I have sketchp go what is this means?
I learned from your video what university instructors take a week to tell
23:33 I have a problem if I erase the extra line the wall also gone. Can anyone tell me what I do wrong?
Please send this message to team@sketchupschool.com and an instructor will try to help.
Loved the tips, thanks.
You're welcome!
I watch your startup video a couple years ago. This week, after throwing the software out of frustration into ether, (to no fault of your video) I finished my first model. Now onto my next overly complicated theme 🤣
Glad to hear that you're giving it another shot!
Great video, thanks. A question for Sketchup, wondering which laptop is better to run Sketchup with Vray in between Samsung Book4 ultra with Nvidia 4070 and Macbook M3 Max 40 core GPU ? Any suggestion, please advise, thank you.
The Samsung with the NVIDIA GPU will be faster than a Mac due to the way that NVIDIA GPUs can accelerate render times.
Is sketchup web can use this?
Unfortunately, you can't add rendering extensions to SketchUp Free (the web-based version of SketchUp). You would need SketchUp Pro in order to add realistic rendering extensions.
Regarding "Navigate like a Pro" - just buy a 3D mouse and you won't never come back to mouse-keyboard 3D navigation ;)
Yep - you can definitely go for a higher end 3D mouse and find all of your navigation needs covered in one device.
Hi Alex, thanks for such a helpful video. One question, Im about to buy a new laptop to use sketchup and considering Macbook Air M3 but quite worried of throttling when rendering.. Do you think Air M3 is enough for rendering or should I buy Pro line up? You said it may requite at least 36GB of RAM for M1 chip but wondering if there is any change since Macbook is using M3 now.
We should mention first that if you would consider an NVIDIA-based PC, it would be a faster option than any Mac. That being said, if you prefer a Mac, you would be better off with the Pro version over the Air as it comes with hardware that will be able to handle the rendering calculations faster.

I have an amd 6800 xt can it run sketchup properly i heard amd gpu are not that great for 3d models
You can run SketchUp with that GPU. It's when it comes to creating realistic renderings in a software like V-Ray for SketchUp that you will find it won't be as helpful as an NVIDIA GPU would be.
@@SketchUpSchool does it not run or it takes abit longer to run i am currently on enscape

Bro i am facing quality issue after making model in sketchup than rendering in Lumion 12.5 please help
Please send your question to team@sketchupschool.com and an instructor will try to help
I wasn't two minutes into this video and im already stopped in frustration. Sketchup is now web based and doesn't have the menu options shown. Trying to find how to set up in a 2d template and I'm lost. Thanks for the awesome video.
There is a free web-based version of SketchUp, and then there is the paid, desktop application version that we show in this video. If you want to follow along using SketchUp Free, we have another version of this video that will work better for you: ua-cam.com/video/yEGqe_CQ_wc/v-deo.html
How do I save work on the free browser version?
In the upper left corner click on the three horizontal lines icon to bring up the menu. There, click Save As.
@@SketchUpSchool thank you. I built the anfield stadium. It took long but with your tutorials I got it done
What about to download the project I made in SU Free or Go? May i dowload it?
Yes, you can download the SketchUp file that you make using either SketchUp Free or SketchUp for iPad
Thank u
You're welcome!
How did you select all the walls?
You can triple-click on an edge or face of the wall and it will select all connected geometry.
when i hit "send to layout" all it does is take a random screenshot of the model and posts it on a separate document.
That is the process of creating a "Viewport" of the SketchUp model on a page in a LayOut document. If you need more help figuring out how this process all works, please send any follow-up questions to team@sketchupschool.com.
I am a designer and learned about sketchUp 10 years ago in school, I have never been a fan, but the truth is is a very useful, evolving software. The current company I am working with does a lot of different projects from pools, to ADUs etc. They predominantly use SketchUp as it provides renders/3d without aditional software. I am giving it a second chance, and super thankful for your videos! Super well done, in a very succint way!
This is such a helpful intro. I have a question about using a mouse - which might sound a bit weird. I've never been able to use a mouse. I think it's an issue connected to motion-sickness. I've always used a Wacom pad. Would a Wacom pad work for SketchUp? Thanks
Most people find that using a Wacom pad is difficult with SketchUp. You could certainly try it, but it's not usually recommended.
@@SketchUpSchool Thanks for letting me know. I'm having a read to see what tips Wacom users have!
I'm a total beginner in 3D drawing. This is the first time I tried sketchup free. When I opened it, the left toolbar is different from what you show in this video. There's no option for making arch, and when I clicked the pencil tool, there's no option for freehand (nothing shows up). Is there a different version of sketchup free or did I clicked on something wrong to make the tools disappeared? please help me😂
Nevermind… I finally found it in the very bottom 😅
Glad you found that the three dots at the bottom are where those tools now live.

