FLOOR PLANS FROM IMAGES in SketchUp Pro! Updated for 2021! (Getting Started with SketchUp Pro Ep 4) 

Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about today's tutorial in the comments below! Remember to download the example file at www.thesketchupessentials.com/floorplan !

Great video. All praise the metric system, I don't know how ya'll do it with these needless fractions. ❤️

1. Scaling - import image as image - set to maximum texture - Place in the workspace - Explode the image - Group the image - Find a point where the size is known - Use the tape measure tool to measure that point's actual distance in workspace - change the measured distance to the DESIRED distance (specified distance in image) - Resize > yes - Check if it's scaled properly 2. Modeling - Use line tool to trace the outer lines - OFFSET for the interior walls - trace inner lines - offset inner lines - draw lines for openings 3. Extrude - Group exterior walls - Group interior walls - reverse faces - extrude all walls - double-click for shortcut - repeat - make the specified openings - repeat for the interior walls - delete lines using eraser

So smooth! EverytNice tutorialng he says goes into my brain and sticks in.

you record with hardware outside of the program. Great tutorial btw it was very detailed but still just right for beginners.

Excellent. Thank you.

Brilliant!!! Thank you so much! This really helps

Hi, honestly i think i will always enjoy learn many tips in this channel so really thankyou for sharing 🙏, i hope i can find here how to effectively produce a good document for client just using sketchup, and i just find it here ! :)

Yes please do an ep5! This program is a little different from the usual AutoCAD and rhino and these walk-throughs have been super helpful with learning sketchup! Thanks again!

Hi Justin! Would there be any part 2 to this video where we can add material and a second floor to this image? It would be a great practice session for a newbie like me! Your tutorials are amazing.

Thanks sir

I cannot seem to get the scaling to take effect. What am I missing?

Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us! It's so helpful. Sometimes I am struggling to find the right videos to watch on your page because there is a lot of content and I'm not that well versed in navigating RU-vid - but I'm specifically looking for helping with modeling for Interior Design.

When downloading the example file in the Floor Plans for Images video, when does the downloaded file go? It is not in my download file........ Thanks.

Dude you just saved my life woooooooaaawwww. Thank you so much sketch up god

To unhindered all use the cmd+shift+e (ctrl+shift+e in windows I guess) shortcut

The stairs, how do you prefer to do those?

when i try to select the base piece for doors it also selected everything around and not only that on the ground as in the video can someone explain please ?

Having problems setting image to scale. It seems to always want to create a guide and doesn't change the scale. whyyyy?? ugh

100% I make the sickest soft in my head all day long then the mont I open a DAW...

Hi, awesome tutorials!!!! Just wondering what pc components you are running to use sketch up? Such as what CPU and GPU, does it even matter ?

Thank you Justin, very well explained, easy to understand and very useful. I do have a question though - I have a cabinet set as a component. And I want to resize it. Make wider / from 1000 mm to 2000mm. When I do so using scaling the objects widens to the desired size, but the sides of the cabinet double in thickness. From 18mm to 36. I built the cabinet from individuall components, sides, bottom etc. . And I just cant figure out a way how to change dimensions of an object without having sketchup change the dimension of some part..... Can you shed some light on this please, or direct me to where I can learn more about this... thanx

what if I created the floor plan in sketchup with correct dimensions and then i want to make it 3d, do I need to export it as a jpeg and then start a new sketchup template & import it in? Or can i just start push/pulling walls in my original file?

Hi sir! Do u have full course on Udemy? If so , please do send the link. Thank u

Great tutorial my friend, please I am having an issue with getting license for my sketchup 2017,2018,2019 & 2020. Please help me out so I can develop myself with sketchup. Thanks.

As on MAC is diferent, then it is hard to follow your videos...

try on mac does work , dont know why (scale by measurement )

what version of sketchup is this?

Oh mhen!! God bless RU-vid! And God bless you sir. Am so passionate about this sketchup & I'm glad you're helping me get a hang of it!!

my tape measure tool didn't do anything to scale

Outstanding stuff! About to start finishing my basement, have the paper floorplan and this will be really helpful!

How do keep the floorpan visible even if I open the group with the walls? I did not hide it, it just goes white. Thanks

do you want to resize the model ? note that components within the model that were loaded from external files will not be resized how to resize, i have got this popup

wow, very cool video, youre fire

ihave made from plan but certain areas i cant push its locked how can i remove its lock ?

I've always wanted to make soft but every ti I download software to do so, I just look at the 5,000 buttons/settings, cry for a few

I 'only' use SketchUp for woodworking designs and don't need these techniques, BUT this is fascinating. Thanks!

u r great person sir

Hello love your videos these days. I've imported some house i made in sketchup to blender, and whatever i do it was rendering it with full of noise ... .Is there any way to fix that in the beginning. I mean can you import that model into blender and render it. x)

Such an awesome tutorial..! Kudos.

I wish you would go a little slower when you’re finishing up the windows and such. How did you set up the interior walls to pull them up together? I keep trying groups and components and neither is working.

Sa idk why it does that

haters guna hate.

what about a cad file. i always find i have problems with a imported Autocad file.

I got the crack

I started here.

I'm assuming I could combine this technique in collaboration with the Medeek suite I just bought. Thanks, helpful as always!

└⚠️ TNice tutorials folder is empty

How please did you do the eraser thing to delete lines easly

is there a playlist for getting started tuutorials?

Hi how to calculate non-straight pipe length?

Hi great video, Thanks! I have one question. When using the offset tool to offset outward I am having a problem getting the two selected walls to stay highlighted, as soon as I type "F" or click on the toolbar button the highlighting goes away. I tried holding shift, alt, and control, but nothing seems to work as soon as I select a different tool the highlighting is gone. Any idea what I may be doing wrong? Thanks again.
