One thing you may want to consider to your videos is to allow it to record what buttons you press i.e P for push/pull etc just so all users, mainly newbies and see the short cuts you're using. Awesome video as always :)
holy cow that extension really made it 100x quicker and simpler. I was always wondering how the hell these RU-vidrs build such complex structures I knew they couldn't have spent hundreds of hrs using my method of understanding of using SketchUp. I didn't even know the extensions existed. And they never mention anything about extensions. I was sitting there modeling every 2x4 independently like a dumb ass.
I have Microsoft Edge for a browser and don't have a toolbar. How did you install the Housebuilder extension? A shed is exactly what I'm trying to do myself.
Your videos are so great! It's becoming more frequent that I'm finding companies I apply to that mention this program, along with other 3D programs, and your videos have helped. Thank you so much!
... this is amazing 🤯. I have a small construction business that I am spread so thin wearing many hats 😴 ... I need to study this video and download these extensions because it's going to save me a lot of time... good bye late nights!
Hi again Justin (I feel like we're on first name basis now 🙂) Is HouseBuilder no longer a thing? I can't seem to find a link to download? Thought I'd ask before I spent the day looking for it 🙂. Thanks,Rick
I'm gonna be tackling a house building project in the next bit and I'd like to draft everything out before hand. Do any of those extensions frame out sub floors as well? I'm going to be building on poured piles or piers if you will and I'd like to draft up all my frame work ahead of time. Thanks for the video, this will go way faster than drafting by hand, lol!
I believe the extension Medeek Truss (design.medeek.com/resources/medeektrussplugin.html) can generate floor framing. Maybe give the trial a shot and see if it does what you need?
looks like what Im looking for, quick question. can I get an example of a addition to a double wide mobile home ? price is good etc. just wanna see how it works before spending money..
Great and informative videos. Thank you. Do you have any recommendations for an easy (and hopefully free) method for creating framing for intersecting gable roofs?
Hmmm...haven't really done a lot of those where I model them down to the framing level - if you're looking for free, you may be stuck doing it manually...
Good tutorial. I am wondering is there an option creating a shop drawings for contractors, as for example with AGACAD software? This is not advertisement, I just want to figure out the best for me.
Justin...wonderful video. Do these downloads operate with the free SketchUp version? Do you have a video that would demonstrate the process of downloading these items? If that was mentioned, I missed it.
I appreciate the effort in your videos, but may I ask that you please show what buttons are where. It took me so long just to find the 'follow me" button
Is there a programmed way (an extension?) to de-construct and "stack" all the materials for quantities and pricing? [edit] "quantifier" - you mentioned it.[/edit]
I downloaded the Housebuilder, however, it's not in normal U.S sizes (i.e. 2x4, 2x6) for lumber. i have 16x50, 16x75 and so on, can you please assist me with setting it up for U.S. sizes? I've looked all over the forums, and found TIG's Metric version, but now i can't seem to be able to remove the previous version i installed and install the Metric version. Please assist if possible.
>(EDIT) I had to make the toolbar for the plugin visible. I was wondering how you installed this file? My extension manager installed the rbz file and I see it in the manager but the plugin is not activated. I have tried to restart SketchUp many times. Thank you. Keep up the great work with these videos. I am using Sketchup Pro 2017.
Thank you this video, the problem with the House Builder is that doen't measure in the right way if you have a bottom and add a House Builder base, it will not stick with your bottom measurement? don't know,, got me confused lol
Hey buddy. I have sketch up pro and even subscribed to sketucation donwloaded housebuilder and the rbz file wont download in a zip file and is causing me not to be able to run housebuilder. Do you have a current link or can you run me through how to download this file without it unzipping? Please and thanks any help would be apprecitated
Great Video. Can you please show, how to get the house builder extension? Your link only shows the forum without any download link, as far as I can see. Thanks in advance
@@Thesketchupessentials Hi there, I tried downloading both file but were unsuccessful. For the house builder, the encrypted file contain .RB files and I cannot install it. Could you please kindly assist?
@@simonjonesmondo867 I don't understand - the House Builder link goes straight to a forum post with an RBZ file. You do have to be logged in to the SketchUcation forum for it to show up, but you shouldn't have to deal with an .RB file
Maybe they have changed it since making this video but do you have to pay for the download extension or at least the membership now before you can get this "free" download?
@@Thesketchupessentials I'm just confused then because when I clicked the link it brought me to a forum that said I must sign up to download anything. When you go to sign up it brings you to a page where you are given 3 different membership options and their cost.
