So I've got these edges here are all straight lines or solid lines, and these are all dotted lines. And that's one of the hallmarks of the circle tool, is that it will create geometry that will smooth as you do push and pull it. So once I have this tool active all I have to do is just left-click and drag and I can start dragging out a rectangle. And notice how now I've got more of a soft look and then around here I actually have harder edges. So if I click off of the Arc tool,by clicking another tool, and then click back onto this, notice how the first thing that comes up, before we use the tool, is the number of sides. Now the circle tool has the hot key of "c." And we can also find the tools here on the tool bar, So again we have Circle and Polygon. As long as you hold down Shift, your selection should scale proportionately. I'm not limited to just red and green. So I'm going to go ahead and snap to the red axis, snap to the green. And, again, I'm just using my inferences and my snapping. And notice how the sides are smooth. 130 mm. But what we're looking at now is 3D Text which is for creating actual geometry in the scene. And if we want to change the number of sides we can also do that. To start modeling a vase, you need to create a profile outline of the vase. So when I left-click and drag, notice how it's following along this path and it goes all the way down. So instead of snapping and pulling up I can just draw diagonally, Endpoint to Endpoint here, and snap along the red axis. So all you have to do is basically draw two angles and then it will sweep out the arc. Again, I'm going to use my circle tool. And there we go. So I'm going to give this a radius of say six feet. Now I'm going to use the Follow Me tool. So if I go on a surface that's going this way, it'll snap this way, it'll go along the ground, but we actually want to place it onto the actual trailer itself. So if I wanted too, I could hit the Up arrow to align it to the blue axis and there we go, so now I have this arc along this axis. And, as you can see, this is coming together fairly well. So I'm going to select the polygon tool. We have text for annotation and text for geometry. So I'm going to go ahead and select one point, left-click and drag, say, along the green axis, and then as you can see, I can create this shape here. So let's go ahead and do this one more time so we can get the hang of it. Or I can add to this to start drawing a 3D shape. Now this allows me to add additional detail so if I left click and drag notice how I'm actually creating more detail to my object. Double-click on the Perspective viewport label to maximize the viewport. Deselect the faces, right-click, Entity Info, and Soften. We can find it here on the tool bar, it looks like an eraser, or under tools we also have an eraser function, and the hotkey for that is the letter E. When I bring this up, it comes up and looks like a pink pearl eraser, and all I have to do is hover over an edge and left-click. The main difference is that one creates smooth objects the other creates faceted objects. But that's not exactly the same function as using the eraser, so this could cause problems later, particularly if you were to export this model into another 3D app. And I can do that to multiple edges. Now, what this does is it takes a space or a shape and then offsets it to create basically an outline. So as you can see, we can switch between soft and smooth edges in SketchUp. Now in SketchUp we have two basic types of text. Then move your cursor away from the point (DON'T CLICK ON THE POINT...THAT WILL DRAW THE END POINT OF YOUR LINE TO THE ENDPOINT) toward where you want to create the next point of your square...you will see a dashed line created that will give you a point to snap to, relating the first part of your square to the next line you are creating. So now that I have this, let's go ahead and use the offset tool. To snap to an endpoint, simply draw a line. And just go ahead and Shift deselect these faces so that only these edges are selected. And if I wanted to, I could use my Line tool to close this shape. So let's do the same with a polygon. Now one of the things you need to know is that when you draw curved shapes in Sketchup, it will always resolve those to straight lines. So that's the main difference between the polygon tool and the circle tool, is that the circle tool creates smooth-sided objects while the polygon tool creates objects that have facets. So as you can see, there are a number of different ways to create curved and irregular shapes, if you just want to freehand things, you can always use the Freehand tool,but if you want to be more precise, you can use the Arc tools. So, if I were to select this face here and right-click over it, you'll see that we have under Select a number of options. You can create three kinds of guides, and you use the Tape Measure tool to make them all. And once I do that, notice how this is actually a shape. And now, you can see, I've got this right angle.And all I'm doing is using the line tool, and I can draw in 3-D. And, again, if I want to, I can start to snap to these points and use my inferences to create a 3-D object. In the following figure, you see an example of a linear and an angular dimension. We can also adjust things such as the size of the text, the alignment of the text, as well as whether the text is Filled or Extruded. So I'm going to go ahead and select that, and notice how the cursor changes to the Line tool, but it also has a little rectangle underneath it, and that tells us we're drawing rectangles. Let's go ahead and just pull it out by one inch, and you can see that it creates some additional detail. Creating guides with the Tape Measure tool. And this will tell us along which angle we will draw the first part of the rectangle. And if I go into View and turn off Hidden Geometry, you'll see that I have what looks like a cylinder except for this one face, so I have basically this smooth face here, and then this one here which isn't. So as you can see, the eraser tool is really very simple, it just gets rid of things, but it can be used in a lot of different contexts and it's a very important tool in Sketch-Up. So, if I left click on this, I could, say, type 45 degrees, comma, 10 