hello there Welcome to our Channel today I'm going to teach you the first thing first on sketch up let us learn sketch up the right way let's get started in starting your sketch app it is very essential to start it with 2D or plan view method to do that go to more templates here and then select on the following what you want to use if you are a English system user you use plan view inches but if you are a metric system user you will use plan view millimeters or plan view met since I am a metric system user I will choose plan view MIM if you have opened already your sketch app and you are not yet in the 2D or plan view workspace you can still can go there by clicking window here and then look for preference and then you can now choose whether you use English or metric system again I will choose PL view millimet then click okay in SketchUp there is a right way in drawing in this rectangle there is what we call the end point there is also EDS and also the face you can move the end point like this and then you can move the Eds like this you can move also the face like this and also there is a correct technique in using the mouse in using the mouse you have to practice the right way for example I will move again the end point The Edge and then the face using the correct way of clicking and dragging the mouse when I move the end point I will left click then release then drag the mouse then left click then release when I move the edge left click release drag the mouse left click then release when I move the face also left click release drag the mouse left click and release in in drawing using the moune is so very very essential for example I will draw line this time I will go to the tools here the drawing tools or I will just type in for line and then I will draw a line now left click release then drag left click release then drag left click release then drop then left click release then drop to terminate the command just press space bar and also let's try rectangle go again to the drawing tools or just type uh again at the upper left corner click right release drag click release then space back let's try the circle you just type c or go to the tool drawing tool here click release then drag how about release drag click release then drag and then also this uh two point click release drag click release then drag upward then space bar to ter how about polygon click release then drag click release then space back practice this technique so that you will be able to master using the mouse correctly in sketch up individual geometry when joined together or when edges meet at to one point they stick to one another for example I will move this and then putting the edge to this polygon and then when I move this the edge of the rectangle will stick to the edge of the polygon see they can be separated once they meet at one point and uh also with object overlap for example I'm going to move this object and put right here and there is already an overlapping geometry when I move the end point of the rectangle here it now being stuck with the other geometry when I move the page it also become stuck with the other Geet so in sketch up it is very essential to group its geometry while you start your geometry or when you draw separated geometry it is very essential to group its geometry to group geometries for example this rectangle you just click it three times left click three times 1 2 three and then putting the selection tool inside the object you right click then select make through in this manner this object is already a group object and then also with this triple click 1 2 3 then putting the selection to inside right click then make a group now I will just uh move the uh group object putting here and try to uh move the end point see these objects will not stick to one another so in sketch up when you group a object and uh putting or placing into another object like this they will not stick to one another so in sketch up you have to group early and you have to group often again let's practice the move and let us Master the move command again another rectangle and then moving the end point here left click release drag left click release and then the Eds left click release drag left click release and then the face left click release drag left click release we can also move multiple ages to move multiple ages just click the edges of Ed for example I will move these two edges by clicking the first Edge and then press shift to select the other Edge and then I will move now the end point and see multiple edges is mve next I will show you now how to navigate like a professional in sketch app in sketch app you can zoom in and zoom out by Rolling the center wheel of your mouse rolling uh forward zoom in and then rolling upward to zoom out you can also use the zoom tool here just long press the left click slide to the left and slide to the right you can also use the zoom window here click here then Zoom you can also uh use the extent Zoom here to extend the the Drone objects onto the limits of the drawing area click the zoom extent and automatically the object is zoom out into the limits of the drawing area we can also use f to move the drawing area using the hand like tool here you click that and then you can move the drawing area you can also use the shortcut command in uh panning the drawing area you just click the wheel center of the mouse and then press shift all together and then you can move and also you can orbit the drawing area you just click the orbit tool and then you orbit your drawing area or you can use the shortcut by long pressing the center wheel of the mouse and you can orbit the drawing area now I will going to teach you the technique of orbiting your drawing or the drawing area into 360° angle to do that you just press the center wheel and then slide the mouse forward to and from back and forth just like this long press the center wheel and then move back and for and then in that manner you you can turn your uh drawing area into 360° you can also rotate the uh growing area by doing the same by clicking on and off the center wheel and then sliding the mouse to and pro to the left and to the right this has been the video tutorial for the first thing first H CCH up learning the right way thank you very much for watching see you again for the next video
