All language subtitles for 613241-46 - Entity info - The definitive SKETCHUP course. From beginner to expert.en-US

Hello guys and welcome to

this new class in where
we're going to start

a new section where
we will focus on

the different traits
that SketchUp offers us.

Here we can see
the Default tray.

In this Default tray,

we have different traits
depending on your own settings.

I mean, if I go over
window the full tray here,

you can adjust the trace that

will appear here in
your Default tray.

In this class, we'll start
with the entity Info tray.

Actually, we have
been learning about

this tray from almost the
beginning of the course.

In this class, we will review

the different possibilities
that we can find here.

So firstly, it will depend on

the element that we have
selected before, e.g.

here. If I select this element,

then in the entity Info tray,

I can check everything
about this geometry.

First of all, it
is said that it is

a component and it
is set as well,

that we have just one in model.

At the same time,
we can check in

what duck is placed
this element,

we can enter here a name for
this component definition.

And here we have four
different options.

First one will allow us
to hide the component.

If we wanted to unhide it,

we should go over
edit and height last,

as we usually do.

We can lock this
component as well.

Then the color becomes read.

This lock option is
the same as if I

click the right button,
lock or unlock.

And then we have this last
two options which are

related with another
tray called saddles.

This santos tray, we will learn

about the south Australia
in a specific episode.

So this is not the
correct moment

for talking about
these two options.

However, if we select a line
instead of a component,

the entity Info
will be different.

We can change that here easily,

take into account that we have
another tray called docs.

There will be another
specific episode about that.

Now we have just one
tag called an dark.

So here there are
no more options.

We have the length of that line,

which could be very,

very useful and we can soft
or smooth that line we

did on a specific class about

these options so we
know how to use it.

And then in these toggles
option, we can hide,

but we can't look,

we can't use this third option
about receives settles.

We can use the fourth one.

This is because of the
nature of this entity.

It is aligned.

And then we have some
options available,

but not all of them.

If I move on to the next entity

or surface, and I select it.

And then we can take here
that we have two colors.

These two colors
are talking about

the front color and
the color of the face.

If those colors are
the default colors,

then here we don't
have any difference.

But if I apply e.g.

this pink here,
you will see that

this first thumbnail is
talking about the front color.

This second thumbnail is
talking about the back color.

Apart of that, it is
remarkable that here we

can measure the area
of that surface.

This piece of information
could be very,

very interesting if we need e.g.

to have specific data
about our projects.

Again, hearing the
toggles option,

we have some features available,

but not all of them.

We can't e.g. look a surface.

Next entity here is a cycle.

Looked at.

This text is just

in the middle of the
screen. I will delete it.

It was placed apart,

but as it moves
through the camera,

it became a little
bit annoying cycle.

The good thing
about this is that

once the circle is drawn,

we can change the
radius, let's say three.

And we can change the number of

segments of that conference.

We can know that it can have
a very polygonal aspect.

So usually will need to increase
the number of segments.

If we forgot to do it
before, draw the cycle,

we can do it
afterwards from here,

let's say 100, enter this.

Another option is talking about

the length of that
side conference.

It can be useful as well.

And the same story
with the, here,

I select this arc and
then we can change

the radius segments and we

have the length
of that arc here.

Let's go with another
entity as a group.

If I select a group box,

then here we can read
solid group one in model,

we have the duck, we can
enter a name for that group.

This another option is
not very interesting,

but look at this volume.

We can measure the
volume of our 3D model.

We'll need to make
a group and then

just select it and go to entity.

Then in toggles option,

we have all the
features available.

If we explored the group.

Here, we'll find a
completely different aspect

of this entity Info tray.

It is said that we have
18 entity selected.

We have lines and surfaces.

We can just hide or unhide

and change the dark in case
that we want to do it.

Finally, we can use as
well the entity Info

for editing our dimensions.

We can change the color,

the dark, the font.

And if we expand this,

Advanced attributes will
find here more options.

We can change the
texts from here and

even the alignment if
we have addressed,

let's say text, enter
and we select it,

go to Entity Info again.

Here we'll find
different options

in order to edit that text.

As you can see, this tray
is super, super handy.

I recommend you to use it
in a very regular basis.

So don't forget about it

when you are drawing
in SketchUp.

I hope that you like the class.

And in the next episode,

we'll go to another different
tre, call materials.

It is one of the most
important and dense ones here.

So maybe I will have to split
that class into two parts.

So we're ready and see
you in the next class.