feet, and that will make that last segment 10 feet long and 45 degrees. So if I were to say, take the Line tool here and just kind of move it along here, you'll see that it snaps to endpoints here. So, as you can see, we've got that effect. So as you can see, there's a number of great tools that allow you to select faces or edges by how they're connected or by what material they have, so go ahead and get used to these tools because we'll be using these a lot as we model. Snap to edge from radius. Now if I want, I can go back to my Freehand tool and snap to the endpoints of this and draw another shape and if I snap to the other endpoint, it will fill in that shape, so I have this highly irregular shape, but it is a closed shape and I can pull that into 3D geometry if I want. When working on a project in Sketchup you may use the 3D Warehouse or download files from the manufacturer to add into your model. So we can create an angle and a length for the base of that rectangle. Type OSNAP and make sure only Endpoint and Intersection snaps are “On.” 4. So for annotation we have things such as Dimensions, which allows you to add dimensions to your scene. One of the more important tools that you'll use in SketchUp is called the push pull tool. Now we've been working with edges, but we can also take a look at faces. So again, I'm going to go to my offset tool and go over that space that is the door, but in this case, instead of going on the inside, I'm going to go on the outside. Type LAYER to bring up the Layers palette. And there we go. And I'll click on more templates in the upper right. We've looked at Rectangle and Rotated Rectangle,but now let's take a look at Circle and Polygon. Fast rotation in 3 dimensions. Now can just do this by using the standard selection tool, so I can left-click on an edge and shift-select a face and maybe another edge and another edge, but if you have a large model, you may need to select things a little bit more efficiently. One more way to create geometry is to use the Follow Me tool. 3. If there is one 3D program that is hated universally in the 3D department here it is SketchUp. Create the last board (the front door), and make it a group. So let's go ahead and use that tool to create some railings for this scene. Now once I have this, I can actually extrude this edge or pull it into an actual piece of geometry. We can also use the line tool to draw on 3-D objects. Now, I've created these outlines just by drawing a straight line and a couple of arcs. So again I can Soften this edge, and I can Soften this edge. 1. The second one is the length. By applying Trimble's advanced positioning solutions, productivity increases and safety improvements are being realized. And then I want to go ahead along the red until I get this snap here that tells me I'm across from that point. If you use a tool, you can double-click to use that tool in the exact same way that you did before. So let's go ahead and take a look at the other two Arc tools. Now you can also get rid of edges using the Delete key, so if I were to go into Select mode by hitting the space bar, highlight this, and hit the Delete key, that would also get rid of that edge. So we can do the opposite on this object here. And when we do that, notice how the one that was derived from a circle has dotted lines, whereas the one that was derived from the polygon has straight lines. To create a new style, follow these steps: Open the Styles panel by toggling it open in the Default Tray. So let's go ahead and go into the circle tool. So each one of these faces are actually faces that we can work with. So if I snap to one of these points here, left click, drag, you can see that I can go along the blue axis. Selection and Move Tools Choose the Selection Tool (Shortcut: Spacebar), and then click on the diagonal line we just drew. Is there a way to get the arc to snap to the tangent I want? The following figure illustrates a few ways you can customize labels: Positioning-centric information is changing the way people, businesses and governments work throughout the world. So just get in the habit of using the eraser when you want to get rid of edges. Left-click and drag and make sure you hold down left-click for the entire operation. Turn off Snap in Sketchup #475099. We decided to start our series with some of the free software out there. So I'm going to go ahead, again, select this. Now we've spent some time drawing things, but we also sometimes will need to get rid of things, or erase them. Now when we do that, it brings up this little box here. Now I can do the exact same thing with this tool by double-clicking on it. And we'll get to this a little bit more as we go through the course. So when I let go of that, I can actually type in a number for that offset. So this is the base of this shape, and then left-click again and drag and you can see how I can bring this bulge out, so I can make this shallow or deep, however I want. ... All I have to do is snap it to an endpoint, drag out and then drag out that angle. Now, I'm going to go ahead and snap this to green here. So here I have a simple house, and I've drawn just a basic rectangle for the door and the windows. And then just go ahead and left-click and drag, and as you do that, you can see the number of sides on this. And again, we can have a radius, and if we want to we can rotate this tool to align the polygon to whatever axis we want. It has basically become an edge. These SketchUp tutorials are suitable for a wide variety of fields: architectural design, landscaping, engineering, and even video game design. We can enter any text we want. CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS USING SKETCHUP PRO 2020 BY PAUL J LEE Dip Arch., B. Arch Sc. Then draw another line from the endpoint that connects the top and bottom of the shelf. So we have also the 2 Point and 3 Point Arc. If they are all in the same planer axes you just need to retrace the outline. Now another way to use the push pull tool is to actually add additional detail, so if I were to hold down the control key notice how a little plus sign comes up on the push pull tool. This is kind of important. And I really just made a simple square. And there's my arc. All I have to do is select one of these