Anyway, it all goes back to when I got an Intuos tablet for my 18th birthday, I was really bad with it to be honest but when I got my first job after University at WIRED magazine everybody in the office had one, no matter what job you were doing (using a pen helps reduce RSI most associated with using a mouse).

Rather than using a tablet a few times a week to draw I was using it everyday all day for all tasks from emails to In Design. Naturally at this time I started using it with SketchUp thinking nothing of it. Over the years tablets have advanced, they are now displays with multi gestures and with more advanced inputs.
11.6 inch Drawing monitor has 72% NTSC color gamut , 1920x1080 Resolution , 6 handy shortcut keys with a slim touch pad. P06 battery-free stylus featuring digital eraser, 8192 pressure levels. best affordable Drawing Tablet With Screen are perfect...
If in 3ds Max you create a cube and apply a material to it (simple, with a texture in diffuse slot), and then export it as FBX (or OBJ), and then import it into SketchUp, do you have the same problems with the material?
So a pointing device with hover mode and primary&secondary click (like a trackpad or 3-button mouse) is essential. I still like to use a stylus in combination, since for some tasks it feels more natural (you click where you see something on the screen) and for tasks similar to lasso selection it is more precise.
During my education as a architectural draftsman I drafted with drawing ink on paper (Shortly after, we moved to cad). Now, 25 years later, I consider purchasing a Wacom Cintiq 24". The pen has two buttons. Would be possible to use them for Pan and Orbit. Everything else with shortcuts, like I do it anyway. On my keyboard and/or the little remote, which comes with the Wacom.
Could be a lot of fun.
Hello. I'm really new at all this and I have trouble with some of the basics.I want to simulate an office building but I cant seem to figure out the correct way to save my progress, which is causing a lot of frustration. I'm using SketchUp 2014 with OpenStudio 1.5.
Hi @iasonas_fng, sorry for your troubles. When working with OpenStudio you only need to save your OSM file, you do not need to save the SKP file. When you open SketchUp you can go to the OpenStudio menu and choose open OSM, re-opening a SKP file linked to an OSM sometimes causes problems. I am a little unsure what you mean by "Selecting Save As or Export from the OpenStudio menu doesnt seem to do anything so I start with Save As .skp model from the File menu", can you expand on that? When you choose "Save" or "Save As" from the OpenStudio model it should prompt you for where you want to save your OSM file if you have not already saved it.
After uninstalling and reinstalling everything a few times, I finally got the menus working.It probably had to do with the install order.What I did was:1) Install EnergyPlus 8.12) Install Sketchup Pro 20143) Install OpenStudio 1.5 (without the legacy)and use Administrator Rights during every step.Just saying, in case anyone else has the same troubles in the future.
I was working in my .osm file into sketchup normally. So i started to organizing my folders after work and when i tried to load the .osm file into sketchup was showed the message "Validity check: Failed to load file". (All files have been moved from folder)
It would be amazing to have a Boolean option in the extrusion, for negative operations...
Negative extrusions in max are really anti-intuitive and we need a lot of work to use them in hard situation.
With an optional "boolean" option negative extrusion could be really smart and sketchup like
I'm trying to import a triangle mesh from file (e.g., .3ds, .dae). However, it seems that some of the faces (triangles) are being ignored. If I scale the model by 10x before importing, then the triangles are in tact. Is there a way to force sketchup to load all faces, even small ones?
Also, immediately after I import my cursor is set to "move mode", so the object is placed wherever my cursor randomly happens to be. Is there a way to import the model exactly into the current coordinate system without mouse interaction?
This course focuses on the unique modeling, material and lighting strategies for interior spaces and rendering. We expand on the basics of V-Ray, so if you are new to rendering, start with our course on V-Ray for SketchUp.
Follow along with Eric, for a behind-the-scenes look at how we created the graphics for the SketchUp 2020 release. We'll talk about the creative process and inspiration, creating the mountain and terrain, the cabin and how it all comes together.
Scan Essentials is an extension for SketchUp that imports and provides tools to work with point clouds. You can import several formats and create a highly accurate reference for modeling with Scan Essentials.
