definitive SKETCHUP course. From beginner to expert.en-US

Hello guys and welcome to this
new class in where we are

gonna do an exercise about
drawing Greek column.

You can see on the screen

the image that we
will try to reply.

This time, we will not support

ourselves with measures
just with the image.

And our model will have to

be as much proportional
as we can.

So we will start
drawing the base,

this square base first,

then those circular Donald's.

Then we have the column itself,

which is a little bit
inclined to the interior.

Then again we have
the Donald's and

another cube on the
top of the column.

You will see that the
exercise is quite

complete because we will have to

use a lot of the tools that
we have already learned.

So let's start drawing

the base rectangle
tool, one click.

And the measures here will be,

let's say 1.5 per each side.

So 1.5 semicolon, 1.5
enter postpone tool.

Here.

The high, let's say 0.4 m. We
have in this case the lady,

the human being in order to give

us the scale the humans kill,

this column will
be big and strong.

So second step, I will make
a loop with this cube.

And let's start
with the Donald's.

Pay attention here
because we'll need to use

the Follow me tool as far as

the SDS of this
cylinder are curved.

So let's start drawing here
a cycle letter C, sites.

You can choose 50 or 100.

I will say 100 is time.

I want my circle to
be very, very smooth.

Then I need to
find the center of

this cube and I can do it
through the iterations.

So I'll go to this midpoint.

I move myself along
the red axis.

I do exactly the same
here, mid point,

and I move along the green axis,

and I found the center of

this cube without
drawing any line.

One-click, then I
need the radius.

The radius will be 0.55.

And here we have our site.

Very smooth because it has
100 sites, 100 segments.

Now pay attention here because

we will need to use
the Follow me tool.

This kind of donuts
has its sights curve.

So if we just
extrude this phase,

we will get a cylinder,

which we don't want it, right?

So first thing
that we have to do

is to draw a section plane of

that donuts and then use

this cycle as the path
of the Follow Me too.

Let's do it. Letter
L for the line tool.

Then I'll find the
center of the cycle.

One-click, I move along the
green axis this time and I

hold down shift key in order
to block that direction.

When I find the intersection
with the cycle,

second click and I move
along the blue axis.

This time, 0.2 will
be this high, 20 cm.

Then I move again
along the green axis.

I blocked that we axiom and I

close easily this section plane.

Now, I will use the arc to

be more precise, two-point arc,

I would say that it
is up to you how much

curved you want
your donuts to be.

So let's say that e.g.

first click could be here.

Second click here, and
click on the mid point.

I didn't change the number
of sides of this arc,

so I find it too much polygonal.

One is the back control
set to point arc again,

24 is not enough,
let's say 51st.

Click, second click
and click. Good.

Now time for using
the Follow me tool.

Firstly, I have to
select the path.

Then I hit the tool,

follow me and I click on
the surface. Here, e.g.

here we have our donut.

We can erase the left overs.

Even this cycle here.

We don't need it anymore.

And this line can
be erased. It too.

I will select the
complete object

right bottom reverse faces.

And I will make a
group here as well.

Let's go with this second
donut letter M. And

I will make a copy by
clicking Control key.

This second donut, we can check

that it is a little bit smaller.

So I'll use the scale tool.

One click on this corner,

I hold down Control
key in order to

fix the center in the
middle of this cube.

And then pay attention
here because

this second click will
be random, e.g. here.

Now before selecting
anything else,

I will type in the
correct scale, 0.9.

Enter this object now is a
little bit smaller and it

is perfectly aligned with
the center of the column.

Now, I need to place it
just over this first.

Known it.

So I'll go over camera,
parallel projection,

front view, letter M. I will
select this precise point.

I will move myself
along the blue axis,

and I will select any point

on the surface of the doughnut.

Here we are.

I can orbit and check
that everything is right.

Everything seems
okay, except for

the fact that this
second object,

it is too high, right?

So let's change that scale.

I will distort the high just by

changing the scale
through this rap points.

I moving myself along
the blue scale axis.

I will type in 0.5.

Let's make another copy,

letter M, Control key.

We repeat the same action
with the scale tool using

the Control key for fixing
the center randomized scale.

And then 0.9 enter letter M.

We go again over the
front view and we

repeat exactly the same
process as before.

Here we are. We have our
base already modeled.

Let's go now with the column.

We can check that the column has

more or less the same radius,

a little bit less.

And then the big difficulty
here will be to model

this stretch marks alone
all the perimeter.

Let's start by
measuring these radius.

One click on a
tape measure tool.

If we don't find here the
center of this cycle,

let's try to go inside

this group and then repeat
the same operation.

Hover over the circumference.

Few seconds, then go to
the center and we can

check that we're not

recognizing the
center of this cycle.

This would be because we have

changed the shape with
the Follow me tool.

And now Sketchfab
is not recognizing

this object as a normal cycle,

we have to find a solution.

One solution could be
to use this queue.

By using the tape measure tool.

I will draw some guidelines.

I'd click on the x-ray and
then another guideline,

vertical one on
this intersection.

I will erase this
horizontal ones

and I will keep the
US the vertical,

which for sure would be very,

very useful now
and in the future.

Because let's say that it is

the central vertical
axis of this column.

And besides this, on
this intersection,

we will find the center
of any of these donuts.

Furthermore, if I even
want to mark that center,

I could use a guide point.

I select the guide 0.1.

It is draw one,

and I will place
it exactly here on

this intersection
point in order to

mark clearly where
is that center?

