INTRODUCTION

Lesson 1 :  Meeting Sketch Up Selections – Basic selections – Window selections – Modifier keys to add to and subtract from your selection – Tips for accurate and quick selection sets Components – Components vs. groups – Editing components – Component browser Paint Bucket – Applying colors and materials – Editing colors and materials – Materials browser

Lesson 2 : Eraser – Erase single or multiple edges easily – How to soften or hide edges with the eraser Rectangle – Drawing rectangles on any surface – Draw a perfect square or golden rectangle – Being accurate Lines – Best practices for drawing lines/ edges – Drawing accurately – Dividing edges Circle/Polygon – Drawing a circle or polygon – Changing the number of sides of a circle or polygon – Viewing addition information through the entity info dialog box Arc – How to draw arcs – Drawing tangent arcs – Drawing continuous smooth arcs – Defining number of arc segments.

Lesson 3:   Freehand – Use freehand to draw free form edges Move – Move is an auto-selecting tool – Pre-select objects for more control – Moving objects with precision – Common problems – Select, Copy and Auto-fold videos will show more about the move tool -Push/Pull – Pull any flat shape into 3d – Tips for accuracy and efficiency – Cut away geometry – Inferring to other geometry Rotate – How rotate works – Examples of the rotate tool in action – Lock or define the orientation of the tool

Lesson 4: Follow Me – Introduction to follow-me capabilities – Tips about how the shape and path work together – Speedy tips that create instant follow-me results – Creating lathed objects Scale – Scaling in 2d and 3d – Accuracy when scaling – Use modifier keys for more options – Be aware of axis when scaling Offset – Offsetting surfaces vs. edges – Inferring and speedy tips Tape Measure – Measure distances – Create construction guidelines – Scale groups or the whole model based on known measurements

Lesson 5 : Dimensioning – Add dimensions directly to your model – Adjust dimension settings