Ha! Glad you liked it!
Thanks a bunch for the information.
You're welcome!
Interior with v-ray and exterior with lumion or escape for even faster renders😅
You can also use the Vision feature in V-Ray to get similar results to Lumion or Enscape.
can i use 3ds max for rendering and lighting after create a model in sketchup pro ?
Yes, you can model in SketchUp Pro and then export that model for 3DS Max.
I have found this tutorial to be the best one I have viewed to date. So easy to follow and makes total sense!
Really happy to hear that you enjoyed this tutorial!
Very good values with this one, how will it work? anyone used it for sketchup? Acer Nitro 17 Gaming Laptop | AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS Octa-Core CPU | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 GPU | 17.3" FHD 165Hz IPS Display | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB Gen 4 SSD | Wi-Fi 6E | RGB Backlit KB | AN17-41-R8N5, Black
That computer will work great for SketchUp and would also be pretty good if you need to create realistic renderings.
what is you have stairs
Please email team@sketchupschool.com and an instructor will try to help.
Damn, that 7 day trial is gonna be unused
I doubt I'll ever be able to afford the desktop version but am enjoying the free web based version, thank you for these great and easy to follow tutorials, much appreciated, you've made it so much easier to use with just a few simple steps!!
You're welcome!
really really great video
Glad you liked it!
where is the free version all i see is the 7 day free then pay
You can access the free version as a web-app here: app.sketchup.com/app?hl=en
So many extra steps and work arounds compared to other programs lol.
i cant use the divine array function, how to fix that or is that any other method to use ? Tq
Please send this question to team@sketchupschool.com and an instructor will try to help.
Is this feature only available in studio plan? Or can I do this is Pro /Go plan too? ^^
You can import 2D images into SketchUp Pro or Go and use them as the basis for creating a 3D model
Do you do the drawings not good with softwares
The template selection page is blank
Please send this question to team@sketchupschool.com and an instructor will try to help.
My SketchUp does not look like this when I open a new template. I went through the steps and the tool bar on the left doesn’t appear and I cannot move my sketch. Do you know how I can reset my program? Looking for any advice. It’s very confusing.
Please send this message to team@sketchupschool.com and an instructor will be happy to help.
Hi great vid but I have the iPad version, Don't think I can add extensions to this. Is there another way I can soften edges? Thanks
No, unfortunately you can't add extensions to SketchUp for iPad
Thank you, just got sketch up this morning and i have a similar model built, no furniture but colors and a few windows. thanks a second time!!
You're very welcome!
my future and current self thank you ;)
You're welcome 😊
To rotate a rectangle 180 degrees, just use the Flip Blue command.
Yep, that works
What's everyone's opinion on if I need the Sketchup Pro version for doing just one thing. To draw SHOPS by viewing a project's architectural drawings. I'll only ever need to draw SHOPS. Not design my own projects. Not create new things. Just draw Shops by looking at the architectural drawings, and my shops be used in the field for casework and countertop installations. What's the best program for drafting Shops?
I can't be sure of what the "best" program would be, but SketchUp would certainly be a great option for the work you need to do.

When I try to export dwg linework, that when my pc gets slow and takes forever to export. I have a Ryzen 7 3800 8 core 3.60GHz + GTX 1660ti. + 32gb ram.
When it comes to exporting linework, I'm not sure that an upgraded CPU would make that much of a difference.
I'm using Sketchup 2017 to plan my basement home gym. I really just need the 2d floor layout , and then to add objects that represent gym equipment ( functional trainer, power rack, bench,) so that I can play around with different positions and orientations to see which configuration will work the best for my space. I only care about interior walls. Is Sketchup a good application for this use case?
Yep, you can definitely use SketchUp to plan your basement home gym.
