‫Hey, guys.

‫Welcome to the first video of this course.

‫So to get started, we need to open the sketch up once we've installed the sketch up.

‫And also a heads up, you'll be using the Windows version of sketch up in discourse, although I'm also

‫going to be showing you the Mac versions for certain functions in sketch show.

‫So to get started, let's open sketch up through 2021.

‫So generally, once you install, you'll find the icon in your desktop so you can double click to open

‫it up.

‫And once it opens.

‫You may need to register your email I.D. in case you're opening it for the first time and then log in

‫with that email I.D., which is what you used to download and install sketch.

‫And once you've registered, you can start your 30 day trial license.

‫So once you've done all of that, it's time to set a template.

‫Now you can see that sketch comes with a lot of templates, and if you want to see additional templates,

‫you can click on more templates and you can see the other templates audio.

‫So each of these templates have different kinds of background colors, starting views, units of measurements,

‫bags, and a lot more.

‫It's also got a skilled duty figure in this case, it is Somalia.

‫And here's a fun fact.

‫So every year they publish a new duty figure and those three figures are actually employees working

‫in the UP office.

‫So the actual people and they have themselves represented in this software.

‫Now, if you want to change the default template and sketch out, you can change it by clicking on this

‫item below, so it changes the default template and the next time.

‫Note, for example, if I open this.

‫And the next time you open, sketch up or you click on file, you.

‫It's going to load in with the metric units, if you want to change the default units, simply go to

‫hell and click on Welcome to SketchUp and then you can change the default units again.

‫So in our case, we're going to use the simple inchers, or you can also use the architecture inches.

‫It's pretty much the same.

‫So we're going to use some villagers.

‫So once you've selected your template, just click on the box here and it would open the template.

‫You know, if you want to change the units after you select a template, which I would not recommend

‫is you go to windows.

‫Click on model info and then you click on units and you can change the template you well.

‫But I would suggest that you change the template right off the bat before starting any project.

‫And for this course, we're going to be using the simple inches units.

‫And for all those who work with Metric, do not worry because I will be translating the units every

‫time I get a chance and I'm also going to show you something and sketch out, which is really cool.

‫But you can use both the metric and imperial units while modeling and get.

‫I'm also going to get rid of these plugins for now, because we don't really need them for the basics,

‫cause I will be using them in the main course.

‫So the next we don't want to introduce you to those get up in the face and talk beef about the interface,

‫so I'll see you guys in the next video shows.
