Hi Aaron, I'm a big fan of you and nearly watched all of your tutorials and learned a lot. I love the way you teach, talk, make mistakes and joke. In this video I think you missed a tip. I had trouble importing the pictures with high resolution, then one day I figured out how to do it in another video. Preferences - OpenGL - Use maximum texture size. Maybe it is only for windows version. Anyway, thanks for all of your videos, love from Turkey!

Both of these reference image methodologies are very handy tricks of the SketchUp trade, especially the scaled image used for tracing. As a Mac user however, I also find using macOS's Mission Control virtual desktops to be very handy if you don't have a multiple monitor setup. I run SketchUp in one desktop, and can bring up reference PDFs or JPGs in (multiple) adjacent desktops. By default, Mac uses the Control-Left and Control-Right arrow key shortcuts to quickly switch desktops to the left and right. I also use multiple desktops to run both SketchUp and Layout together with the same quick Ctonrol-Arrow key swapping trick.

Awesome, I use both methods 99% of the time; importing hand sketches to model into architecture and interior spaces. Great job explaining both in under 10 minutes. Stay awesome!!!

Hi Aaron. Can I just say how much I value your tutorials. I am learning so much from them.

This has been a huge help especially for site photos to reference. Thanks very much!!

As usual, very helpful and new info always...love the watermark demo, too.

I was just searching your channel for exactly this! It's like you read my mind! 😂🥰

Love all of your videos! Very helpful!

I just really like the way you explain things

Thank you Aron for this video which always teaches us a little more about Sketchup. It is very enriching and very clear. Well done! See you soon. Pat (France)

Always great info. Thanks

Thanks Aaron, clearly explained as always.

Love it. You reminded me of a few things too. Thanks!

Just made a huge improvement in my modelling thanks Aaron

Thanks Aaron, great tip today!

Hummmmm, something I’ve always done in Adobe Illustrator but not in SU. Now I have another tool to consider when tracing or the like. Much gracious Aaron

smart advice here. Bravo.

Honestly that was an awesome Idea. thanks

Thanks Aaron.

Good Stuff, Aaron.

Aaron, great tip.

that's a great tip. Thank you,

Thanks for this video! I’m just trying to learn to model from schematics etc. One little thing, there is a perfectly good scale at the bottom of the chart that would be great for setting the proper scale of the project.

This video was of unmeasurable value to me, for more than the uses mentioned here.

Отличный совет! Спасибо!

Nice tip regarding the watermark. What I one day hope to see is how to handle imported dwg files with coordinates far from origin. No-one seems to ever mention this obvious problem in SketchUp.

Nice. More. Things take a while to sink in where I'm concerned. 🐴😁

Brilliant

I have multiple monitors myself. My Wacom Cintiq 22HD being one of them.

thank you very much

Thanks!

I use blueprints for laying out items.

I have a series of photos of a car on a checkerboard floor. The photos go all the way around the car. I don't have drawings and I want to model the car. Can I use perspective matching to model the car?

hmm bring it in as a watermark and throw it in the background. Great solution.

... gut!

Can we download the files you use , like the images

I thought that was the default way. Anyways, that's how I improvised, because I understood that alt-+tabbing is not an option:)

Thanks, looks like the Orca from Jaws.

Since sketchup lost the contract with google earth I have not had much luck geolocating and establishing accurate contours. Is there a work-around that will work with google earth 3D? Tx, Rich

i want this blueprints.

This has an advantage over Photo Match, you can eventually delete the reference image. If you delete the Photo Match image, you lose the image tracing at same time!!

id sketchup crashing???
