I'm so happy that you are showing Wood working Sketchup tutorials. I have used Illustrator for work for 40 years and it is hard for me to adjust to 3D. You are a great teacher!

Just what I needed! After using Sketchup for awhile, I've fallen into a groove with the exploded view and dimensions as the shortcut to getting started cutting and milling. I don't add all the joinery to the model in fairly simple simple projects. The exploded view and dimensions are enough. Thx!

Thanks, once again, for your patient instruction! I'm particularly grateful for one small detail that YOU GET RIGHT: the proper singular/plural usage of axis/axes! I find it rather irksome in would-be teachers within this 3D design realm who cannot get that distinction down correctly - so - THANK YOU!

Great job on this Vid. Appreciate you showcasing this exploded view.

thanks for the tutorial. this is very helpful to people like me who is using the basic SketchUp. I will likely use this technique to present my model house in SketchUp.

I am just getting started with Sketchup. I have looked at several different tutorials. Yours are by far the easiest to follow.

Thank you. This was helpful, but it's exactly the way I was thinking it would work. I was hoping there would be a better way. Thanks a bunch for showing us how this is done. One thing you might show is how it looks when you send it to Layout, such as best views to show in Layout so it's clear to someone else who have never seen the drawing before what is going on. That's always my challenge.

Probably the most useful info I've ever seen. Thanks a million Justin. 👍

Lots of good info in just a few minutes. Haven't quite gotten into layers and scenes yet, but you make it look easy. Thanks!

Just started using a exploded view for one of my clients. i appreciated the “Tape” tip...creating paths for assembly...thank you!

You do a fabulous job of presenting techniques. I always learn something new. Thanks

Hi, you could also do an exploded model view using dynamic components. It would take longer but would look pretty cool when you click on it and it explodes itself.

That was an excellent tutorial, really clear many doubts

This video is great. Thank you so much for making this.

Thanks, very helpful

Good video. I will be sketching up a desk for my room before I get materials and this helps!

Great video, quick, clear, helpful!

Extremely helpful. Thanks!

Hi, aa it's been 4 years... I just wondered if Sketchup now offer this as an automatic function?

Thanks dude , that helped me alot and I appreciate this.

I am Extremely new to Sketchup. By watching videos I have learned how to make certain items. I am watching this one because I wanted to find out how I can explode view my projects. The question I have is the view to move things along the blue axes (Up), what buttons do I need to hold down on my computer? Or left or right? Thank you so much for posting.

Hi Justin I’ve been playing around with sketch for a few weeks and pouring over tutorials and yours are some of the best I have found. I was hoping that you could explain the difference between a group and a component for me and also what are some instances would I use a group instead of a component?

Great job. Thanks. Very easy to understand the concept and very professional

Great Presentation, easy to follow, and will search out more of you work.. Many thanks from a beginner.

Great video! I have a couple of questions. By making the items in the exploded view unique, does that break the relationship to the original component, if I later change the size of items, say I make the cabinet deeper will that carry over to the exploded view? Second, how does having items on different layers affect creating a cut list using something like OCL?

You do a very good job, clear and complete

I know it’s a few years old now but still very useful for a current project I’m working on. Thanks

Fantastic, educational video. Really puts Sketchup Exploded Views into perspective... Seriously, I do like how thorough you are with the details. It makes it so much easier when translating back to Make 2017. In addition, your enthusiasm makes an otherwise dry subject entertaining. The idea of the exploded view makes me wonder if there is a standard SketchUp / woodworking way to document components with build instructions. The cut list plugin is great for getting the shape of a board. I wonder if there is a technique / plugin for documenting processing that needs to be applied to a cut board (e.g. rabbets, dados, and grooves).

So helpful , thank you

I'm thinking you could put one layer exactly on top of the second layer, do a scene for each and when you toggle between them, It will look like it is actually exploding right? It will look cool!

Thanks for this quick tips. It would be good if you can do another tutorial but this time showing the exploded view with the furniture fittings/hardware used in its assembly. How does one normally show the hardware - is it something downloaded from 3D warehouse or do you create the hardware from scratch?

thanks for the video, that should be very helpful, as I am relatively new to sketchup. One question tho, there is an explode option in Sketchup (i'm using the free version, Sketchup Make) if I highlight the entire model and right click it shows up. sometimes it is grayed out and sometimes not. what is that option for? thanks

Definitely what I needed to see. Well presented, thanks

grateful to you

Excellent video and fantastic explanation!! Very well done. Thank you!!

Love all your presentations. Keep it up! No thumbs down here. Lol

Hi Justin, great tutorial on a confusing topic in SketchUp. Could you do an in depth tutorial on using layers and scenes in SketchUp Make, especially as it pertains to showing all dimensioning parts and keeping things organized and easy to read layout to be used in the shop for actually project construction. Thank you for your expertise, it is much appreciated.

Thanks for this! Great vid!

thanks dude. they were great tips I am about to build a workbench and I used your tips a lot during my sketchup modeling. I make sure to refer your channel in my video on youtube (coming soon) :)

it would be really cool if SU pro could do an animation of the exploded view. Basically, it pulls the object apart into the exploded view. that would be cool. Thank you for the tips on this. I have just begun learning layout

It's a shame I can click only once on the "like" button :). Very useful guide, congrats!

I know this is an older video, just found it. I have done this type of things multiple ways. But just got to wondering... hmm.. what about dynamic component, "on-click" program parts to relocate. Make scenes at both locations.... havent tried it though yet... Yep! Answered my own dumb question... dynamic doesn't work for this. It may be a list viewed way to manually explode a part but it has to be copied but unique component from parent.

I only have the online based sketchup and a lot of the tools and options that I'm seeing in all of the sketchup tutorials I've been able to find. Maybe some videos using the cloud based sketchup??

