Sketchup Tips for Beginners
First topic message reminder :
I think many SU users her can give some quick tips for beginners. share yours.
here are some from me.
1. always take note of using the x, y and z axis. be sure to look at the color of your lines (red for x axis, green for y axis and blue for blue axis.
2. Start using groups early, makes stuff a lot easier. Also start how to edit group, close group, open group etc. this is also useful if you want to export your model in max.
3. Use the left, right and scroller button of your mouse. you can navigate the model easily
middle mouse button to orbit
middle mouse button + shift to pan
and the scroll wheel to zoom
4. Use keyboard shortcuts. you can also tailor your own shortcuts
5. when selecting, be careful, you might be selecting objects behind the wall. turn on xray mode if possible
6. Learn what is "Inferencing" once you know this, modelling is pretty quick and easy.
7. learn about useful rubies. like "mirror".
8. Use layers, it makes the scene manageable
9. Purge entire model regularly
10. Lastly enjoy Sketchup.

Re: Sketchup Tips for Beginners
newbie din po ako pero tip ko sa kapwa ko newbies, enjoy lang sa paggamit and pag-aaral ng su. sa una lang po mahirap pag di pa sanay pero pag nakita na yung output masarap sa pakiramdam. tapos po wag po mahihiya magtanong sa mga su guru gaya ni sir nomeradona.
salamat nga po pala sa mga tips and tutorials ng mga guru. everyday na po ako nagbabrowse dito and everyday po madami ako natututunan na isinishare ko naman po sa mga kasama ko.

Re: Sketchup Tips for Beginners
Tip -- if ang workflow nyo is AUTOCAD to SKETCHUP
avoid nyo ang maraming pag-b-block sa autocad.
or ang "Repetitive" na pag-b-block sa isang object na nakaBLOCK na
to join another "Block objects ALSO".
Reason:
kasi pagka nasa SU ka na then import mo ung file mong AutoCad na yun.
kahit gaano kabilis ang PC mo.
it will stuck at 99% and still Loading.
those 'Many' blocked components
and it will take hour(s)
but the end is. magiging BLANKO ang inimport mo.

Re: Sketchup Tips for Beginners
Mga sir tanong lang po, pano po ba magmodify ng materials gamit VRAY? Kasi kapag gumagawa ako ng new material sa VRAY matl editor wala nag-aappear na new material sa "MATERIALS" window ko. napanood ko kasi sa youtube.. nung nag "ADD VRAY MATERIAL" ung tutor e automatic nag appear ung material sa "MATERIALS" window.. is there a problem regarding the compatibilty? gamit ko ksi SU 8 pro at ung VRAY ko pang SU 6 o 7 lang ata.. Hope u can help me. I'm just new in using SU & other plug ins of it. Salamat mga sir! Kung gusto nyo ng SU 8 pro willing ko i-share ung copy ko.

Re: Sketchup Tips for Beginners
wag kang gumawa ng materials sa material editor ng vray. kasi mahihirapan ka sa mapping at paglink ng materials. better do the material in sketchup, finalize mo mapping mo. sa bagong version automatic na magkakaroon ng bagong vray material kapag gumawa ka sa su. so rule, always do materials in SU muna.
