All language subtitles for 613241-52 - Creating our own component figure - The definitive SKETCHUP course. From beginner to expert.en-US

Hello people and welcome
to this new place

in where we're going to
play with the components.

So we will create a new one
using photo of ourselves.

So first of all, I'll
go over File Import.

Here.

I use this photo, call
myself all supported

image dice because
this photo is tau,

p and d format.

It is not that date back,

import one-click and you're
reading random scale.

Here.

The picture, I will rotate
the image first of all,

one click and hold down.

I choose the correct
plane for the rotation.

Second click and click.

Now, let's go with

the scale tape measure tool
from this point to the head,

more or less here,

let's say 1.8 m enter.

You want to resize the model?

Yes, we are ready for doing
the components caffeine.

Mind that the picture
that you will use of

yourselves has to have a
transparent background.

You will have to
go to Photoshop,

cut your silhouette,
delayed the background,

save that image in

a PNG format in order to
keep the transparency,

then you will be able to use
it here in appropriate way.

Anyways, once we have
this photo ready,

we can select it.

But look that the
option for make

a component is not available.

So we'll need to explore first,

this image right button explode.

Once the image is exploded,

the image has became
into our material.

If I go over materials,

I click on the little house.

Here we have a new material
called myself as the image,

but we don't want a
material right now.

What we want is to create
a component and now

we have the option Make
Component available.

But firstly, I will make

some arrangements so
I can move easily

these areas in order to adjust

my figure and then being

able to use this component
in a more proper way.

Now, be careful
because we don't want

those edges to be visible.

So I should select them.

I can click on the
surface right button,

select bounding edges,
then deselect the area,

then go over edit height.

Now we are ready
for selecting again

our future component and
click Make Component,

definition, myself,
description, empty,

glue to, let's say non
set component axes.

We can check that
the component axes

are placed in the correct spot.

Always face camera, yes.

Shadows face some, let's say No.

We'll see why this option
means in the future.

And replace selection
with component.

Yes, Create.

Here we have our new component.

It is already in our
components library.

And if we are with,

we can check how the component

is always facing the camera.

It seems that we have
finished, but we haven't.

First of all, our component
is floating a little bit.

Move tool.

One click on this corner,

next click on the origin.

Now it is not floating anymore.

But the real problem is
that if I turn on the sun,

the saddle of our component
is rectangular, right?

It shouldn't be rectangular.

And what is the reason?

The reason is because although

our background from
Photoshop is transparent,

when we turn our image
into a material,

that transparent background
became something solid.

So how can we fix this?

First of all, we should
go into this component.

I will go over edit and high.

Oh, I want those edges visible.

Then I will use the
free hand tool in order

to draw the
silhouette of myself.

Let's do it e.g. like that.

Here.

I will continue till here.

Then I will select this
surface and I will delete it.

Look that if I check the shadow,

that poll is not
now in the salon,

which means that we are
in the correct way.

We have to continue below 18,

that surface using the free
hand once I have finished.

And you must know
that I have used

the product projection
camera on the front view,

I could click on the
surface right button,

select Bounding MDS.

I disinfect the area. Edit.

The same with the edges
of the perimeter.

This time I would use the
eraser and I hold down shift

key in order to show you another
way for hiding elements.

Here we are.

We are ready.

We go out of the
box and then we can

check how the saddle
now is perfect.

I could select this
component from

the components library and
use it over and over again.

And if I go over edit,

you will see that from here,

I can still change
the option about

shadows faced some,
Let's click it.

If I orbit now around
my components,

you will see that at some point.

So those are not matching

with our components
with our fingers.

However, if I unclick this
option shadows face sun,

then our shadows will match
again with our fingers.

So my recommendation here is not

used these shadows
face son option.

Finally, we have
the possibility to

change this another
feature, blue two,

we said nine, but we can say

any horizontal,
vertical, or sloped.

Let's create first one,

vertical plane, e.g. this one.

Then I will say that I want

my component blue
to vertical plane.

Once I have changed
this Bluetooth option,

and I go over, select,

I, take another component
and I move around my Canvas.

Look that my component is
glued to this vertical plane.

Now it is perfectly place
in that vertical plane.

In this case, when we are
talking about a human being,

we will not use it.

But now you know the
sense of these two.

So I will erase this guy.

Edit, glue to non is
the correct one here.

So I hope that you
liked this class.

I encourage you to do it
with an image of yourself.

I see you in the next episode.