@@kimredxiii You need to read the page closer - there's an option at the top or the bottom (can't remember which) that says "Sign Up for Free" or something like that
I'm trying out the free trial before going ahead with a purchase. I'm having difficulties with creating the walls and figuring out how to use this program. I;m using the browser version and I dont see all of the same tools that you have. Is it different in the app version??
The browser version is significantly different than the desktop version, and does not allow third party extensions. My recommendation would be to download the free SketchUp 2017 Make version from this site and give that a try - www.sketchup.com/download/all - Thanks!
hi dear , thanks for this helpful tutorial please help me how can i get this plugin , i really need it . i just download it from unknown source and it damages my laptop becaouse of viruses
My home builder wall tool asks me for 3 points instead of 2 and it also only lets me make horizontal walls, pretty weird, also it doesn’t ask me for height of anything else just layout spacing and lumber size
i really don't know if i am doing something wrong, when i download the sketchup software, it gives me the error code: " we are unable to start your trial, please try again later." please if anyone knows anything to help me out, the information would be appreciated
1.16 how should we extrude with a follow me??, That was quite fast, I couldn't get it What's the step, to create a frame like thing like you did through *follow me* option?
I would love to learn this. Instead, I request someone to send me the materials list for a 40 x 40 frame. My contractor followed zero code and my 40 x 100 fell down the next day. It is taking me years to sue. My materials have been sitting on the site for over a year now so I am putting up something smaller for now. I have 2 x 6 x 18 and 2 x 4 x 18 and 40 foot trusses. can anyone help me?
Hey Justin, if you have contact with Trimble, you might want to let them know they are losing money because their billing page is screwed up. And why aren't they sponsoring you? Doubts about this company are building quickly.
Help! Installed housebuilder but sketchup shows it unsigned and won't load tried changing the restrictions but still won't load. Thanks for the great videos
Want to make sure I understand - you changed your restrictions to unsigned, installed the extension (which SketchUp allowed), and it's still not showing up? Did you make sure once you installed it that it was actually enabled in the extension manager? You may have to restart SketchUp after enabling to get it to show up...
Hey thanks for getting back to me. Under the extension manager House builder shows up but as "unsigned". The "unrestricted" box was checked by default on my 2107 version. I don't see any settings that show "signed or unsigned". Also which may be related when I start Sketchup Make 2017 it says I am not connected to the internet, but I am online with other programs. Should I delete and reinstall? Thanks great videos
I'd start by deleting the extension and re-installing and seeing if that helps at all - beyond that, not really sure. It's showing up as installed and enabled, right?
I don't understand what you're asking - when you create the 2 x 4, you draw a 2 x 4 box, then extrude it with the push pull tool. When you start creating copies of the 2 x 4's, you use the move tool to create the copies...
TheSketchUpEssentials I'm referring to house builder. I have seen multiple links to different sites but most are dead. Yours work but is it free after your a member of sketchucation?
TheSketchUpEssentials I must be gettin all my stuff mixed up. Finally got back into 3d modeling after 6 years and new computer. I've been 100mph for like three days. Thank you for your help and great videos. Sorry lol
I can't even download this to my Android phone I have the newest galaxy note 10 plus. But what I'm really looking for and maybe you can help me I want to do and add on to my garage and need to draw it out and get material list like wood and frame it up plus the roof and rafters and 2×4 and just all stuff like that studs and beams and etc so can you help me out please
@@Thesketchupessentials so what does it say for Android version if you dont mind me asking. Also I apologize early I didn't mean for you to help me with my garage I meant maybe help find a program that can help me with doing what I recently said early.
@@Thesketchupessentials absolutely not. Sorry if you thought I was being hard on you. I just thought I'd mention it because it's actually a very common mistake that can throw out every other measurement. Thank you very much for the time and effort you have put into making and sharing your tutorials. You have a great pace, voice, and explain everything thoroughly and concisely. I've just bought a plot of land and am trying to design both a house and garage and have found your tutorials to be extremely helpful. I just wish I was as fluent as you at using the program. Keep up the good work.
Nevermind, I figured it out. For some reason, even though I had made the 2x4 a component it was still sticking when I needed to adjust the last one. Instead I made it outside of the workspace, made it a component and then moved it in place.
Hey Justin, thanks for getting back to me so quick. in my extention manager i have the option to install new extentions. but when i select the one in my download folder nothing happens. so …. what can go wrong and what am i doing wrong
