All language subtitles for 613241-06 - Model Info - The definitive SKETCHUP course. From beginner to expert.en-US

Hello guys and welcome
to this new class,

where we're going to see
another important tool,

as it is the model info window.

We'd have two ways.

In order to open this panel,

we can go over window model
info just above preferences,

and then this window pops up.

And here we have

all the different categories
available for us.

The other option is to go

down here and click
on this cycle.

One-click and the model info
window is opened as well.

As you can see, we have
different categories,

animation classifications,
components, credits,

dimensions, file,
geo-location, rendering,

statistics, text, and units.

We will see all of them
during the course.

And in this class we will focus

just on the last one, units.

We saw how when we
choose a template,

we are choosing a unit as well

for our SketchUp
document, right?

But we can change that unit once

our document is
opened and we should

do it from here,
model info units.

Then if we move over format
and we expand this window,

will find different options,

architectural, decimal,
engineering, and fractional.

This is up to you.

I am an European guy,

so I am getting used to work
with the decimal format.

And besides decimal, we

can choose if we want
to work with meters,

centimeters, millimeters,
et cetera, et cetera.

Normally I work with meters,

but we can do it as well with

centimeters depending
on the project.

If we're doing a big project,

maybe make more sense
to work with meters.

And if we are designing e.g.

I don't know, I kind of vase
or something like that.

It's small. We can
choose centimeters.

Take in mind that we can
change the units so easily.

So don't worry, once
our length is 2M,

We have to display
the precision.

Decimals are okay.

We don't need more. And
then we'd have to do the

same with the area
and the volume,

not just with a length.

So it makes sense that
the area now we choose

square meters and I'm
volume meters as well.

I strongly recommend
you to have marked

this both options enabled length

is snapping and
display units format.

And then we jump into these
Another Label angle units.

Again, we can adjust
precision 0.0 is okay,

but let's say 0.00 more

precision enable
snapping, always mark.

And this 15 degrees
means that when

we are drawing an angle
every 15 degrees,

the tool is going to
stop in order to mark

those 15 degrees and
make our lives easier.

We can change it, but 15,

in my opinion is okay.

So as you can see, this
panel is very intuitive.

Once we have chosen all
of our preferences,

we can close it.

And if I measure something, e.g.

this high looked at in
our measurement bar,

we can read 8.00 m. So
time to say goodbye.

And in the next episode,

I will give you a piece of

information which I think
that it's very useful.

And it is about how to
open different sketch up

files and copy
different elements

from one file to another.

This is something that normally
it should be super easy,

but clearness gets up.

It is a little bit tricky.

So in order that you don't

have problems during the course,

we will learn how to do it
early when we are just in

the beginning of
the course and then

we will not find any
travel in the future.
