I've been using SU for years, but watching Square One tutorials reminds me of the basic things that I forgot or I am missing them and they will save some time when working on a model. Thanks Aaron. U R da man!!! :-)

No matter how simple I think a tool is I always pick up something in these videos. It looks like this works on components and groups. Thank you!

Square One videos are great. I am amazed that these videos are three years old yet completely relevant.

the video's are extremely helpful. so much of sketchup's functionality is very subtle and really can't be learned just by using SUp. well, at least not for those of us that are learning independently. more important, the video's are helping to raise my proficiency from basic to intuitive. to be sure, my use is very basic, mostly plans for relatively simple woodworking projects, but that is a tremendous help. i NEVER start a project without modeling it in sketchup first. and being able to model cutting diagrams is very helpful. having a plan / printout makes building projects much easier and reduces the amount of mistakes in the process. and when a project is for hire, then i can show the plan to the buyer, a reality check that i'm building what they want and a way to get their signoff on the plan. SUp is just fun. THANK YOU!!!

Lovve these Square One videos. Favorite so far has been the move tool. Keep it up please.

Wow. Fantastic. I have really been struggling with both Move and Rotate. This gives me a better and easier way to do both. Thank you Aaron!

OMG Thank you to the moon and back. I was watching another video about using the protractor to rotate things on each axis, but I did exactly what he said, but mine was not moving no matter what I did. I was about to give up. I'm looking on the right side of KZfaq at the list of similar videos. I'M SO GLAD I CLICKED ON YOURS. YOU GOT ME ROTATING THE PIECE IN LIKE 5 SECONDS! Thank you sir. You have been the most helpful. Thumbs up and new sub here.

Square One Videos are worth their viewing , that is for sure ....Thanks

love the square one series.

I'm starting a cabinet building business. Your videos are invaluable. I set time aside and my kids and wife know... I'm in school

omg thank you so much!!, I was struggling hard with simple rotations using rotate tool, this is soo much easier for basic rotations.

I have learned alot form the square 1 videos, awesome.

Another good one. Always good tips in these. Love ‘em!

Very good vídeo. Very clear to move and rotate groups!

While you are rotating, if your cursor is inside the protractor, the angle jumps by whatever is set in "Model Info -> Units -> Angle Snapping"

Your videos are a great source of tricks

Great video. Learned several new things.

Gracias!! soy autodidacta en sketch up y en inglés!! asi que voy aprendiendo!!

Thanks so much. Very clear.

Thanks for keeping it simple for us late comers:}

really nice, thanks

Thank you so much.

Boss move! Thanks.

Hi thank you for the video but I try this with a circular shape for a roof I want to rotate with a high not an angle it rotated only from one side so the roof didn't fit the building it wasn't beautiful to see

Another benefit of Rotate vs. Move is array copy. It's simply not possible using rotate handles in Move.

Thank you

Freshly installed Sketchup 2022, I can't rotate groups with the move tool anymore, any option I should check ?

Rotate with the move tool doesn't seem to work if the component is glued to a plane. The rotate handles don't appear. We have to unglue each component individually for it to function. Unless I am missing something?

Is it possible to create a bounding box for something like a sphere or collection of objects without resorting to an extension you have to load?

I'm trying to find out how to flip a door swing, (hinge side), on a door downloaded from 3d warehouse.

Im new to sketchup. I want to move a component 90 degrees to the green axis, but the component wont stop at the green axis, it will return to the original axis. I just want it to stop on the green so i can then move the component into place rather than have it return to original position. What to do to make component stop going back to original? I have trouble finding where component option to select 90 degrees which i think might solve this problem.

love it

After installing sketchup.. The work spave area is fully black....how can i slove this.....please help me...i need it very quickly

Any way I can get this file you use to make your videos, so I can use these videos with my class? Not this one in particular, but there are some others I would love for my students to experience.

and if the object has no shape like a cube ...

Thanks Aaron

Great 🎉

Aaron. I’m sure you’ve covered this in one of your thousand awesome vids. But how are you navigating all your camera angles free of your cursor. Can’t stand switching to the orbit tool every time o want to change a view.

My second least favorite "feature" in sketchup. If I wanted the rotate tool I'd select it. Accidentally passing over these damn red checks has caused a lot of accidents over the years... but not nearly as annoying as the inability to turn off inferences. Still, understanding what triggers this behavior does help mitigate it a little, so thanks for that.

I want to know how to rotate an object on its center by drawing free hand with pencil and paper anybody there can you help me?

I cant see handles of rotation help

Personally I dont think move tool should have the rotations! It's so clunky. If the user want rotations there is rotation tool. If I want to move it should just be move. I wish there I an option to turn The rotations off for the move tool

Personaly, I hate this feature. Why would I want to rotate an object if I'm using the Move tool? There is already a Tool you can use to rotate an object, it's called the Rotate tool, and it's just one keypress away. I wouldn't hate it so much if I wasn't accidentally activating this feature by howering arount these "x"s all the time. If you want to improve Sketchup please give us at least the option to disable this useless and confusing behaviour.

I HATE the Rotate within the Move tool with the fiery passion of 1,000 suns. If I use the Move command it's because I want to MOVE something. If I want to rotate, I'll use the Rotate command. Just give me the + functionality within the Rotate command please! Rotating within the Move command makes zero sense and gets in the way of a fast work flow. It's like putting an erase function in the line tool...

How about focusing more on commands and other details like putting angles with number and so on, instead of empty talking. I watched a few of your videos and your not-prepared videos are irritating instead of learning