hidden edges, right click above it, and just find the Unsoften option. So I'm going to go ahead and just place it here and left click. See the following sections for details about nudging your entities into the right position. Introduction to 2D to 3D Home Design: from two D to three. So I'm going to select the Line tool here, and just draw corner to corner here, and corner to corner here, and you can see now, we have kind of a triangular box. Kind of like when it is hard to hatch 3D lines. We also have it here on the toolbar, and it's just part of this pull-down menu, it's Rotated Rectangle. So if I let go of this it creates a shape. Now for the polygon tool, this is actually important. We also have another inference right about here, and that's called Golden Section, and that's the classic eight to five ratio. And, again, if I touch this, you can see how I get that inference. I could do the same here, I have this concrete here on this patio, and I can Select/All with the Same Material and notice how it selects the staircase as well. So I'm going to go outside of the door. When you select an entity, its bounding box has tools for moving, rotating, and scaling the entity, or you can use the keyboard or the Measurements box to enter precise changes. Please Note: Trimble is Closed December 24, 25, 31 and January 1st We will get back to you as soon as possible after the closure. So let's use the offset tool to add some edges to this to create something a little more realistic. The circle tool had more sides but it's basically the same technique. And, as you can see, we have almost a box. So, as you can see, we can use our line tool to not only draw along planes,but we can also draw up into 3-D. And now those edges disappear. Now what that does is it selects anything that is actually connected to that edge, even remotely, so when I select this option, it selects everything in the house but the windows and this little door here. So, as you can see, the Rotated Rectangle tool is a great way to draw shapes that are not aligned to the major axes of the scene. In this video, George shows how to use the Protractor tool to measure angles in a scene. To help you do that, LayOut includes several tools and features, including a grid, inference cues, and an Arrange menu. Now, if I want to, I can start drawing in the vertical direction, as well. 112 mm. And again, I can use this as the basis for creating more detail. I scale my benchmark to the right until it aligns and snaps to the end of my line So as you can see, the offset tool works really nicely to give you outlines of spaces that can be used for additional detail in your mode. Now these objects actually have pretty much the same geometry, except one is smooth and one isn't.Now if we go into our View menu, we can turn on what's called Hidden Geometry. It will provide you with a good understanding of the Arc Tool (A), Offset Tool (F), and the Follow Me Tool . So if I want to create that exact same offset for this other window, all I have to do is highlight this space and duoble-click, and that creates another offset of exactly four inches. So as you can see this tool is very, very versatile, it will allow me to re-size objects, to add detail to objects as well as turn shapes in to 3D objects. Now we do have one little problem here, and that's this edge here. Learn how to navigate 3D space in SketchUp, customize the interface, and start drawing. And now I've created an entire shape using just the line tool. A small circle will appear if you hover over the end of the line. The last step (not shown here) is to center the bench seat over the legs by moving it in the direction of the red axis. So it starts off with this little protractor tool like we have in the Rotate tool, and we can lock this to a specific axis by using the Arrow key. And, again, left click. Then, open the line tool again and move your cursor to the end of the first line you drew. So if I re-select this, you can use your arrow keys to align it to any axis. Now this is green because it's perpendicular to the green axis. So I'm going to go ahead and left-click and drag. We will get into some of the more comprehensive and paid programs through time. And again, I can use my Arc tool. So, we already showed you how to soften using right-click. Now typically when you draw a circle, you want to have a higher number of sides. Now just like with a circle tool, we can align this to any axis we want. So here I have a staircase, and that staircase basically has some outlines that are going to be the railings of the stair. There are times when you'll need to have text in your drawings in SketchUp, either as notes or as objects in the scene for things such as signs. If I select this blue wall, right-click, All with the Same Material,notice how it selects anything that has that material on it. Now once you select the tool notice how in the bottom right-hand corner we get a number of sides. And when I do, the edge disappears. And if I do that, I can go down here, and I can divide this in half and then maybe draw along some other axes here. In fact, if you zoom in, you can kind of see those straight line segments. So again, I can go back to my Rectangle tool and left-click and drag, and then again, pull up along green, maybe hold down the Shift key, and again, start drawing my diagonals. We're going to draw out this base and then we're going to pull out what's called a bulge. So let's take a look at the 2 Point Arc and this icon actually kind of gives us a hintas to how this is going to be drawn. Scale your benchmark so that it’s the same length as the line. So I've got basically two tools here, the Circle and the Polygon, and they work very much the same except they have a little bit of a difference. So I'm going to left-click on this and again, notice how it gives me the number of sides, and I'm going to go ahead and left-click and drag and this will give me the length. And then also notice how we can get, the second angle can come up or down. So if I go back to my line tool, you'll see that I have this box. All of a sudden it is no longer soft. Notice how this changes to a triangle, so now I'm drawing triangles instead of hexagons. Let's go ahead and do something a little more specific to this scene.
