Hello everyone.

Welcome to this new class in where we're going to

talk about the Default tray called outliner.

We will continue with the drawing as

we left it in the last episode.

So we said that we have here

three different entities or concepts.

We have these free geometry

because it is not inside a box.

It is not inside a group or a component,

which can be considered as well as

real geometry because we can touch it.

The key is that we can touch, not geometry.

We have our group and we have our component.

If we expand, they outline their tray.

We will see here that geometry represented

by different names and icons, e.g.

now, this component is selected and we can see

here how this element is selected as well.

This component has this name,

component one, the icon for a component.

And the component, it is like

this rectangle in black divided in four pieces.

If we select the next one,

we can see inside

the drawing that element has been selected.

So we can work in our tool when directly

with the geometry placed in our Canvas.

Or we can go to

this outliner tray and select elements from here,

erase elements from here, because e.g.

if I click right button,

I will find many more options as erase, hi,

look, explode, make a unique, as I said,

many different options that we can select from here.

Let's say e.g. erase. The element has been erased,

it, now it disappears from our outliner tray.

We have just three components.

This one, this one, and this one.

And then we have a group.

The group, the default name is gonna be group.

And the icon for representing groups is

this black rectangle not divided in different pieces.

As it happens with components,

we can hide and unhide

easily those entities using these eyes.

And as you can see,

what we find here is that free geometry,

the free geometry we have to take in mind that

is not represented inside the outliner tray.

Here, we will find just components and groups till here,

easy, but our drawings can be much more complex.

Let's do an example.

Imagine that I select

these three components, right button.

And I say that I want to create a group,

a box to place the three of them inside this group.

Here we are.

Now we have that box which

includes these three components.

Let's check how this is represented in our outliner.

Now we have another group which is already selected

and we have this arrow already expanded.

So inside this group,

we have three components.

I can collapse the arrow

and then we see just the name of the group.

We already know that

inside this group there is something else.

Because we have this arrow.

I click again here.

I'll expand the group and I see what is going on inside.

This is very, very important because in many cases,

you will work with drawings

which haven't been drawn by you.

Maybe you are downloading a model from the warehouse.

And usually they are very,

very complex with many groups

inside groups and components altogether.

And thanks to the outliner,

we will be able to

understand the structure of throwing in

a much more easy way a part of creating groups.

We can destroy those groups, those boxes,

those component boxes, we have gas to select the element,

the group right button explode.

Then that group has disappeared and the elements are now,

lets say free, they are not into another box.

To understand this better,

I think that it could be helpful if you

imagine this kind of, let's say,

organisation as something that you already use

every day when you organize your stuff in your computer,

placing your different files into different folders.

Here I made this example for you.

Currently, I am in windows

inside one folder called group one.

Inside this folder, which could

be any group in SketchUp, that box,

just the box inside the box,

inside the folder, we have more things.

Those things could be free geometry, e.g.

these files or more boxes.

Those boxes could be components or groups.

If I want to work with the geometry,

I have to go inside the box, right?

Like it happens here.

So I should go to group number two, e.g.

click Select.

Go inside, then I will find the real geometry,

in this case, the real files.

One PDF, which could be a rectangle,

a palm tree, a house, a wall, whatever.

But it is the real geometry,

what I call free geometry.

And here we have another piece of geometry.

In this case, another file.

Once I am here,

if I want to go back,

I need to go out from this group one step back,

which means that now I am

outside from that group number two,

but I am still inside this group number one.

And then here I will find another box,

in this case a component.

And inside this box I

will find more geometry, more files.

Again, one step back for going inside group number

one in where I can find as well real geometry already,

because this geometry wouldn't be inside any box.

In this case, files,

which we can already open and work with them.

If I go one step back from here,

then I would go to the Desktop. In SketchUp.

It could be like our canvas.

The plays in where there is no boxes

selected, even one here.

So let's represent that example here in a schizo,

we have one group,

so I will put everything together inside one group.

Inside that group.

Number one, we have in Windows,

another group and another

component and some free geometry.

So I will go inside this group.

We have another group.

We have free geometry,

which can be touched and we can transform this geometry.

And we had another component, just one more.

Note three. So I will erase

this element and another element.

We have just one more component.

We go to the outliner,

we can see the group,

group number one in Windows.

Another group called group number two in Windows,

Let's put the same name, rename Group one.

Here, rename Group two,

component, rename component one.

The fried geometry is not shown here as I told you,

because it is not directly inside another group.

If I go inside any of these boxes, e.g.

let's start with this group number two.

Click, click.

We will find the real geometry which can

be transformed because we

can touch it in the Windows example,

we had two files to different files.

Here we have just one element,

so I could draw another element here.

As you can see, the box is adapting itself

to this new size to cover all the elements inside.

But at the same time in the outliner that

real geometry is not represented just the boxes.

Once we are inside the group and we

want to go one step back,

we need to choose the selection tool,

one click outside from that box,

and then we are already

one step back is still inside the group.

Number one, we can now go

inside this another box called component one.

If I click twice, I go in.

And then in Windows we had as well two elements.

So I will draw another element.

Another element is placed inside

that box called component one.

Again, is not represented in the outliner.

If I want to go back using

just the Outliner, I can do it.

I can select group number

one or even I can select on title.

And now I am outside any group.

Like if we were in the desktop

and we haven't selected any folder yet.

So as you can see,

using the outliner could be very, very helpful.

Well, time to say goodbye.

And in the next episode,

we will continue talking about another concept,

the last one before we start drawing,

which is called reverse faces.
