All language subtitles for 613241-51 - Components - The definitive SKETCHUP course. From beginner to expert.en-US

Hello guys and welcome
to this new class

in where we're going
to see a very,

very important
thing in SketchUp.

And it is called components.

It is a tray, it is
already expanded.

It is a deep topic in SketchUp.

So we have many
things to learn here,

and it will be paramount
to understand.

It's super good if you want to

save time when you
are modelling.

So first of all,

we have here this figure.

We know that this figure
is a component and

this component is appearing
here in this menu.

We have the name and
we have a description.

If we select it,

then as it happened with

the materials are
main thumbnail would

appear in the upper part of

the tray with the name
and the description.

At the same time, we have
here this little icon.

In order to expand
our secondary panel,

I would click and here we
have this secondary panel.

I will close it because I

don't want too many
things around us here.

Let's do it simple.

Anyways, if we go down,

we have three options.

Select, Edit, and statistics.

Then just below, we
have the possibility to

control different aspects of
the size of the thumbnails,

tails list, et
cetera, et cetera.

Our little house.

We know that this little
house means in model.

So if we hit it in
the menu just below

will appear just the
components in the model.

Right now, we have just
one component called Suma.

Then we have this little arrow.

If we expand it,

will find many
different categories

and at the right side
will find a shirt,

but in order to download

different components
from the Internet.

Finally, here we have

this little arrow pointing
to the right side,

which is called details,

where we'll find more
different options.

One of them called Purge Unused,

which will work exactly the
same as with the materials.

So after this resume,

Let's draw an object.

E.g. I. Will draw a kind of,

let's say column 0.3 semicolon,

0.32, 0.5 m high.

Control key, whose
pool again, 1 m high.

I will select this area,

this face scale tool,

one click on the
corner Control key.

And let's create
this kind of shape,

which could be attractive right?

Now, if I select this element,

three clicks, right button,

we have the possibility to
make a component from here,

from this window, however,

we could use as well.

This second bottom in

the main toolbar called
Make Component, one-click.

And this window will pop up in

where we will find
different categories.

Some of them are quite
important, not all.

Here we have the definition.

We can call it e.g. per gallon.

I will leave the
description empty.

And then we have this
second category, alignment,

Bluetooth known any horizontal,

vertical slot will see
this option later.

But to be honest,

in my experience, I
haven't used it a lot.

Then we have this another option

called set component axis.

This one, I would say that it is

important because if you
focus on our canvas,

we have the general
axis and then we have

the component axes here,
much more smaller.

It is placed here because we
can't see the component box,

but it is there.

Its axis is always placed
in one of its corners.

So if I hit this epsilon,

I can change the position.

Let's say that we want
the component axes here.

So one-click.

Then if I move the mouse,

I can change the position
of the different axis,

red axis pointing this way.

Another click here we are.

Next option is called
always face camera.

As it happens with smelly
sometimes can be useful.

Usually we will not use it.

Then finally, we find replace

selection with component
always marked.

So our geometry will
become a component.

We say create.

If we turn this option off,

the component will go to
the library components

and this geometry will
remain as normal geometry.

So let's say create unclick,

then the component box appears.

And at the same
time we find here

the component in our
component library.

If we open the outliner,

you can check how here there are

two elements, Sumerian
and parabola.

Both of them are components
and they are represented by

these little square
divided into four pieces.

Take into account
that a component

is very similar to our group.

In many aspects, I mean,

we are collecting the
geometry into a box,

as it happens with a group,

and it will allow our geometry

to be independent
from other geometry.

I mean, the geometry
inside a component

works were not GLUT-2
other geometry,

as it happens with
the groups too.

This is one of the
main properties,

but it is not the
most important.

So the main property of

a component is the
following one, Move tool.

I will select this
specific corner, e.g.

Control key first
copy here, asterisks,

let's say ten
copies. Here we are.

Then I will select all of them.

I'll deselect similar
Move Tool, Control key.

First copy here, Arthur is
ten copies. Here we are.

Now we have this kind
of structure with

many different instances
of the same component.

The thing here is
that if we make

any change in one
of any instances,

that change will be done in

all of the instances
at the same time.

Let's do it.

I will go inside this box.

I will select this upper face.

Post pool, one click,

and then look the change that I

am doing in this component.

It is happening in all of them.

Let's say that this
distance will be 0.2.

