This four part series has given me a very good start using SketchUp.....definitely different and better than using AutoCAD 3D, where I spent more time working around bugs than the drawing. It's great for 2D and iso drawings however. This 2016 Make works so much better than the 2018 SketchUp for online web browsers.....almost gave it up as a lost cause....glad I tried Make!

Select table-front as a whole component (triple-click) before starting to draw the 2-point-arc on the table front. Otherwise the arc is not part of the component and you cannot push/pull the arc surface to desired form.

HI ! This tutorial has been a very great means of information and knowledge on getting to know about "component" and "group" functions in the Sketch Up but i had a problem while making a side support between the first two legs as a individual component where as I could easily make the first leg as a component. The narrator says triple click on the side support (9"X 0.5"X 6") to make it a component, but when I triple clicked on the side support, the blue borders are not only around the side support but also at the both legs connected to it (the side support) unlike in the video. Did I did some thing wrong along or the narrator has missed to demonstrate a step. I would to very thankful if any one could guide me through.

the pushpull doesn't seems to work on my component for some reason

These 4 parts are very informative! I hope you keep going with more of them. I'm off to watch more of your video's!

For anyone who wants detailed steps on how to complete 9:10 to 9:47 of this video (drawing the arc and then successfully push/pulling the area under the arc to delete it) here they are: (1) click the "Select" tool (or press the space bar which is a shortcut to select this tool). (2) click once on the front board (3) ESSENTIAL: right click and select "Edit Component" [or you can triple click the board (either method should work)]. (4) now select the "Two Point Arc" tool (or press the "A" key on keyboard as shortcut to select this tool). (5) now mouse over the bottom left corner of the board until you see the word "Endpoint" pop up, then click (6) now mouse over the bottom right corner of the board until you see the word "Endpoint" pop up, then click (7) now drag cursor back to the middle until it says "Midpoint" then move cursor upwards while it says "On Face" and then type 1" and it will move the arc line to 1" up; and then press the return key on keyboard to finish. (8) now click on the "Push/Pull" tool (or press "P" on keyboard as shortcut to select this tool). (9) now move the "Push/Pull" tool (cursor) over the area UNDER the arc you drew and it should highlight the area; then CLICK and release to select the area with the "Push/Pull" tool, then DRAG the cursor so that it is now beyond the back of the rear of the board and then CLICK again to finish and it will delete the area UNDER the arc line you drew. Note 1 (why it works to delete the arc): when you push toward the back of the board you are subtracting from the surface and hence if you push beyond the back you have subtracted all of the available surface and the result is that it is all erased. Alternatively if you pull up from the surface (toward you) you are adding to the surface of the area under the arc line and if you do that you will see the area under the arc line get thicker). Note 2: if you were unable to push/pull the area UNDER the arc line, delete the arc LINE and then click on the board, and then right click and select "Make Unique" and then repeat the steps above. Note 3: as a last resort when I was trying to get this to work I (1) clicked on the move tool and (2) clicked on the board, (3) and dragged and pressed the Ctrl key (or option key on Mac) to make a copy of the board and then worked on that copy. Note 4: if you ever right click a selected object that hasn't previously been made into a component you will not see "Edit Component" in the right click menu and in that case you should be able to just draw on its surface and use the push/pull tool in the normal fashion.

When I am creating a new rectangle and set up the measurements, well they come out weird I may put in a simple 2,2 but when I actually measure it comes out 13578 1/8 ,1476 3/8 . I measure with the tape tool because my version doesn't have dimensions .Also my Mac or something doesn't want to play well with SU. Some of the short cuts won't work as they should. Half the time select doesn't work to change a tool automatically so I have to click on it maually.. I know these are probably simple pref settings but I can find out to make. the changes. Can you please help? Thanks

I can tell that the previous ones were good but in this tutorial he is missing some steps I think

It was informative. Thanks

where do we go after these 4 videos?

Do have have a video about importing autocad plas

Hello there your video was awesomw,i apritiate that.I am a sketchup lover.one thing my pc is lower version.which version should i use in 32 bit pc.I have facination in v-ray.Could you plz put some rendering basic and technique.I am struggling with that

The table front and the back are different, is it suppose to be different?

Your explanation is so clear and easy to understand! Nice software and nice teaching :-)

Can someone tell me what version he is using in here and also what version you are preferred to use?

how we combie (merge) table (group) with Table Leg(component) man?

I have sketch up 2017 and i have some lags please if you like help me how to fix this

I don’t know about anyone else but when he says in the beginning to make a rectangle that is 14”,48” my mine is smaller than his but I used the exact same measurement as his. But when I use 14’,48’ it’s the same rectangle that he made but he used inches. What is the problem here?

