Today we're looking at Groups! We're diving into everything about Groups - what groups are, where they are, and why you should use them.

Aaron this video was very good as usual. MORE IMPORTANTLY as a new Sketchup user I am beyond thrilled to find YOU as a teacher. Your approach to your videos is absolutely perfect for my learning needs. I have been consumed with Sketchup for the past 30 days and after finding your content my learning has skyrocketed. Thank you so much and please continue with your concise videos that have a complete lack of ambiguity. You have opened up the world of 3D to me.

Groups and components are basically the same with the only difference that when you make any geometry a component and then you make copy of that geometry, then in this case, whenever you make change in any one copy of your geometry, all the other copies get affected in the same way. For eg. If you have made 10 feet high wall a component and then make copies of it, then if you reduce the height by 2feet in any one copy of the wall, then all your walls ( copy ) will get reduced by 2 feet

It helps in reducing the time when you might have to edit the same thing by same measurement. And if you don't want your copy to effect other copies, then you can simply right click on your geometry that you want to specifically edit and make it 'unique'. By doing this, your geometry will not effect other copies of it and instead will become a new component.

Great video. Why can't you create a group of one entity? For example a single edge that has been created as reference geometry. Also some discussion of why you would use tags for visibility vs controlling visibility in the groups via outliner. Also, is there any way to see lists (ideally with the outliner- but it doesn't do it) of the discreet entities that make up a group, or are loose in the model? Seems there should be an extension, or a future feature?

I have been using sketchup for over 10 years and I am really enjoying these square one vids. Is it possible to create a poll so we can revert the name tags back to layers. We are CAD users not graphic designers.

Might be worth noting that if you explode the group from the cube that you rotated inside of the group and then highlight it and make it a group again, the container will match the angle of the cube and not be square to the axes as it was before.

this is funny, but I'm going back to the basics. I've been using Sketchup for a few years already and when you return to elemental things, you learn new things. looking. forward to learn more

Very helpful. As a beginner, I still struggle to understand the nuances of clicking into geometry (grouped and ungrouped). Most commonly when trying to modify a part, I end up creating new lines and surfaces on top of the existing part. I'm also not effective at merging parts after I create a problem like that so I end up starting over without understanding how I created the problem. I guess I haven't yet recognized the visual clues that should help me identify whether I'm editing existing geometry or creating new. It's there a video describing the nuances of selecting and clicking into geometry that you would recommend?

I watched this video because I am having issues editing groups. For example I wanted to offset a floor to make the exterior walls but the floor was grouped and wouldn't allow the offset without adding it to it's group. Any tips on this would be fantastic!

@SketchUp 8 ай бұрын

Try going into the floor group and offsetting the boundary to make the wall...then copy the wall face...undo the floor offset...exit the floor group...'past-in-place' the copied wall offset and extrude and group from there!

Not important, just curious ... Why did you change layers to tags? ... another big use of groups I find is in a complex model there is "hide rest of model" option in the views menu ... very handy.

@AaronMakingStuff 3 жыл бұрын

Layers were renamed to Tags once the ability to control Tags was added to LayOut. It makes sense, really, as they don’t “lay” one on top of another like layers in other programs would.

Great video on Groups. Thank you Aaron! What if I have a Group consisting of a number of objects and I want to add another object to an existing Group. My guess is that you have to explode the Group, then start over, including everything you wanted in the Group. In other words, there's no easy solution to "Ooops...I forgot to include that object in my Group." Is that correct?

@AaronMakingStuff 3 жыл бұрын

An easier approach would be to select abs cut the new group/geometry, then double click to enter the group, then paste it into the group.