Okay, so we were trying
to measure that radius.

One-click 0.4 m,
that is the radius.

Let's draw the base
of the column.

Cycle tool.

One click zero point,

let's say 39 because it
is a little bit smaller.

Push-pull tool, 3 m high.

Now let's go through
those stretch marks.

This will be a little
bit difficult.

So pay attention here.

First thing that I want
you to do is again,

to use the guidelines letter T.

I will use a guideline in
this green axis direction.

And I want that
guideline go over

the center of this top
surface of the column.

Then again, the same,

but in this
orthogonal direction.

We have here now
I kind of clock,

Let's say that this
is 12th, 36.9.

And I am saying this
because we're going to

use the rotate tool,

but adding a copy and
not just one copy,

but 24 copies because we want

24 stretch marks around
this conference.

So we'll start placing here
our first stretch mark,

and then we will copy that
stretch mark once here.

And we will repeat
that copy 23 times

for completing all
their circumference.

Let's start again to point
out sites 24 is not enough.

Let's say 50 will
go to this point.

And we'll try to be here
very, very precise.

So I will use the guideline,

0.02 on the right side

and the same distance
on the left side.

Then two point arc.

First click here,
second click here,

and the third click,

let's say 0.02 m. Again.

This window pops up,

but it is not important.

We accept it and
we can keep going.

So what I'm gonna do with
this arc here, well,

I will use the boost pool
tool in order to do and

negative extrusion and
subtract this geometry.

This way I will create a
kind of a stretch mark.

It's not always about
adding geometry,

but sometimes it's easier
to subtract the geometry.

Good.

Now I can erase
these guidelines.

Look that here we have
our graphic card error.

This is because we are using

the parallel projection camera.

So let's say it's
over perspective.

And now I will select this
arc here to select it.

Hit the rotate tool.

Pay attention here
because this is

the most difficult
part we need to

fix the center of that rotation.

The center will be the
center of the circle and

the protractor has to be
in this blue color, right?

So it is correct.

So I can click and release.

We fix this first axis by
clicking this second point.

And then we move ourselves
to the right side.

And we got to fix the
angle of this rotation.

But we don't want to
move this stretch smart.

We want to make a copy.

So I will click Control,

and here it is, this first copy.

What is the angle that we want?

Well, here we have
to do some math.

We want 24 stretch marks,

and we have 360 degrees
in this circumference.

So 360/24 is 15 degrees.

I can type in 15 Enter.

And here we have our copy
perfectly placed on our object.

But we haven't
finished yet before

unselect or selecting
anything else.

We have to type in

arteries and the number
of copies that we want,

in this case 23 because the
original is the 24th Enter.

Here we have all the stretch
marks already drawn.

Next step would be to
make those extrusions,

those negative extrusions
over and over again.

But for doing any of
these extrusions, first,

I need to check that
the area is correct,

that this arc is closed,

this phase is closed.

Here.

Look that it is
not closed at all.

Here it is, but here it's not.

This is because sometimes when

we are using the side clouds,

the conferences are not perfect.

We know that they are
not curves but polygons.

And then we can find this kind

of errors and we have to fix it.

Letter L.

And we draw this little line

that we need for
closing this phase.

Once the face is
close, Post poll,

zoom out and I can easily
do my negative extrusion.

I repeat this axiom
here by clicking

twice rapidly. Again here.

Let's hope that we
don't have to fix many

more faces once we have
finished our task,

this will be the
aspect of our column.

Then we'll need two
inclined that column

towards the interior, right?

How can we do that?

Well, first thing is to
raise this guideline.

And then I will
select this area,

this phase in order to hit the
scale tool and look that I

am just scaling this surface
thanks to the glute concept.

If I change the scale

of these elements are
just in the center,

in the middle by holding
down Control key,

look that I can incline

all the column towards the
interior or the exterior.

So again, I will click for
the second time randomly.

And now I'll type
the correct scale.

Let's say 0.8.

Here we can take our column a

little bit inclined
towards the interior.

We have those lines like

leftovers that should
be erased. Of course.

Let's make our group and let's

place the column on
the correct spot.

So I will grab the center.

First click here, and the
second click is already marked.

So it is super easy.

We are close to
finish the exercise.

Let's go with this top
part of the column.

I'll use this same donuts.

I select the first one.

I move it along the blue axis,

and I make a copy camera.

Parallel projection,
top view, scale tool,

hold down Control
key, one-click,

and let's fix this download
more or less here.

Second click.

And we move our say,

along the blue axis on this
top part of the column.

Here it is.

Maybe we need this donut
to be a little bit bigger.

Scale again, hold down
Control key, let's say 1.1.

Here we are.

It looks okay.

Let's make a copy.

One click and release.

We constrain the axis
scale tool again,

Let's distort this CEP
along the blue scale axis.

I type in to that is the
scale factor this time.

And finally, that's model

that Q I hit the rectangle tool.

Once the rectangle
tool is selected,

I will tap Control
key in order to draw

that rectangle from the
center of the rectangle.

Here we find the
intersection point,

which is the center.

One-click and I move
myself in any direction.

One semicolon, 1 m,

postpone tool, 0.2 m.

Here we are.

It is more or less, okay?

We can make a group
with this cube as well.

And we could say that

the colon is already
finished, right?

Camera perspective.

We can watch it even
better right now.

I really hope that you'd
like the exercise.

And if you have any doubt,

don't hesitate to
leave a comment.

And I will respond to
you as soon as possible.
