‫Hey, guys, welcome back to yet another video.

‫Now we're going to start off by using a simple inch tablet.

‫So click on the simple instant tempted to start off.

‫Not all the Mac users out there feel free to skip the video and head to the next one.

‫I will be showing how to use ketchup in Mac.

‫It's a little different compared to the Windows version.

‫Actually, a lot more different.

‫But do not worry, I will be showing you what the main differences are in the Mac within the next video.

‫So like any other software out there, you're going to find sketch ups super simple to use.

‫We have the main menu, but the menu tool right on top here and we have the modding tools, the viewport,

‫the default view and then at the bottom we have on the bottom left our hints, which gives us an idea

‫of every tool and on the bottom rate on measurement.

‫So let's look at each of them.

‫One at a time.

‫So starting off is the menu toolbar.

‫So as you can see, we have the file toolbar where you can see if stuff open models and then you can

‫also print save as images, export or to read drawing, among many other options.

‫I would be showing it to you later in the course.

‫Then we have the added option where you can copy paste like any other software control C Control V a

‫universal function, which is an old part of almost every other software.

‫And then we have you where you get to show different kinds of toolbars.

‫So if we got a few toolbars, I can switch on all of these and it would show up on the top here.

‫I'm going to leave it off.

‫No, it's just going to keep it simple.

‫Then we have camera drawer and tools, which is basically the various functions and schedule.

‫I will not be using these dropdown menus as much because I would be using shortcuts instead.

‫And I will show you how to use shortcuts to model faster and efficiently.

‫So we will come back to this other later stage.

‫Finally, we have windows and this is a super important dropdown menu because it's going to be a little

‫different from the Mac version.

‫Now this Windows dropdown menu, you can go default and activate the default you.

‫If it doesn't show up, go to Windows Default Ricchiuti and this is our default radio.

‫Now this is where you get to add materials, add tags, which is also known as layers.

‫Also, we can activate shadows.

‫As you can see, and it's also got a few more good options, so we will be going in-depth on the default

‫later in the main course.

‫For now is just to give you an idea of what you would be able to do with the default.

‫You know, for the Mac users, you would find that you wouldn't get those defaults like this on the

‫rate.

‫You'll generally get it as different windows and I will show to you.

‫So if you want to add or remove stuff to the default rate, you can go to Windows Default three and

‫add any of these.

‫I really keep the outline around because I use it for my sketch up to Unreal Engine workflow, so I'm

‫going to keep that on and the rest of it is default.

‫So make sure you take a screenshot of this and make sure it's the same.

‫If it doesn't show up, you could just go to Windows Default and make sure all of these are picked on.

‫Now, when you're not using the default, you can click on the auto hide button, and it would be it

‫didn't direct you.

‫And if you want to build it, you can simply click on the green button again and it would be pinned

‫to the right.

‫Finally, we have the extensions dropdown menu.

‫Now this menu comes after you install a couple of plugins in SketchUp, as you can see how the BD plugin

‫installed to get movie selected, among many others.

‫We will be using this again in the main course.

‫If only you have help.

‫And like I said before in the previous video, if you want to change your unit's default unit, that

‫is when you start sketch up, you can go to help windows.

‫Welcome to SketchUp and then change the units you.

‫Right then we have our modeling tools, know the bottom, which has the basic molecules from select

‫tool.

‫It is off line.

‫OK, move push, among many others.

‫You will jump to that shortly in the coming few videos.

‫Now, the bottom left is something important, but it gives you a hint of what each tool is capable

‫and which tool you're using.

‫Well, for example, if we click on the eraser tool, you can see that it gives a hint showing that

‫you can erase often or smooth entities in the model.

‫And now, when I call it or the viewport, the hint again changes.

‫But it says select items to erase or drag across multiple items, so they're pretty useful dialogue

‫box.

‫I generally don't check it that often because they know schedule, but for beginners, it comes in really

‫handy.

‫And finally, on the bottom right, we have our measurements.

‫Now this is something which you might want to get right from the start is that you don't really need

‫to click here and nothing happens even if you click here.

‫Because SketchUp reads, What do you type directly into the measurement box you don't really know?

‫Click and presenter.

‫For example, I'm drawing a rectangle going to the same word I would 1ft go my five feet and go, I

‫don't really need to click here.

‫I simply need to type in my measurements simply and then press enter.

‫That's all you need to do.

‫I will be reiterating this later in the course as well so that it enters your head and you don't make

‫the mistake of clicking the measurement box.

‫You just simply type the value and press and hold.

‫So that's a brief on the sketch of user interface in the next video, I will be showing a brief on the

‫sketch of user interface and Mac.

‫So for the Windows users, you can skip to the video after that, which is an introduction to the basic

‫sketch up tools.

‫What's OK is there's no exercise files for this because it's simple.

‫You don't really need something.

‫I'm going to make it in the canvas or in the viewport, and you can make your own shapes and what have

‫you like.

‫So you guys in the next video just.
