I always ended up dragging walls around with furniture before and thus helps so much thanks! Also the 3 button mouse tricks! Before it always annoyed me that I had to go back to the side bar to select each different move tool but you helped me a lot! Thank-you!

To group stuff was the best tip for me. I often made sticky things, that was not meant to be sticky. Pushed 'Undo' several times and started over. So I am going to pay more attention to grouping and two other things covered in other videos here: layers and components. Thank you for some great tutorials.

Thank you *VERY, VERY MUCH.* These basic things really accelerated my learning curve tremendously! I basically started last week and now have already completed the simple floating shelf for my hi-fi components. With rounded, routed doors - once I went back to 2-D and getting the shape right before pulling it was an absolute breeze!!! Most helpful concepts: 1. Mouse control - clicking and leaving the item. 2. Grabbing the edge or corner. 3. Using the press of scroll wheel to orbit. 4. Activating the hand tool whilst doing all other things.

I'm an Interior Design student and I've struggled with sketchup since the beginning, a couple of months now. To the point that I was wondering how I was going to finish my course without being able to use sketchup properly, especially cause I found my self wasting so much time!! So thank you for this tutorial! The most helpful tip was understanding edges, endpoints and faces, and applying this to the move.

This first lesson of how to start in 2D I fully get as a designer, plus the 7 tips for creating, editing, and navigating the system are not with me and I made notes too so that I don't forget. The process of making a note helps to reinforce this rather than just watching and nodding your head - 10 minutes later and you have forgotten! Really impressive professional video, concise without lots of needless waffle that many KZfaq demonstrators do forget when making instructional videos.

Great video. I've just completed a short interior design course where we had to design the ground floor of a townhouse, all by hand. Now, our lecturer wants us to do the same with SketchUp. Really looking forward to getting stuck in!

I'm glad I found this video and especially the tip of "Start in 2D". It really is helpful, while getting the feeling of getting excited in doing 3d modelling in 3D it can also be overwhelming so learn it slowly but surely and knowing the BASICS and FUNDAMENTALS first will make your life easier in learning a certain skill. 😍✨

I was surprised that all other tutorials begin in 3D so was delighted to discover this begins recommending learning in 2 that I believe is a fundamentally better approach to design.

Already helpful in planning to start self guided instruction - dug out my old 3 button Logitech mouse and it still works. That alone is probably going to be a golden nugget as I am on a Mac and would have started either on the track pad or with the magic mouse.

Thank you, one of the best tutorial I've run across, the most important tip for me is #2 No wonder I cant get it going. I truly need to learn to put my ideas into a visible concept easy to edit for client presentation. Thank you so much and I may have to take lessons after all.

Hi Alex, thanks for this video, it is fantastic! Indeed an eye opener for me. I have used autocad & so many 3D modelling softwares in the past, from ideas to solidworks to pro e wildfire. So I felt confident and jumped directly into 3D modelling but was not really picking speed. Watching this video was really helpful. Thanks again!

Interesting tip on the mouse. I myself use a track ball with 4 buttons (bottom two I can program for quick keys or modifier keys), side scroll, and obviously the ball when using orbit is amazing. Way better than the mouse you recommend but also pricey and slowly getting harder to find. I come from "Audio Engineer" background and now use Sketchup to design world class recording studios so I have to be lighting fast.
