Hello people and welcome to this new class

in where we're going to do an exercise,

in where we are going to practice tools as the arts,

the offset tool and they follow me tool.

Our goal will be to draw a base

in three d. We will support ourselves with an,

a specific image which

of course is attached with the course.

So first of all, we have to go over file and

import will click on here on the base J peg image,

all supported image types import,

as we already know,

first click on the iridium and

then we can choose a random skill.

The image is on the ground floor,

and now it's up to you if you want to work on

the ground floor or maybe you prefer to change the plane.

This is up to you in order to

change a little bit our habits.

This time I will work on the vertical plane.

So once the image is selected, Rotate, tool, one,

click and hold, I choose

the correct plane for that rotation.

In this case, the red plane is okay for me.

I released second click,

third Click, Here we are.

I will erase this lady and we are ready for drawing.

So let's go over camera parallel projection.

And here we'll choose not top but front.

Now the first step will be to draw

a section of this vase in

order to use the following me tool

afterwards around a circular path.

This way we will get a 3D model.

So line tool, letter L,

I will start here in the middle,

because we have a symmetry,

I will draw just one half of the base.

This element is completely horizontal,

don't trust to match the photo.

We know that this surface is straight, so till here.

And now it is high time for using the arc.

This exercise is thought in order to

make you practice this arc tool.

Or in other words,

to learn how to use or how to draw curves in SketchUp.

So arc will use the two point arc,

first two here, second click More or less here.

But I forgot one important step to

change the number of sides of this arc.

So I will press Escape.

I will choose another tool as the Selection Tool.

Again, Arc tool sides 12th,

let's say 20 for the double.

Now I am ready.

Again.

One-click, second click More or less here I move

the arc in order to adapt my curve to the photography.

Here could be okay.

So third click, unreleased here.

Second part of the curve,

first click and release.

We can see that blue color,

which means I remind you that that

curve is going to be tangent to the previous one.

We can adapt here,

are curved to the profile of the base.

Second click here.

Click here without any movement.

Let's keep going.

Third curve, one-click that see,

the second click could be more or less here.

And third click.

Pay attention to that message is

not important at all for Claire.

One-click and you can see here that maybe

our curve is not so precise, right?

If I want to be tangent to

the previous one and follow the profile of the various,

I am not, let's say being very, very precise.

Well, maybe here, Let's try here.

If not, you can go one step

back and draw the previous curve in a different way.

I will try with this curve.

Here we are. And I keep going, Not bad.

My suggestion here is to try to draw

this vase with the minimum amount of curves.

If you use a lot of curves,

the final result will be,

let's say not that continuous us.

If you are able to use the hash,

let's say four or five,

a minimal amount of curves.

So here I will try to go till the end, e.g.

here, now line, because here we can see a curve,

but this is because of the perspective.

If we're drawing our gut playing,

we know that here the base is

completely a straight right here.

We could block the red axis by clicking the right arrow.

Then I take this reference and I close my section plane.

Now we have this half of the base.

But you have to think that this vase is not a solid.

Actually, it is empty inside.

It has some kind of thickness,

but the interior of course,

has to be empty.

It might be that we want to put inside

some flowers or whatever letter F.

And we hit the offset tool.

We hover over this phase

and it lights up, one-click and release.

And let's choose this thickness using,

let's say our intuition,

it is not needed to be completely

precise because we don't have actually that measure.

Now we have to fix a little bit

this profile letter L. And I will fix

This bottom of the base and the upper surface in

order to create the whole E for the eraser.

And now I can be laid the left overs.

Here we are.

Now we are totally ready for using the Follow me tool and

create a kind of surface of revolution.

But we need our path, right?

So we could hide e.g.

this image right button height.

We hit the cycle tool,

we change the number of sites, let's say 50.

Eye orbit a little bit,

one click on the center of that cycle.

Second click. Once we have our path,

it is high time for using their Follow me tool.

So first thing that we have to do is to

select the path, then follow me.

And then we hit on

the surface that we want to follow that path.

Here.

Maybe we have to wait a little bit

because SketchUp has to think.

So here we are.

The base is already done.

We have an empty space in the interior in

order to play as flowers or whatever,

we could reverse phases by

selecting everything right bottom reverse spaces.

We could make a group here and

place it exactly on the ground floor.

Because if I select the front view,

we can see that it is floating a little bit.

We could even scale it,

because now if I measure the height of these ways,

it is 4.77 m.

It is a lot, right?

Let's re-scale the various

them using the tape measure tool.

If it pops up the icon of

the guideline near our tape measure tool,

then we have to tap control.

Second click on the top of the vase.

We introduce them in the correct measure,

let's say 0.4, enter this window pops up.

You want to resize the model? Yes.

And now we have the vase in the correct size.

Now, if you want to set the file, go over File,

Save As this is all,

I hope that you like the class.

If you have any doubt,

don't hesitate to leave a comment

and I will respond as soon as possible.

And in the next episode,

we will do another exercise where we will keep

practicing all the tools that we have learned till here.