What do we do when we finish editing the component? after push and pull the arc, i drew the drawer inside the component.

Thankzz

Hi, I was stuck on this arch business for days. until i created a simple box and drew an arch and was able to simply push pull to 0 Easy as pie. So I locked all the parts of my table and drew the side support and arch and push pulled. Done ! Very satisfying. Question for anyone. can one display a list of all components that have been created? Thanks sketchup for your tutorials

Can anyone explain to me why sometimes when I edit a component it doesn't edit the duplicates also? What am I doing wrong?

O Catia 3D tem um recurso incrível. Quando vc precisa trabalhar sobre uma face vc a seleciona e ele roda pra deixá-la no seu plano de trabalho. Depois vc sai e ele gira. Isso deveria ser apresentado nas escolas como geometria espacial. É simplesmente um antes e um depois. Quem usa Catia 3D não quer voltar atrás pelo prazer q vc passa a ter desenhando peças. Teria esse recurso no SketchUp? =). Exact the rotation tha we can see in first second on this video.

I see you actually answer questions here, :D amazing! yay! So at around 9:05 you say, copy the front we just made to the back "using inferencing." I have tried every possible thing I can think of, and sketchup is very helpful with lots of color changing guides and pop up inference guides, but this one part I cannot see how the copied piece is supposed to just plop right into exactly the right place? There are no guidelines drawn right there, how does it line up with the inside edge of the table leg? And even when I pause the video and go back 100 times, I just cannot see or hear anything right at that moment to help. :-(

u r the awsome....i learn it clearly by watching ur vid

me encantan tus videos sigue subiendo :)

@9:40 you have to double-click to make the arc!

My only concern with learning this way is this kind of geometry will only be able to reside in sketchup. A quad based approach to this table would be a great tutorial for those that want to move up their skill goals. Cheers.

Hi there, I too am having difficulty push/pulling the arch on the table front support component. I ensure that I am editing the component with the select tool and can then push pull the lower edge. But the component refuses to follow the arch recess. The cursor readily snaps to the shape of the arch but the component will remain rectangular. Hope that makes sense. Any help you can provide would be great and top notch piece of software. The tutorials are great fun.

You can do this on sketch up 2019? It's seems hard

I can't get it to taper in. It does everything else. I followed all the steps and clicked the same "outside edge" as you and it just makes it a wedge...

Ok, I know its been a while since anyone has posted on this tutorial but, I need help. I see it post all though the posts about the push/pull issue with the 2 point arch. I have worked trying to figure it out for over 3 hours with no luck. There has to be something with the other components or groups creating this issue. Please help, very frustrated with this step.

Thank you so much for the tutorial. It's help me a lot

thankyou this tutorial relly helps me

I think that there were some changes made from SketchUp 2016 to 2018 because I am doing exactly what he says and it won't work. edit: thanks for all of the likes

While sketch up is pretty easy to learn and the tutorials are informative, I find that the instructor speaks too quickly and does not provide sufficient explanation moving through the steps. I was able to create the arcs, but not exactly as outlined in the video.

ily sketch up I am alway on it You are my hero

i typed 14", 48" but the shape was different, what have i done wrong

Hi! I did everything, but I'm still struggling to delete the arcs.

it doesnt work on the make a bow part >:(

When I try to use push pull on the arc it says "offset limited to -0" "

I logout have to pause the video like 50 times every video so I can understand what he is doing. He goes way to fast tbh

The arch will s not working for me

I am doing exactly what he does but I don't have the same result...WHY????

i got confused with the groups and the other things

9:20 that's where i stopped :)

5:32 please help me out i can’t modify two legs at the same time

Can't you just right click and Flip Along - Green Direction instead of that weird and confusing scale thing?

I did all the tutorials and there was not problem at all... Maybe it is not the tutorial guys. Just guessing.

I could only copy on my mac when I used Option + alt

👏👏👏👏

why i can't use the push and pull on the arc part? Is it because i am using the PC?

The imperial measurements do my head in

At 10:21 you said group when you meant to say make this a component

part 4 double like

Shit gets difficult when you are European and need to convert inches into centimetres and then convert it to millimetres meanwhile not knowing how to write it down. Meanwhile I need to have it finished before tomorrow. ):

I can't even start....my screen is different from what I have here....I'm not buying before having the free trial

debería estar en español

Hi

In spanish please...

hay

this stuff lame but live

hola

This program gives me a headache!

hi

You need to slow down what you are saying.

i dont under stand

Where can i download this shit?

so boring