The software is included in several different levels of SketchUp subscription. In SketchUp Pro (235 per year) you can work across iPad, desktop or browser with full compatibility between the different versions. SketchUp Studio (549 per year) adds support for point clouds and rendering with V-Ray.
SketchUp for iPad will run on any iPad with iOS 15, although Trimble recommends the most powerful M1 models. Even though the software was developed for the 2nd Generation Pencil, it will still work with the 1st Generation Pencil.
Furthermore, as all the keyboard shortcuts and modifiers work with the software, it would theoretically be possible to use all three input devices at the same time, invoking commands with the press of a button, sketching out geometry with the Pencil and manipulating the model with your hands.
AutoShape mimics how users naturally draw objects with a pencil, and not how they model them with a mouse on a desktop app. In CAD, for example, a circle is defined by setting the centre point, then the radius. With AutoShape, you just roughly sketch a perimeter.
The system supports rectangles, circle, arcs, and polygons, all of which appear as SketchUp geometry about a second later. Rectangles can be drawn within rectangles, automatically snapping when in close proximity, so you can build up a simple floorplan in seconds, then push / pull the geometry to create a 3D shape.
3D primitives, including box, cylinder, extruded polygon, pyramid, sphere, tube, and torus can also be sketched directly. A box is just a square with a vertical line, a cylinder a circle with a line. The length of the line defines the length of the extrusion.
Once placed within SketchUp you are presented with a range of parametrically configurable options. For a multi-unit window, for example, you can mess around with height, width, depth, mullions, and colour. For a door, this extends to handle height and handle type.
Trimble's SketchUp for Schools is the core SketchUp modeler now available in a web browser for any Primary and Secondary School signed up with G Suite for Education. You can use SketchUp on any device with mouse & keyboard input and access to internet. You can make anything you can imagine, from anywhere, anytime you imagine it.
Hi, I'm Justin Geis, and I'm the founder of The SketchUp Essentials. I started using SketchUp as part of my work as a general contractor in 2008. I quickly realized the power of the software and started using it for personal projects. I started The SketchUp Essentials as a place to share easy to follow SketchUp tutorials and tips to help everyone harness the power of 3D Modeling in their lives. When not working with SketchUp, I enjoy playing soccer and spending time with my wife and our two dogs.
We are happy to announce the launch of the Cesium ion SketchUp extension for publishing SketchUp models as 3D Tiles to your Cesium ion account for use in CesiumJS and other applications. The SketchUp extension joins a growing list of 3D Tiles exporters that started with FME and is enabled by the new REST API. Look for more exporters coming soon.
Get started using SketchUp, the popular, easy-to-learn 3D digital modeling program. This course provides an introduction to how planners and architects represent three-dimensional objects in two-dimensions, with step-by-step instructions for creating and using simple 3D models.
SketchUp was a natural choice for me because A) there is a robust version available for free, B) I have seen many example drawings that represented exactly the type of projects that I wanted to design with the tool so I knew that it was capable of performing my intended tasks, and C) because it is so widely adopted, there is an abundance of free and inexpensive self-guided training materials available.
Start slowly and build up one skill at a time. In my first attempt to learn SketchUp, the main reason that I got frustrated and ultimately gave up was that I had attempted to learn everything all at the same time and without guidance. In my second attempt, by following good tutorials, I was able to isolate the critical skills and learn them one at a time, which produced much better results. When I was ready for real projects, I started with the relatively simple dartboard cabinet and from there I worked through progressively more challenging projects. This approach allowed me to achieve the satisfaction of conquering one challenge before moving on to the next one.
How to i print out a cut list and how can i print out a front and side view with measurements. I designed a cabinet but i cant figure out how to create a cut list ore to print a front and side view with measurements
I have made the same mistake as others, thinking I can become a designer in one day and getting frustrated. I struggle with the 3D aspect. I now wonder what advantage it is over my 2D iPad drawings. Making components is an obvious advantage over repeatedly drawing the same thing. I love to learn new things, how can I learn to love Sketchup as a woodworker?
