All language subtitles for 613241-41 - Text tools - The definitive SKETCHUP course. From beginner to expert.en-US

Hello people and welcome
to this new class in

where we're going to talk
about the text in SketchUp.

Well, we have two tools here.

We have this tool called text.

The description says
Draw text labels,

and then we have
this another one,

3D texts, draw 3D texts.

So let's just start with
this one, the normal text.

So I'll hit on it.

Then.

We have different options

for writing our
texts in a scepter.

Basically, it is
going to depend on

where we are going to
click with the tool.

The texts will have
different properties.

If I click and release

on here on an empty space
without human tree,

or I click over any geometry.

If I click on an empty space,

one click and release,

this level will pop up.

And then I just have
to type in the text.

Let's write down e.g. portico.

One click outside.

Here we have our text.

This is called Screen text and

its main property be
that it would be,

let's say, always
facing the camera I am

orbiting and the text is
always facing the camera.

If I zoom out and
zoom in, the texts,

keep facing the camera and

the size doesn't change at all.

Furthermore, we have
another kind of text.

It is called leader text,

will need to click on release
on any geometry, e.g. here.

And then the two
will ask us about

selecting a second
point. Let's say here.

Now the label is
available for us to

type in whatever we want.

Let's type in here,

e.g. sunk, one-click outside.

Here we can say that
this kind of texts

is made up of two
different elements,

the label and a leader line.

We will be able to edit
both of those elements.

The third kind of texts that

this tool offers
us is called area

text will need to click
on any area on any face.

I will choose e.g. this one
on the top of the column.

And we need to click
here twice very rapidly.

Click, click, then
the labeled pops up.

I'll type in here,

capital one click outside.

Here we have this
new text I told

you is called area text.

And the main property
about these texts

is that as it happens
with the screen,

text is always
facing the camera.

But when the area in
this text is placed,

this appears because we

changed the point of
view of the camera,

then the text disappears too.

So summing up, we have
three kinds of tests.

A string, literal,
text, area text,

if we want to edit, any of them,

will need to go over
the model info window.

I remind you that this
model info window is here.

Click on this
little human being.

Or we can find it as well.

If we go over window model,

then here we have a list
of different things.

And one of them is texts.

We can find here three
different categories.

Screen text.

This is talking
about this kind of

text written in an empty space.

Then we have the
leader text, this one,

and then we have this third
category called leader lines.

We will use this
category in order to

edit this leader lines.

If you are wondering
where is the area texts?

The answer is that the area text

is included here inside
the leader tests.

So let's start with
the screen text.

Here we can read the kind of

type font that we are
using and the size.

We can change easily
that type font.

If we click on here,
Let's say Arial,

Let's change the size, 16, okay?

We can change the color.

We have available
different color modes.

And once the changes are done,

then we have to click
on this option,

select all screen text.

One-click on here, our screen
text is selected, this one.

And then we have to
click on selected text.

The text is still selected,

and that is the reason
because it is still blue,

one click outside and we can see

how those changes
are already applied.

Exactly the same with these and

other kinds of texts. Liter.

Let's go over fonts.

Arial, let's change the font.

Style is time, the size,

okay, and the color,
let's say green.

Ok, select all literal text.

And you can check
on our Canvas how

the area text is
selected as well,

and then update selected text.

One-click outside.

And we can see the changes
applied leader lines,

two categories, endpoint
and leader and point.

If we expand this window,

we have known dot,

closed arrow and open arrow,

Let's say dot liter.

We have pushpin on View base.

Let's click on view based.

Again, select all liter text

and then update,
select the text.

One click outside.

Here we have the changes.

More things about
these texts tool.

If I click any of
them, right button,

will find here this option text.

So I can easily
type in a new text.

We are talking about
this literal text.

I select it right button.

I have the same
option, edit text,

but I have as well
this arrow option.

So I can change this
specific leader text

and not all of them as we were

doing before through
the model info window.

Finally, it is convenient
for you to know

that if we are using
these texts tool,

it is very handy to
support ourselves

with this entity Info tray one.

We have the text
selected through

this tray will be able
to change the liar,

even edit this specific text,

change the color, and so on.

So this is all about
these texts tool.

Let's move on this 3D text.

One hit on it, and then
this window pops up.

First thing we have to
do is to write down

the text 40 go again.

Then here we will be
able to change the font,

the alignment, and
the font style.

And we'll find these
different options in order

to field the phases
of the letters,

extrude those faces this way,

create a 3D model.

This high is talking about
the high in 2D of that text.

And this, another
value is the one

talking about the high
of the extrusion.

Let's check it here.

Plays one-click and release.

Our 3D text is already placed.

And if we use here that
tape measure tool,

you will see that the height
is 0.03, as I told you.

And this value, 0.25
m is the one which

was talking about the
high in 2D of that text.

I will hit the tool again.

And you can circuit this
high is the high in 2D.

This another value
is the high in 3D,

the height of the extrusion.

If I switch off this field
option and I placed the text,

then we find that
the faces are not

filled and we don't
have any extrusion.

Because the thing here
is that you have to

understand that this text is

like normal geometry
in SketchUp.

This element is
actually a component.

We could explode it.

And then the geometry can be
manipulated easily through

the post poll tool or

any different SketchUp
tool, like e.g.

the scale tool, the
rotate tool or whatever.

Let's create a group.

Again, make group.

And I'll rotate this
text and I will scale it

as well in order to create
a more attractive layouts.

So this is all about the
texts, tools in SketchUp.

I hope that you
liked this lesson.

And in the next episode,

we will see this dimension tool.
