That was nice and concise. I downloaded the finished model, with is fine, but it may have been nice to include the flat images that you extruded in order to let us have practice with them. I know they can be found around the web, but I like to work on the same pieces you do. Thanks!

Yeah sorry about that - since I don't own the images, I have to be really careful about downloading and distributing images. If I had a chess board at home somewhere I probably could have taken my own pictures, but I don't think I do

This is awesome. Now if the grid goes down, I can 3D print my own chess board. 😀

Hi Justin. Thanks for all this great stuff. I'm having a problem with the scaling tool. I create a circle and PP it up a bit and then click on scale but then when I drag a handle the clylinder is pulled over, in does not get smaller symmetrically. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

@Thesketchupessentials Жыл бұрын

Tap the control key to go into scaling about center mode

When I used the follow-me tool it left a vertical line on the outside of the piece. Did I do something wrong? I am using Sketchup Pro.

@santaclaus2883 Жыл бұрын

I solved my own problem, I needed to click on the outer edge of the circle before I completed the follow-me action. Thank you again. Learning lots :D

How can it be solid but not solid? Tried a different chess piece and the skirt with the notches had an arch instead of vertical walls and well lessons were learned alright. Can't push/pull a curved surface and can't use the solid tools because my chess piece was just a surface. Couldn't figure out how to make it solid so remodeled a simple one like in the video and work just fine. Slightly disappointing but moving forward

hi justin, you doing perfect job, in this case you a little mistake, in chess board, first left, down segment must be black, than second white & etc. wiith big respect, SU & chess lover from georgia :)

@felixezeogu6804 2 жыл бұрын

True !!! Lol ... In chess the white square always falls on the extreme right hand side. But the message was in using sketch up to draw not on how to play chess.

@Thesketchupessentials 2 жыл бұрын

LOL - for your chess board, do a select, then scale to -1 and it'll be fine 😎😂

@sandraforbes7495 Жыл бұрын

I made both black and white components but After I copied and pasted the squares for the board, I lost the ability to adjust each separately as a component. I couldn't adjust the height of just the whites. I could only adjust each one by one. What did I do wrong? Everything else went great! Thank you.

@shanlee81 10 ай бұрын

Same here🤔. Did you manage to solve this @sandraforbes7495?

@b-rad-go7oe 5 ай бұрын

I had this issue as well. Using Pro version I had to check the box Replace selection with component in the create component window. I don't know if this is a proper way or not.

@chityaye4582 5 ай бұрын

yes , in deskstop version, first you make white piece , then make it into group , then component , then ,copy , it will definitely do the work

Why is there no pen tool in sketchup? Very unnatural to draw this with arcs.. not very smooth either

The basic follow me tool has always been glitchy. Its great when it works, but a total pain when it doesnt.

I find the desktop version tool to be pretty good as long as you preselect your path before activating the tool. Any time you have to drag along the path, things get...interesting, and the online version doesn't seem to want to preselect the path
