How to Frame Walls in SketchUp 

This was the best "Get Started' Tutorial - its amazing how seeing results within minutes and feeling like you are using the tools make you want to keep learning more.

This was probably the best and most useful SketchUp tutorial I’ve watched.

Not too fast, not too long, I really appreciate this format

Good oh down to the earth tutorial!

This video is perfect! Thank you so much!

brand new to this and found it very easy to follow you with the exception I'm not working on a Mac but figured out the different keys pretty quickly, going to follow your videos in the next few days need to draw up some pans for a project.

This was a really good tutorial. Simply put and well spoken.

Your video was more helpful than any other that I've watched. It was simple enough for me, a neophyte to understand. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing the tips and details along the way, super helpful

Keep up the good work. Straight to the point, with no fluff! I learned more here than I have in the last month looking at other vids!

Wow this was incredible. Super easy to understand! Thank you

Great job on this. Very clear and well done. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing, excellent tutorial, very helpful. We appreciate more tutorials on framing and building sheds, cabins and tiny houses.

Thanks for the vid! I'm completely new to any type of architectural software. This helped me a lot with the basics.

thanks! after being discouraged by advanced framing videos, this one is exactly what I needed. Now I can start my framing and learn on the way! you're excellent teacher.

Very helpful. I couldn’t help but notice one low hanging fruit here, but… the quickest and easiest way to build that model after you deleated it is to simply hit the “undo” keyboard shortcut 😎👍

Excellent job ,quick and on point!

Thank you very much. I have been struggling with FreeCad and this looks much easier for this kind of drawing.

Thank you for explaining everything, unlike others.

This was excellent. Exactly what I needed !! Well done. Easy to follow and understand.

Great Tutorial, thank you.

Great explanation of the steps

Excellent tutorial!

amazing tutorial, thanks so much. I'm trying to frame my unfinished basement

Excellent tutorial!!!

New to Sketchup and have looked a lots of videos. This is the best by far! The fact you are using Sketchup vs. Sketchup Pro is very helpful. Also, simple explanations with clear movement of cursor. Great job!

This was fantastics. You're really good at explaining this stuff. I've watched a bunch of Sketchup tutorials and I'd say this was the best. Keep it up! Please do more.

thank you so much. Exactly what I'm looking for.

Excellent!

Great help, thanks a lot (not too fast)

Thank you...appreciate the video.

Amazing and helpful video , watching you from Honduras

pretty cool. thanks.

great tutorial

Great tutorial, loved it. Especially your description of why the first and last distance between the studs are different. I have to do some framing with a door. Would be nice to have a tutorial on. Thanks again for a great tutorial I feel ready to get started and much more knowledgeable.

Very nice!

This was helpful to me because I was starting today this program and it helps a lot thanks so much. if I can give you high five i would really love but thanks from the bottom of heart ❤️

Perfect speed! Not too slow (losing interest) and not too quick (having to jump back a lot)

thank you buddy, l have learned a lot

Another great tutorial. I would be interested to know how to add and show dimensions of a finished small project and or components to use in the workshop as a cutting sheet. Is this possible? Thanks.

well done

Very well done, easy to comprehend, all 100% of it. And I agree with @ndamico, that this is the best/useful tutorial I've seen on Sketchup. And believe me, I've watched a bunch. Now subscribed and will look for more of your work. Thanks for taking the time to record this!

awesome

Great. I can learn SketchUp and get the rust off my amateur carpentry skills (which includes simple furniture projects).

thanks

Thanks

For anyone having a problem using ALT to copy a component, hit the CTRL key instead

We're in 2023. Is there not a software that has pre-existing lumber mock ups? Also, there should be an auto function that allows the software to recommend structual design. This is crazy.

I love your videos as this is only day 2 with sketch-up for me. I am on a pc. I do not see the unique option on mine, nor can I seem to push a stud down from the top plate. It wants to pull out the side but not push down the stud to jack stud height... very frustrating

Awesome tutorial! Love that x8 trick. Is there any way to print that with dimensions on it?

Absolutely amazing tutorial. Simple and to the point. You have a gift. I am in need of assistance. I want to build a 2 story shop/office space inside a metal building. I have a 30x60x18 metal building and want to build a 30x20x18 shop/office inside. Would you be available for hire?

Excellent job on this one. However the task of creating walls gets more complex as you start adding windows and doors and then your client wants to move or resize those openings in the wall. Using just SketchUp and it’s native tools can get very tedious as you would then need to remodel a bunch of the geometry. That is why I would strongly suggest using an extension to draw walls, you get the flexibility of SketchUp but you also get the parametric or editing ability which makes things so much more efficient.

How to change rect dimension after the rect has been drawn already?

Someone may have already said this, but in Windows, you do not use “Alt” to make a copy, you would use “Ctrl”. Took me awhile to figure out why I couldn’t copy that stud! Otherwise, good tutorial

its ctrl to move a copy of a stud over on my windows 10 laptop. took me awhile to finally figure that out. alt does some other function. at the bottom of the screen in sketchup. it says what alt and ctrl are doing.

Nice job explaining, however how come you did not make the slab a group instead of a component. I be looking for your next video. Thank you for sharing.

A great video for learning the basics of Sketchup @structuredesign. We built a plugin that automates all of what you did in the video and, it enables you to adjust slab and footing thickness. With framed walls you can parmatrically create and edit all wood framing, including junctions, top/ribbon plates, headers & sills etc infinite times in just 2 clicks. After the wall is drawn you can also add or delete doors & Windows after the wall is drawn. Reach out if you would like to see it. Again great work, keep them coming.

YOU DESERVE SPONSORSHIP!!! BUT NOT FROM ME, I'M BROKE.

Hello Is there a way to print a list of materials based on the sketch Using the free version ?

which version of sketchup is this?

It's crazy that they don't have pre made boards that you can just rotate and configure any way you please. No reason we should have to make and paint them one by one.

Perfect. Lots of fun. I hope there is an addon that does a materials count. Say how many 2x4x8 footers are needed including all the other stuff that this tutorial doesnt cover like window and door material.

thanks