Here we're Space key
one click outside.

This is the main property of

the components and as you can
imagine, is super powerful.

Imagine that we are
working with Windows,

with doors, with p elements,

which will be repeated
in our model many

times because they are
always the same geometry,

we will need just to make

one change and
everything will be

done in 1 s. This is something

that not happening
with the groups.

Let's see now how
we can interact

with our components
once they are drawn,

if I select any of them,

any of these instances,

and I click right button,

I will find here
interesting options.

E.g. I.

Would like to highlight

the possibility to
change the axis,

change axis, and
then I can still

change the position of
this component axis.

Another interesting upsilon is

this one called make unique.

If I hit it, this component
now is a new one,

is not an instance of the
original one anymore.

If I go over my
component library,

I can check here that there is

a new one with a different
name, parabola, one.

We find here as well

the possibility to
explode this component,

to destroy the component box

as it happens with
the groups explode,

then there is no box anymore,
just fried geometry.

But the component remains

in our component
library all the time.

If we wanted to delete

a component from the
component library,

then we should first of all,

the lake that component
from our canvas.

Let's erase Sumatra.

Anyways, Sumerian remains here,

and then the second
step would be go

over details and click
births and used.

Then smelly and parabola
one have been delighted,

definitely from the
component library.

However, if I select

my parabola component here
in my component library,

instead of selecting any
instance in my Canvas,

I will be able to go over,

edit and change that blue
upsilon known any horizontal,

vertical or a sloped.

And we will be able to mark

always face camera will
see this both options in

the next episode in
where we will create

a component of ourselves

and we'll play with
these options.

Finally, we have a
statistics just to

check the maths of the geometry.

Another important aspect
that we have to take into

account here is that we
have this search bar.

I mean, if I write
down here e.g.

chair enter will connect

with warehouse library
on the Internet.

I can pick up e.g.

this chair and then
download these component,

this term into my drawing.

Let's say that this is a kind of

shortcut for go into
their warehouse.

And we'll learn about
this warehouse in

a specific episode because
it is without any doubt,

one of the most important
tools in SketchUp.

If I expand this arrow,

I will find different
categories, e.g.

let's say architecture or

landscape connected
with that warehouse.

So to finish with this episode,

I would like to point
out two exceptions

about components that I

would like you to
know. A strongly

I said that if I select
one of my instances and

I make any change in its
geometry, let's do it.

So two clicks for
going inside the box.

I select this face
useful tool, one click,

and then let's make

higher this upper
part of the parabola.

Here we are. Space key.

One-click outside.

If you are wondering why this,

another particular hasn't
suffered and it changed,

remember that we
made this component

unique first and
secondly, we exploded it.

Anyways, let's apply a material

here, materials, stone, marble.

Once I picked up
my material and I

have my paint bucket
ready to be used.

Look that if I click on

the component books from
the outside, Let's do it.

The material, this
marble has been

applied on all of the
surfaces of these component,

but just in this component,

not in all of them, right?

Not in all of the instances.

This is because I apply it,

the material from the
exterior of the box.

On the other hand, if I go
inside the component box,

two clicks or right button,

IT component letter B for
the paint bucket tool.

Then I hold down
Control T plus letter

a. I select all of the faces
inside this component box.

Letter B, I apply this
material in all of

the phases of the component
Space key one-click outside.

And then these changes are in

all of the instances
of the components.

So this is the first exception.

Materials, it is not the same
to apply the material from

the exterior or from the
interior of the bugs component.

Second, exception, scale.

It happens exactly the same
when we are using tool,

I will select again

this instance of the
component, the scale tool.

Then I modify the scale
of that particular

looked at the changes are not

happening in all of
the instances, right?

Just in this one.

The reason is because
I am applying

this scale from the outside
of the component box.

On the other hand, if I

select another instance
of the component, e.g.

this 12 clicks for going inside.

Then I select all the
geometry with three clicks,

scale tool, and I
change the geometry.

In this case, all
the instances are

being modified by this
scale transformation.

Space key one click outside,

and we are done.

So remember these two exceptions

because you can play
with them in your favor.

They are, I would say, very,

very interesting
and you will use

it many times in the future.

So it is time for
saying goodbye.

I hope that you like
the class very much.

And in the next episode,

we will play with the
components and we will create

a new one using a
picture of ourselves.
