‫You guys, welcome back to yet another video now in this video, I'm going to show you how to use the

‫rectangle tool and also to use it right?

‫So the rectangle tool is most often used compared to the line tool.

‫And to activate the rectangle tool, all you need to do is go to your main toolbar and get one the rectangle

‫to.

‫The shortcut for the rectangle tool is art, so you can either press it or you can click on the tool.

‫Like I mentioned before.

‫Make sure to always use shortcuts, because that would definitely increase your speed and workflow.

‫So to use the rectangle tool, you can click ones and like I mentioned before, do not drag.

‫After clicking, simply click ones and release the left click most button.

‫And now if you click the second time, it's going to make your rectangle.

‫So that's so simple it is to make your rectangle.

‫Now, if you want to give a particular dimension to the rectangle, what do you need to do is I'm going

‫to press the spacebar to select my select tool and I'm going to click on the rectangle tool again.

‫Also, if you've noticed, I always switch between the select tool and then domain two.

‫So in SketchUp, it's super important to always keep using the select tool and then switch between your

‫other tools.

‫I like to press hard to activate the rectangle tool and now click once released the left, click Mouse

‫Working, and now I'm going to give a dimension for this rectangle.

‫Now it's super simple to give a dimension for rectangles and sketch show.

‫First, you need to type in the width, so it's going to be 10 feet.

‫And then you need to press coma on your keyboard without pressing enter or any other key and then type

‫in the second value, which is going to be 20 feet.

‫And this is going to be adept.

‫Now you can see in the bottom right corner that they've opened 10 feet or 10 apostrophe comma, twenty

‫apostrophe and then press enter.

‫So boom, you made our rectangle, which is 10 feet by 20 feet.

‫Now, let's say, for example, you want to draw a rectangle on the green axis or on 3-D.

‫So what you need to do is again actuator rectangle tool where pressing on a keyboard?

‫No click ones.

‫And if you want to draw on another plane or in the X-ray plane or x y z plane, I'm not sure which plane

‫it is.

‫You simply need to press the right outlook on your keyboard to it, snaps to that plane.

‫And you can then give a different dimension.

‫So I'm going to give 10 feet, come off 15 feet and then press enter.

‫Similarly, if I want to draw a rectangle on the green axis or on the right axis, I press the left

‫hierarchy and it snaps to this plane and now I can give another value, say twenty five feet.

‫Coma, 15 feet.

‫So that's so simple it is to make it in different planes as well.

‫And finally, if you want to snap it to the planned view, all which is the X-ray plane.

‫The main plane in SketchUp, it's a good idea to snap it by pressing the top at OK, so this way it

‫would not snap to any other object.

‫Let's say, for example, if I'm drawing a rectangle this way, you can see that if I hold it at this

‫point, it gets snapped to this edge.

‫So to avoid that, I press the top arrow.

‫And now it's always snapped to this plane.

‫So now I'm going to give a values here 20 feet.

‫Come on.

‫Thirty one feet and breath and.

‫So that's so simple it is to create rectangles in sketch up.

‫In the next video, we'll be using the offset tool and then give some thickness to rectangles and then

‫make out ones, so I'll see you guys in the next video.

‫Cheers.