Thanks for doing these. I'm finding them super helpful.

Hi Justin, Can you make a similar tutorial for small residence (or if you already have, Pls send a link) showing different component like wall, windows and doors, roofing frame, roof etc. It would be highly appreciable.

@thesketchupessentials im trying to find a video on a task I’m trying to do in making shelves that are part of a dynamic component. I want to have the option of selecting the qty of shelves from an “option” I create and when done so the shelves will equally space within the cabinet. So if the cabinet has a height of 36 I can select 3 or 4 shelves and they will evenly distribute. I already have the model it’s the function I’m having difficulty writing. Any help would be great. Thx.

Interesting the way u use Outliner tool to manage your model...I mostly manage mostly thru Layers using the "brightman method" ....but will experiment

Hey Justin, until recently I also did this this way. But there is a free plugin "Eclate, deplaçe". You really should try.

What view would you suggest to show dimensions? Should another view be created for to show them?

Beautiful presentation.

Great video with lots of content. Thank you!

9:00 - Your guide line terminates at the shelf and cabinet side. Mine extends to infinity. Is there a trick I'm missing?

Your videos are the BEST!!!!!

I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm trying to work out which program to use, sketchup, fusion360 or Blender. They're all very similar. Did you know you can change your lines from architect thick lines to thinner small lines...

Hi Justin, another great tutorial (and I am glad you fixed the mic problem and there is no more huffing :)) Is it possible to animate the explosion so that the parts all come apart as if in a real explosion then stop and the required distance so you can see all the components?

nice job, and very clear. I would like a tutorial on also doing one but with dimensioning with the views.

Very helpful. Would be interesting if there was much more detail on a more complex model

hi, could you advice, why i see the far side of my model larger than the closer sıde? how i can fix it. it is in one particular model only. i am beginner. thanks in advance.

I am a total novice to Sketchup, but really want to get to know how to use it however, despite having watched the initial Sketchup "fundamentals" on the website and lots of time searching the countless ours of "tutorials" on You Tube, I am yet to find anything that resembles a lesson on setting up the actual interface or, explanation of tools and extensions prior to diving straight off the deep end into building something. Do you have something hidden away that I may have missed, or point me the right direction please? Cheers! John.

Nice inspiration for my projects, thank you. :)

Super helpful, thanks 👍

Has there been any update on this way of doing it? Thanks

Eclate Deplace plugin does the same work (Eclate_Deplace.3.0.2.rbz)

Love this tutorial. I just got the Nudge extension, and it would be handy on a project like this one. Love the use of layers. You could export an explosion animation I suppose? So, place them in the same spatial location, and as you export the scenes as an animation, SKU would blend them/animate them for you. Worth a shot. The other thought (and it's way more complex) is to make these elements into dynamic components and with some duct tape and ingenuity, program the components for a one click explode on that puppy. That's beyond my dynamic component coding for sure, but I suspect it's possible. "on click" and change your location on a given axis etc. This could be the non-destructive methodology we're looking for. Can't thank you enough for the great extension reviews--it's saved me 2 to 3 hours this week alone.

Another informative video Justin - Thank you! I do have a comment about using the Tape Measure Guide to indicate the component location in the model! If my understanding is correct, the Guide will be lost the next time you use the Delete Guides tool (menu/Edit/Delete Guides). I like the concept - Is there a way to create a permanent dashed-Line?

Yes ! Best instructor . . . Yup.

PLEASE CAN U SHARE THE PLUGIN FOR THE CABINET AND ALSO HOW TO MAKE THE SHUTTER ?

I do like this 'Ikea Mode! Should be a standard option.

Thank you!!

Thanks for this info! - How do you do cutlist with dimensions from sketchup

thanks very much. your tutorials are really explanatory. Please how can i view the plan of a two story building after i have model it.

Thank you!

Hi, how to assemble after circuit explosion?

If you had created the unexploded scene before you moved the components, you could show them animating into position!

Awesome thanks

What is the difference between making a group and componant?

What globals do you recommend for rendering furniture /woodworking?

Hey, Great Video. i doubt you'll see this in time, but does anyone know that if your Entity Info Tray says No Selection, does it make a difference? Great video btw!!!

Is there a way to switch between scenes without the smooth transition animation? Thnx

Hi Justin is there any plugin now to lay this out automatically on a sheet of plywood to cut on a router now or are we still in the manual stage

A button to put everything back together . . . just exit without saving, or use "File" > "Revert".

1. Always have the original merged copy prepared - Be sure to make it unique if the model is a component 2. Use guides (tape measure) to point out where each part belongs 3. Divide the unexploded view into different scene

How to "explode" mesh / object in Blender? i searched everywhere but all i get is the result of "real" explode effect, i just want to do this "SketchUp version of explode" in Blender, with or without any custom addons - scripts

Thanks

thankyou

I would like to know if there is a free plugin to make sketch up make a BIM application like Revit ??

Thx bro!

Or just use ABF plugin, you can do this in 1 second

Interesting

How can i make shop drawing in sketchup make 2017?

there's an extension that makes that. www.smustard.com/script/ExplodeImplode

TLDW: move the individual pieces out from the group manually

Well I've been expecting to see sizes..? That's the whole point of exploding view...

👏👏

This could easily be a 3-4 minutes video. Having it less verbose would be a big improvement.

2:54 undo button lol

I like your videos "but" : 1. Please let the mouse pointer linger over a menu item so my eye can find the pointer and I have time to read what you are going to click on. 2. Please don't use the word "object" instead of "Component" or "Group". Thank you!

its ok, but 12 minutes to explain it?? make it in 1:30 next time, thanks.
