As always with Matthias you learn something new, and in a quick, concise, and comprehensible manner.Thank you for this helpful advice, it's very much appreciated. :)
Thank you a lot. Congratulations for each video of your channel... All your tutorials are amazing. I am from Venezuela and I have a carpentry channel in spanish and I have learned a lot with you and your channel. Thank you Matthias.
Hi Matthias - Nice video, which I saw years ago and just reviewed again. Used this to create a side view scene for a small woodworking project, saved that as a tif file, then used your BigPrint program to make the calibrated paper template. You're stuff is really useful!
Oh, that is always a tough one. I used "microsoft video 1" in camstudio. But then the whole thing got re-encoded after editing with a different codec! A key to making it look nice is to capture at the same resolution and keep that throughout. In my case 1280x720
Thank you for clarifying this. I was banging my head on the wall trying to figure it out. I still wish there was a 3d program out there that would do a dimensioned layout of my solid models, like SolidWorks, but actually affordable. Sketchup Pro with Layout can, but apparently it doesn't even do dashed hidden lines without convoluted workarounds with semi satisfactory results, or needing plugins for something that should already be there. I've been making my models on Sketchup and then redrawing layouts on cad, which takes a serious amount of time.
Thank you MAtthias Wandel...you are a great TEACHER.. precise words matching whats shown on the screen.. very easy to understand..you are doing a favour to engineering student community.. i am recommending these to all my students.. great job..thanks once again..
Great video! I think the layers are the most powerful feature of Sketchup. I make it a rule that everything in my Sketchup model is in a layer other than layer 0. This system works especially well if you are working on anything that resembles a box (including a drawing of a room). By assigning a layer to each side, I can quickly see anything inside the box without making special views by simply turning off layers. If you ponder this, you’ll realize that exploded views are not really necessary.
Microphone was next to the keyboard, and the vibration transfer qutie well. It's really not that loud in real life. but the sound is kind of cool in the video.
Matthias , примите мою благодарность за урок : " Using scenes and layers " . Хотя язык я не знаю, но достаточно доходчиво и без понимания языка. Я уже в течение нескольких месяцев наблюдаю и учусь у Вас по конструированию станков и приспособлений к ним , а теперь вот и в проектировании. Иван. Украина.
I think this is the best and I tried pretty much all of the others. However, I kept seeing my text and dimensions from my "Assembly" appear in my "Main" scene. I did not grasp at first, that text and dimensions are entities and all entities must be selected and put on a specific layer. I prefer not to click the layers button to the left (which I understand can present problems). For me it is best to just select every dimension and/or text and choose the layer for it in the entities info box (safer)
Hi, thanks for your tutorial. If you want to change something in your design and have already made the scenes, you have to recopy the modified object in every scene? I am new to sketchup, but it would be interesting to have scenes that are relatives to the main scene. i.e. they don't display different objects, they just apply a serie of transformations to the main scene. Do you know if other CAD software work that way?
Ok, I think I got my answer. You can make the table (or its parts) into a component(s) . If you copy a component, modification made to one will reflect on the others.
I've followed your first two videos on creating the table. I can't find the video where you round off the corners of the table top. The last one I watched was creating the mortise and tenon joints. Can you point me in the right direction of that video?
Hi man, good video. But I've got a question, I'm using the Sketchup pro 2017, when I click in the main or the copy to select "ENTITY INFO", the window doesn't appear, I need to do the same as you did with the component, there is another option to get this window?
I just find the answer, there is a panel avalable to make this, is not a tab in these new versión. but I've got another question, when I move the assembly, appears a message that says: the layer will be combined whit another hidden layer. Do you kwon how can I move the assebly layer to the original possition without be combined?, Thanks for your time
Using 2017 version? Scenes are located under the "windows" tab, then hover over the drop down "default tray"menu and tic "scenes" to enable them to appear in the tray. Next, look near the bottom of the default tray (right side panel by default) and click the "+" to add a scene.
unfortunately they have changed location of all the layers and scenes stuff in sketchup make 2016 .... very hard to find. But despite locating them, and watching this video countless times, nothing seems to work quite the same.... despite your wonderfully structured and clear explanations .... because they've introduced more nomenclature like trays, that makes it even more confusing. I finally got it to work, but ... yeesh!
Never mind how many times I set a scene to display only one layer, and update the scene, then the other, attempting to emulate what you're doing here, when ever I go and toggle between scene 1 and scene 2 afterwards sketchup always adds another layer to the display regardless of the updated settings, messing things up. And if I hide the table top in the assembly view, never mind what, it will also disappear in the main view. It's exasperating.
I am having the same issue. It works best if there is nothing on layer0. It will preserve the layers but adds layer0 back every time. I am going try adding a layer right a the beginning before drawing anything.
My idea below worked. Using entity info I moved the whole object to the main layer, leaving layer0 empty. Now all is working like the video. It seems 2016 will always add layer0 back into the scene after toggle.
I've been through this over & over. If I put the original copy on Layer Main & the duplicate on Layer Assembly, when I make a Scene showing only Layer Main, that's what happens, but when I make a Scene showing only Layer Assembly, when I switch to the 1st Scene showing only Layer Main & then back to the Scene showing only Layer Assembly, it always shows both Layers.
Sounds like you may need to add another layer for each section. Start with layer 0 and build the whole project. Then work layer by layer and scene by scene.
I come up with 17,600 RPM. Given the 4" dia x 3.14 = cir of 12.5" To keep it easy I left it at 12". At 17600 RPM the rotation would complete 3.33 miles every minute. Multiply that by 60 and you get your 200 MPH. Now since I took off the .5 " you actually can go a little bit slower RPM than that to obtain the 200 MPH.
Hi Mathias. Excellent tutorial. I have one problem that you may be able to help. When I copy my model to use to pull apart, the original model also gets pulled apart. Do you know how to prevent this happening? Thanks.
Superb video Mathias, however if you can place your mic directly under the key board, each of those irritating key stroke clatters can become absolutely maddening.
