SketchUp: Resizing everything with the Tape Measure tool 

That's a very handy tool, thanks for the clear, concise tute. Cheers.

Just wanted to say thank you for this tutorial! It's super helpful!!! Cheers!

This has saved my life just now. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for this tip. I have been looking forever on how to do this. Keep up the great videos.

this changed my life.thank you!

I like that you orbit around. Artists constantly adjust their view to conceptualize their work. I have quick eyes, so I am keeping up. Super video series.

I'm just a beginner with Google SketchUp and you're videos are unbelievably helpful. Thanks Aidan Chopra =)

Is it possible to only resize the red and blue axis? I need to scale the entire model but keep the green axis as it is.

to cut the crap and get to the point 2:56

I want to change the size of a lengths without changing the whole model. How do you do that?

thanks! Just the right tutorial that i need!

Thank you! So usefull! And the bulding looks nice ;)

what a great tip, thank you

"O my, he's too big to go inside the building." Hehe :) Thanks for these videos.

Really Useful! Thank you. Susi xx

thank you for your videos they are really helpful : )

@aidanchopra no i like the way you made the video! when you orbit, it lets us see the different sides of the building - which is VERY helpful!

Whenever I tye in the new measurement nothing hapens!! so frustrating, I've only gotten it to work once, and that was dumb luck. should I be clicking and holding? Whats the dealio?

thanks so much for the info i was searching for the same my model was very large and was unable to scale it down but this method helped

Great tutorial! Thanks

Thanks a lot. You helped me out.

How can you change the size a line WITHOUT resizing everything? I've made a building something similar to a dome that goes around 1/4 of a circle. It is similar in a sense to the Burj Al Arab hotel. The problem I have is with the vertical height of each face along the outside. The vertical height of each floor (face/side) is at an backward length. I would Like to set the absolute value of the length for each face without scaling EVERYTHING. So, instead of a height of ~74' 7" I could change it to 50' Would I need a plugin for this? Do you know of one? It would be nice if I could dimension everything like Inventor/AutoCAD and then click and directly edit a length to what I want.

You are the best.

that is freaking great video, I comprende!

Another good one. :)

thank for ther information, I like it.

Is there a way to just a single littel tooltip taht shows the dimension of the selected item ? Cause I just want somehing a simple as that. When a rescale something, I only see the multiplacating factor (ex: Red Scale: 1.50), but i would want that in inches.

Very useful tip. Thanks

great video, thanks !

Real useful....Thanks a lot

how do you do fine adjustments when moving a face, group, etc? cause what i see happens when i move something is it SNAPS to some key points, or grid.... Also, if you wanted to resize, or simply create something of a precise size, withOUT resizing everything in your project, how would you do that? for example, i draw a rectangular window on the wall, and i want to make it exactly 14.45x25.80 inches, is that possible?

Thank you very much it helped me a lot ...:)

Thank you very much man!!!!!!!!! Very much!!!!

Thanks mate!

Holy crap this was so helpfull!

is there any way to resize certain parts of the model? say i have several models within one file or project as concepts but i want them to be like real scale, some models are bigger than the others

You saved me man!

its really helpful thanks

Can I somehow scale the components too?

Ya every time I do that it just undo what I did and keep the old length

thanks dude!!

do you know how to make the tape masure in meters and centimeters?

THANK YOU!

Very useful, thanks :)

Thanks for your tutor.

very nice video well done sir

here the hole model resize because of one thing.. can i resize this one thing without resizing the hole model ? because i just finished drawing my building but using unreal mesurements,so i want to resize every single thing in my model to real mesurements. can i do that ?if yes please tell me how. thank u

how do you get the resize option!!

Thanks!

Doesnt work, I don't have the option to type in my measure when I click on it.

Thank you

How true! Really funny! :D

Did you have to build a whole damn house in order to show that simple trick?!

Thankyou! :D

thanks a lot !!

thanks!!!

this is what I want to know too! I don't know why you can't just resize the selected item instead of the whole model.. :(

THank you

when you open sketch up you can change the scale to be metric

OK, Jesus Christ with the snarky comments about this video. This video was super-duper useful. Thanks.

how can you easily make a square the dimentions you want. please reply someone! thanks :)

Very helpful 5/5

thanks time saver

thank you~~~

Wow. You just saved me a lot of time. I am truly grateful. What a fantastic tip. Liked, check, Subscribed, check. Looking forward to seeing and learning more. I may just have found the "SketchUp Whisperer". FOR GOOGLE +: If anyone needs to resize a complicated model that you have spend hours building check this out. Today I almost had to change my model size bit by bit because I am building as I am making the drawing. I messed up a cut which caused the whole worry of many more hours spent on SketchUp. That is until I saw this video.

thank you so damn much

How to wake up that dialog box? My sketchup does not ask me if I want to resize it. Why the quality is so low? I am not able to read anything in the video. Why the sound is so low? I do not understand the comment. The trick could be surely explained in a few second. Why this have 6 minutes without any information?

real trick starts at 2:40

Make the selected item into a group or component, then edit the group, then resize it.

Action starts at 3:00 ... great video btw, thanks

240p???

dosent work i click enter and nothing

this sucks.. when i measure and click enter nothing comes up.. saying do i want to resize.. stupid google..

this video made my motion sickness kick in. ugh

Same problem (Mac OS 10.6) in Sketchup 7 -- but it works in Sketchup 6. But "stupid google" seems unfair. I'd like to be that stupid.

Steve Jobs, is that you?

reed the guide careful, you loll!

Great information. But can you get to the point quicker please.

hello 240p my old friend...

Aidan. I think you make GREAT vids. Always very informative. However, for me, you tend to orbit too much. The presentation becomes a bit dizzying at times. Might help if you take your hand off the mouse while you are discussing something that doesn't require you to point at it to make the viewer understand it.. This way, you won't have a tendency to move the mouse about quickly and unnecessarily.

can you get to the point any slower?

GET TO THE FUCKIN POINT!!!!! Jeeeez

These measurements are absolutely moronic. 5:06 2"4' 76° 46/94 inch so simple, 1.8m just so complicated...

Your resolution is terrible
