Hello everybody.

In this lesson we will talk

about the shortcuts in SketchUp.

So first of all, what I'm going to do is to import here

the image that is attached with this episode.

Actually there are some of them.

Specifically, we have four images

depending on the sketch our version we are using.

So I should go over File Import here.

We'll choose the correct folder.

Once there and choose the option for desktop Windows,

then I will choose my first point here in the region.

My second point, time to erase this woman.

And I can choose this option some extent

and say that I want to look at this image from the top.

Here we are. I recommend you

strongly that you spend some time trying to

study these different keyboard shortcuts

because as soon as

possible you have to use it

frequently and then

your workflow will improve dramatically.

If you look down here,

we can see which letters of

our keyboard is already assigned with different tools.

E.g. letter Q is going to rotate.

Letter E is going to erase

letter R is for drawing a rectangle.

Letter T will grab the measurement tools.

Let her be very important for Pusan pool,

letter a for drawing an arc,

S for the scale,

for the offset g,

Letter D, which actually in my laptop is doing nothing.

Letter L for choosing the line tool set for

the soon see for the cycle be for the Paint Bucket tool,

which will be used in order to apply textures.

And finally, M for moving.

Different entities.

Pay attention here to the arrow case

because they are super, super important,

they will allow us to look

movement along the different axis.

Left arrow for the green exit,

right arrow for the red arrow

up for the set access, an arrow down,

it is this pink color for drawing orthogonal lines,

we can use as well, of course,

the number of paths in order

to enter different dimensions.

And if you check here all the descriptions,

you will find more options which can be very useful, e.g.

as this one here with the pen tool,

I told you before that you can use the letter eight,

but you can use as well

Sift plus whole middle mouse button.

I click and hold

the middle mouse button and then

we can pan the screen anyway,

during the course, I will all the time

be using all of these shortcuts.

So I think that, yes, Watson, me,

doing the exercise will help you to

remember more and more these different commands.

Furthermore, in this episode,

I would like to show you how to

customize your own shortcuts.

If I go to Window Preferences,

Here we'll find an obscene phone call shortcuts

in where we will easily find any tool.

Here, we have just to type the keyword e.g.

imagine that we want to use these

two here with this I called Look around,

then we type here,

look around, just typing down.

Look, we can find here the function.

Once we hit on it,

it is already selected and we

should just add a shortcut, e.g.

the letter oh, but pay attention here at

this assigned window because

the letter 0 is already assigned.

In your case, it's very likely that you

don't have this letter assigned yet.

So we can write here 0,

then say plus 0 is currently used by camera.

Look around, okay?

Once we have that letter inside the assigned window,

we can say, okay,

and now if I click letter 0,

we can see that we are using the look around tool.

As you can see, it is a very easy process

and a step-by-step.

I suggest you to customize your shortcuts

in order to improve even more our workflow.

Time to say goodbye now.

And in the next episode,

we will do our first exercise in where

we will improve our navigation skills,

practicing with a simple exercise.
