Hello people and welcome to this new class in

where we're going to talk about the text in SketchUp.

Well, we have two tools here.

We have this tool called text.

The description says Draw text labels,

and then we have this another one,

3D texts, draw 3D texts.

So let's just start with this one, the normal text.

So I'll hit on it.

Then.

We have different options

for writing our texts in a scepter.

Basically, it is going to depend on

where we are going to click with the tool.

The texts will have different properties.

If I click and release

on here on an empty space without human tree,

or I click over any geometry.

If I click on an empty space,

one click and release,

this level will pop up.

And then I just have to type in the text.

Let's write down e.g. portico.

One click outside.

Here we have our text.

This is called Screen text and

its main property be that it would be,

let's say, always facing the camera I am

orbiting and the text is always facing the camera.

If I zoom out and zoom in, the texts,

keep facing the camera and

the size doesn't change at all.

Furthermore, we have another kind of text.

It is called leader text,

will need to click on release on any geometry, e.g. here.

And then the two will ask us about

selecting a second point. Let's say here.

Now the label is available for us to

type in whatever we want.

Let's type in here,

e.g. sunk, one-click outside.

Here we can say that this kind of texts

is made up of two different elements,

the label and a leader line.

We will be able to edit both of those elements.

The third kind of texts that

this tool offers us is called area

text will need to click on any area on any face.

I will choose e.g. this one on the top of the column.

And we need to click here twice very rapidly.

Click, click, then the labeled pops up.

I'll type in here,

capital one click outside.

Here we have this new text I told

you is called area text.

And the main property about these texts

is that as it happens with the screen,

text is always facing the camera.

But when the area in this text is placed,

this appears because we

changed the point of view of the camera,

then the text disappears too.

So summing up, we have three kinds of tests.

A string, literal, text, area text,

if we want to edit, any of them,

will need to go over the model info window.

I remind you that this model info window is here.

Click on this little human being.

Or we can find it as well.

If we go over window model,

then here we have a list of different things.

And one of them is texts.

We can find here three different categories.

Screen text.

This is talking about this kind of

text written in an empty space.

Then we have the leader text, this one,

and then we have this third category called leader lines.

We will use this category in order to

edit this leader lines.

If you are wondering where is the area texts?

The answer is that the area text

is included here inside the leader tests.

So let's start with the screen text.

Here we can read the kind of

type font that we are using and the size.

We can change easily that type font.

If we click on here, Let's say Arial,

Let's change the size, 16, okay?

We can change the color.

We have available different color modes.

And once the changes are done,

then we have to click on this option,

select all screen text.

One-click on here, our screen text is selected, this one.

And then we have to click on selected text.

The text is still selected,

and that is the reason because it is still blue,

one click outside and we can see

how those changes are already applied.

Exactly the same with these and

other kinds of texts. Liter.

Let's go over fonts.

Arial, let's change the font.

Style is time, the size,

okay, and the color, let's say green.

Ok, select all literal text.

And you can check on our Canvas how

the area text is selected as well,

and then update selected text.

One-click outside.

And we can see the changes applied leader lines,

two categories, endpoint and leader and point.

If we expand this window,

we have known dot,

closed arrow and open arrow,

Let's say dot liter.

We have pushpin on View base.

Let's click on view based.

Again, select all liter text

and then update, select the text.

One click outside.

Here we have the changes.

More things about these texts tool.

If I click any of them, right button,

will find here this option text.

So I can easily type in a new text.

We are talking about this literal text.

I select it right button.

I have the same option, edit text,

but I have as well this arrow option.

So I can change this specific leader text

and not all of them as we were

doing before through the model info window.

Finally, it is convenient for you to know

that if we are using these texts tool,

it is very handy to support ourselves

with this entity Info tray one.

We have the text selected through

this tray will be able to change the liar,

even edit this specific text,

change the color, and so on.

So this is all about these texts tool.

Let's move on this 3D text.

One hit on it, and then this window pops up.

First thing we have to do is to write down

the text 40 go again.

Then here we will be able to change the font,

the alignment, and the font style.

And we'll find these different options in order

to field the phases of the letters,

extrude those faces this way,

create a 3D model.

This high is talking about the high in 2D of that text.

And this, another value is the one

talking about the high of the extrusion.

Let's check it here.

Plays one-click and release.

Our 3D text is already placed.

And if we use here that tape measure tool,

you will see that the height is 0.03, as I told you.

And this value, 0.25 m is the one which

was talking about the high in 2D of that text.

I will hit the tool again.

And you can circuit this high is the high in 2D.

This another value is the high in 3D,

the height of the extrusion.

If I switch off this field option and I placed the text,

then we find that the faces are not

filled and we don't have any extrusion.

Because the thing here is that you have to

understand that this text is

like normal geometry in SketchUp.

This element is actually a component.

We could explode it.

And then the geometry can be manipulated easily through

the post poll tool or

any different SketchUp tool, like e.g.

the scale tool, the rotate tool or whatever.

Let's create a group.

Again, make group.

And I'll rotate this text and I will scale it

as well in order to create a more attractive layouts.

So this is all about the texts, tools in SketchUp.

I hope that you liked this lesson.

And in the next episode,

we will see this dimension tool.
