All language subtitles for 6 - Introduction to Sketchup Interface Quick Tutorial to Get Started English

Hey, guys, welcome to the first section of the course, which is an introduction to SketchUp, SketchUp

was a very simple software to use, so we're going to jump right into it and learn the basics.

By the way, the reason why we noted this image is because in Iraq, with the camera from outside it,

Mitros back in the recording.

I like to kick things off.

Let's open up sketch so W's like sketch up granny, do I need to open it up?

Now, as soon as you open SketchUp, this is the first dialog box which opens up.

You needed choose your appropriate units.

So what the schools are going to be using architectural millimeters.

And for those of you who are not familiar with addiction, mm.

No worries, I will be converting them to feet and inches.

Every now and then, I have good experience working bought in feet and inches and millimeters.

As an architect in Bangalore, India, I like to start things off.

Let's open architectural minuto so you can just click on it and it opens it up.

So as soon as you open the sketch up, this is what shows up, which is our top menu and our right default

tree.

And I left large to set.

But in some of your cases, the large tool said bar doesn't show up.

So in that case, what you can do is go to view.

Go to toolbars.

Now, search for a large tool shed, but you can type L just select anywhere and type in goes to large

tools, it switches on.

So that shows up on the left and then click on close and or you can dockett to the left as well.

All right.

So to kick things off, I'm going to show you the main tool in sketch over you're gonna use a lot,

which is our Sellick tool, which is this black most pointer on the screen.

And this is our canvas.

So we're gonna do a lot of the modelling.

And this, of course, I don't know what a name is, but generally every version has a new sketch out

figure.

I think her name is Laura, so we can delete a lot.

No, she can select using your select to select Laura and click on delete on your keyboard.

You can press controlled easy to undo.

In case you want to bring back what you've accidentally deleted.

And you can also delete stuff using the eraser tool.

So I'm going to start using a lot of shortcuts in this course because shortcuts is the right way to

model and also makes you more efficient.

As a 3D modeling machine.

So press E on your keyboard to activate.

There is a tool.

And now if you left, click and just drag whatever comes in, the bot of there is a tool gets deleted.

You can also see no, I mean it is a tool.

And if I want to switch back to the Sellick tool, I can simply press space but on my keyboard.

So that reverts back to those selected.

And also you can see that I'm orbiting to orbit.

We use the middle most button so you can simply click on the middle most button and hold and then drag

left to right.

So this helps an orbiting within your scene.

And we also have Ben.

So when you orbit and when you hold shift on your keyboard, it converts to Ben.

And you can easily find within your scene as well to play around with orbit.

And Ben, we're going to use that quite a lot in this course as well.

So we're going to start off with the basic modeling tools in sketch up our first tool as the line tool

so we can select the line tool from our default rate on the left, which is line or I would suggest

that you use to shortcut, which is able to activate the line to know the line tool activated.

You can click once.

Is the origin of the line.

And now you can click the second time.

And then that creates a line.

You can also create line at a certain distance or type again to activate the line tool.

Let's draw a line from you.

Now I'm going to give a distance of around thousand Amum, which is one meter.

So Dipen thousand.

And then press enter.

So this line is thousand seven.

And you also notice that when I was drawing the line, that it drew on the green axis.

So there's three main axis in sketch out, which is your green axis, your red axis, Ando blue axis.

And you can always snap to these axis where he modelling and sketch up.

So I'm going to delete this line.

I'll press along the keyboard to activate the line to log in.

So click anywhere on the canvas.

Now, if you want to snap it to the green axis, we use the left arrow key.

So the left arrow keys snaps into the green axis and Augean.

You can type in your value and you can see that better.

Well, I Holwell.

It always locks it to the green axis.

So now I want to type in my value again, thousand five hundred.

So that's thousand find them, which is five feet thousand of members is around three feet, four inches.

Now, I'm going to draw another line this way, no, to snap it to the red axis, I'm going to use the

right rocky.

So it snaps it to the red axis.

And again, I'm going to type in my value, which is thousand eight hundred M-M, which is around six

feet.

And now back to this axis, now I'm gonna press left arrow key to snap it to the green axis and now

you can notice that I can snap it to the edge of this line instead of typing in the value again.

So now I'm going to simply use this edge as a point of reference and click.

So it creates a line which is doesn't find a lemon.

And finally, if you click your again to close, it creates a face on your Chacho model as well.

So every object in SketchUp has a face, an edge.

So this is the face.

And this is the edge.

Now you should double click on the face.

It's elex both those faces and edges.

Now, the most important in sketch up is making a group because we're gonna be using groups quite a

lot in this course.

And is paramount to modeling efficiently and SketchUp.

So double click on the face with select support the lines and edges.

If you select only the face and click, you cannot make a group.

So make sure you double click to select both the faces and edges.

All right, click and click on Make Group.

So that makes a group no go into the groups or to go and tell the group.

Now you can see that this group is a single entity.

It's not to operate.

As I'm clicking once, so to enter the group.

You can simply select a group first and then double click to enter the group.

So you can see that your peers, Daschle and I'd say that means that we are inside a group.

And now I'm going to give a projection, which is our first 3D and the model.

So to make a projection in the model or a APUSH, we use a Push-Pull tool.

So Presby to activate the Push-Pull tool or you can click on the Push-Pull do it from a large toolset.

It's also part of the menubar as well.

So now I'm going to select US surface and you can see that when our halwa.

It starts to create an explosion.

We can type in a value for our extrusion and Dipen thousand five hundred Amum.

And it creates a height of thousand five hundred M.

So this is our box.

I'm going to press escape to exit the group.

So, again, you can see that since it's part of a group.

It's a single entity.

And when you press eraser tool and drag, the whole entity gets deleted.

So that's the importance of a group.

Let me just show you, Brenda's group is not a group.

And when it's exploded, I'm gonna make a copy and also to make a copy.

You press em.

So Em is the move to suppress em, to activate the move tool.

You can see that this is the move.

Press control to make a copy.

You can see that the move tool has an addition sign added to it.

So now I'm going to use this reference point so it starts to move the box.

The control key is to make a copy for press control again.

Tremosa addition sign and you cannot make a copy, but it does move it because we are using the move

tool.

So press control to make a copy and then place the group.

So we have two copies.

No.

Now I'm gonna explode this group.

So select this group.

Right.

Click and click on.

Explode.

So now, if you use the as a tool and let's say you delete this line, this line and this group, you

can see that the rest of these entities remain in place.

And this group gets deleted in its entirety.

So it's important that you model in groups because when you model a larger building and larger space.

And if they are not in groups, you're going to end up with a lot of extra lines and edges.

There are various other important positives to making groups as well, which I will be explaining in

this course.

So that is a small introduction to Chacho up in the next video, we're going to talk about components,

rectangles, Sokol's and the other relevant tools which we use.

And we're also going to be assigning shortcuts, some really cool shortcuts, which is going to improve

your workflow as well.

So it's you guys in the next video shows.
