Hello, nice people and welcome to

this new episode in where we are going to learn

how to draw using these first tool we have here,

as it is the line tool,

we will use as well,

this free hand tool.

But to be honest,

the most important one here is without any doubt,

the line tool, the shortcut.

We already know that it is the letter L.

And once we hit on it,

first thing that we have to do is just one single click,

release and then move around our mouse,

then a second click in my desired position,

and I would have my first line.

So first tip here is when you draw a line,

click your left button and release.

Then move your mouse till

the second point and second click.

Because another option could be to click and drag

holding down the mouse and then

release wherever you want.

But the thing here is that you

can't draw a continuous line.

You have to start again,

can drag, holding the mouse, then released.

And as you can see,

you are starting a new line. Instead of this.

If I click and release and then I move around my mouse,

when I choose my second point,

I can still continue

drawing this shape using the same line,

which is very handy and useful.

Furthermore, if I use this way for drawing lines,

and I will repeat the same operation,

one click and release.

And then I can move my mouse around the space.

I can as well type

a precise length on the lower right corner,

e.g. 20 m, Enter.

And here we are.

If I want to now to release this line,

I should be asked tap either escape or the Space key.

So remember when you add row in SketchUp,

it is a good policy,

not just with this tool,

but with all the drawing tools.

Click and release.

Instead of click and drag,

I will erase everything here.

And let's continue drawing lines.

But this time, I would like

to point out one very important tip,

as is the use of the axis when we are drawing our lines.

So e.g. one first click here,

and then if I move my mouse around on one moment,

my line will become green,

which means, of course,

that line now is parallel with the green axis.

Second click, and here we have our line escape.

And I will repeat this operation,

but this time, drawing the line parallel to the red X.

In addition to this,

I can lock their access well,

using the arrow keys, e.g.

one-click here and then left arrow,

and you will see that the line becomes thicker.

So if I move my mouse around,

the line is still parallel with the green axis.

And at the same time,

I can use the inference that

is SketchUp is suggesting mean.

Summing up the left arrow is going

to look the green axis,

up arrow is going to look the blue one,

and right arrow is going to look the red one.

So this is very useful because when we're drawing NSAID,

we can use The looking access to and at the same time,

SketchUp is going to give us some inference, e.g.

here, if we want that line the same

length as its parallel one click,

then we'll stop that line exactly at that point.

And we can close our setup easily,

as you can see now, if I move my mouse along any line,

the SketchUp is going to snap some important points as

the mid point of the line or the end point.

Furthermore, if I choose

the line and I click right button,

I could use this divide tool, one click,

then the line will be divided into equally spaced length.

If I move my mouse,

I will change the number of segments.

In addition to this,

I could type in the number

of segments in the lower right corner,

Let's say e.g. four, Enter.

And if I select my line again,

you will see how the line has been

divided into four segments, into four pieces.

This is one way for dividing a line,

but I could do it in another way.

I will click letter L.

I will use the inference to

start my line at this 0.1 single

click on second point here for

making this line the same length as its product.

Now this line is a continuous line,

but you have to take in mind that if I draw

another line which is in contact

with this previous one, e.g. this one.

Then I have a split up the line into two pieces,

1.2, I will repeat this operation.

One-click here, second click,

and then the line is splitted into two different pieces.

So either I can divide a line or

heal that line and make the line continues again.

For doing this, I should just select

that it's drawn off the line and belated,

then the line has been healed.

The same here.

Here we are.

Having your line continues.

Normally, it's gonna be good for you.

If I select the line and I go to Entity Info here,

I can check the length of that line.

If the line is divided,

I will not find here

the complete length at

the same time when my line is divided,

like in this example,

when I use the Post poll tool.

Here you will see how those segments

become vertical lines and divide my surface.

So now I should use

the erase tool and fix the surface at the end.

More work, Let's jump now into the next tool,

the free hand tool,

which I have to say that it is very simple.

In my experience, in my work experience,

I haven't used this so much in order to use it.

Instead of click unreleased.

This time we should click and hold the mouse.

Then we move the mouse creating the shape.

And finally, as always,

we need to close the line in order to create our surface.

Here we are. Once here.

Of course, we can extrude

the elements and create a 3D model.

We will finish the class here,

and in the next episode,

we'll talk about the rectangle tool,

the rotated rectangle, the circle on the polygon.
