I have been a SketchUp user for years but I learn a new feature in every one of these Square One videos! Please keep them coming!

Your teaching methods and explaination is excellent, you make it easy to learn Thank you

GREAT VIDEO !!! simple yet informative . Thanks

This series is a must for "eventual users" like me... Thanks Aaron ;)

Amazing, I indeed completely went past the scaling feature without seeing it! Thanks and Happy New Year!

Thanks Aaron! Learned a new feature.

Thanks Aaron for all of 2020’s vids. Have a safe New Year. Happy New Year, may 2021 be a whole heap better. See ya next year.

Never knew about the scaling ability, Thanks!

Thanks Aaron, have a safe and healthy New Year,.

Somehow I overlooked or never heard of the "scaling" feature of the tape measure. This is the kind of thing that happens when you are self taught. Thanks for filling in that gap.

In addition to construction lines you can put out guide points in space that begin at endpoints. You can use the arrow keys to lock it into a specific axis while drawing in open space. And resizing something small to much larger temporarily can allow you to edit or make small geometry that would be impossible otherwise. You get "Number of segments is too large for given angle and radius" or "Radius is too small" if you try to draw too small of a circle or arc.

Thank you! This made scaling much easier. Why didnt I know this before?

This was great!

After two decades Sketchup is still the same in terms of look and feel, and the way it works overall. And you have yet another logo, LOL! The house logo looked cute, and it was self explanatory, it showed the easiest usecase for the software.

You can also use the tape to lay out a series of equidistant parallel guidelines after you set the first distance. The following guides will snap into place. Useful for marking out a chess board 🤗

Wow didn't know about scaling with tape measure. Thanks

thank you 4 the lesson is helpfully

If two guides cross, if you hover over the intersection with, say, the line tool, a small red cross will appear to indicate that the two guides are really touching each other, If the red cross does not appear, then the guides are not co-planar.

Super tutorial

Many thanks

Useful!!!

I'm not sure when the hover functionality was implemented, but it's not present in SketchUp Make 2017. Additionally, hover functionality is supported with the web version.

D'oh! I thot you were gonna model a tape measurer! 😆🤣 I was actually thinking about how to do that the other day. Kinda like a roll-door...

i believe there is a way to create just guide points, can you do a short segment on this

The hovering was new to me. How did I miss that? I think you forgot the guide points as opposed to guide lines.

Nicely done. Nice hat too! Where do I get one?

The tape measure tool is great as a guideline/guidepoint, and the protractor is also a great angle guideline tool. BUT there is nothing for a radius guideline, and drawing circles leaves bits and pieces after erasure. How about a modifier key to make a radius guideline?? Or even to make any geometric entity a guideline only?

Looks like the hover-to-get-size feature was added in a recent version. Doesn't work in 2017 version.

Thank you, this answers a few questions for me and gives me a new one. What is the toggle (Windows) for turning on the guide function?

Longtime occasional user and have had a frustrating occasional problem when trying to resize a drawing using the tape measure, and the resize model selection window doesn't popup when expected. Think I just found the solution on my system, I use a Logitech M510 mouse and if I click to enter the new value, the resize works, if I click, no success. Never seen this documented? I'm sure others have experienced it.

I'm using Sketchup Make 2017 and it doesn't seem to have the hovering feature or scaling one dimension within a model. Is this correct or am I missing something? Other than that, a great set of videos and I'm learning a lot

How do you remove measurement lines? It's not an infinite line as it's shown in this video but a two-end-point one within an object. I needed for something and now I'd like to remove it but it's not allowing it to me.

How can you make a component with two or multiple different component or groups nested inside of it and I like to scale the main (mother) component but one or few nested component remains on its size and position, is it possible in Sketchup?

when I was using tape measure tool , the pale yellow dimension box associated with, has disappeared. how can I get it back ?

You don't need to use "eraser" to take all guide lines away. Use the "erase all guide lines" short cut.

Hello, good tutorials and good instructions. if you can, I'm not fluent in English, Somme explanations in french if its possible in under titles. Another thing, what about RUBY CONSOLE ? Can you give us some information in its structure as language, routines, functions, variables ... Thanks for you job.

where (besides the forum) can I go for additional (more detailed) help please? I can't seem to get my guide-line measurements to "take hold" when I have a guide line started....I click, release, pull and the guide line begins to move/form but as soon as I type in "MY" measurements.....it doesn't accept any. ,,,????

Hi! your tutorials are indeed very helpful to us noobs. Btw, I like your hat, but, I'm from the Philippines. Is there any way that I can get hold of that merch? Thanks

Don’t ask Sumele what her square footage is unless you’re ready for a fight.

after I typed in the measurement I want and hit enter, nothing happens

How can I selectively scale only one side of rectangle?

Your screen clarity and resolution on this video is failrly poor and quite hard to read smaller stuff, just to letting you know, Otherwise your teachings are always excellent

Effortless explanation...

Like always, an unorganized tutorial with missing main points. Hey, dude why don't you make a tutorial plan before making it? It's hard to follow your instructions, and annoying.

Time wasting
