Original subtitles

Hello guys and welcome to

this new class in where we're going to start

a new section where we will focus on

the different traits that SketchUp offers us.

Here we can see the Default tray.

In this Default tray,

we have different traits depending on your own settings.

I mean, if I go over window the full tray here,

you can adjust the trace that

will appear here in your Default tray.

In this class, we'll start with the entity Info tray.

Actually, we have been learning about

this tray from almost the beginning of the course.

In this class, we will review

the different possibilities that we can find here.

So firstly, it will depend on

the element that we have selected before, e.g.

here. If I select this element,

then in the entity Info tray,

I can check everything about this geometry.

First of all, it is said that it is

a component and it is set as well,

that we have just one in model.

At the same time, we can check in

what duck is placed this element,

we can enter here a name for this component definition.

And here we have four different options.

First one will allow us to hide the component.

If we wanted to unhide it,

we should go over edit and height last,

as we usually do.

We can lock this component as well.

Then the color becomes read.

This lock option is the same as if I

click the right button, lock or unlock.

And then we have this last two options which are

related with another tray called saddles.

This santos tray, we will learn

about the south Australia in a specific episode.

So this is not the correct moment

for talking about these two options.

However, if we select a line instead of a component,

the entity Info will be different.

We can change that here easily,

take into account that we have another tray called docs.

There will be another specific episode about that.

Now we have just one tag called an dark.

So here there are no more options.

We have the length of that line,

which could be very,

very useful and we can soft or smooth that line we

did on a specific class about

these options so we know how to use it.

And then in these toggles option, we can hide,

but we can't look,

we can't use this third option about receives settles.

We can use the fourth one.

This is because of the nature of this entity.

It is aligned.

And then we have some options available,

but not all of them.

If I move on to the next entity

or surface, and I select it.

And then we can take here that we have two colors.

These two colors are talking about

the front color and the color of the face.

If those colors are the default colors,

then here we don't have any difference.

But if I apply e.g.

this pink here, you will see that

this first thumbnail is talking about the front color.

This second thumbnail is talking about the back color.

Apart of that, it is remarkable that here we

can measure the area of that surface.

This piece of information could be very,

very interesting if we need e.g.

to have specific data about our projects.

Again, hearing the toggles option,

we have some features available,

but not all of them.

We can't e.g. look a surface.

Next entity here is a cycle.

Looked at.

This text is just

in the middle of the screen. I will delete it.

It was placed apart,

but as it moves through the camera,

it became a little bit annoying cycle.

The good thing about this is that

once the circle is drawn,

we can change the radius, let's say three.

And we can change the number of

segments of that conference.

We can know that it can have a very polygonal aspect.

So usually will need to increase the number of segments.

If we forgot to do it before, draw the cycle,

we can do it afterwards from here,

let's say 100, enter this.

Another option is talking about

the length of that side conference.

It can be useful as well.

And the same story with the, here,

I select this arc and then we can change

the radius segments and we

have the length of that arc here.

Let's go with another entity as a group.

If I select a group box,

then here we can read solid group one in model,

we have the duck, we can enter a name for that group.

This another option is not very interesting,

but look at this volume.

We can measure the volume of our 3D model.

We'll need to make a group and then

just select it and go to entity.

Then in toggles option,

we have all the features available.

If we explored the group.

Here, we'll find a completely different aspect

of this entity Info tray.

It is said that we have 18 entity selected.

We have lines and surfaces.

We can just hide or unhide

and change the dark in case that we want to do it.

Finally, we can use as well the entity Info

for editing our dimensions.

We can change the color,

the dark, the font.

And if we expand this,

Advanced attributes will find here more options.

We can change the texts from here and

even the alignment if we have addressed,

let's say text, enter and we select it,

go to Entity Info again.

Here we'll find different options

in order to edit that text.

As you can see, this tray is super, super handy.

I recommend you to use it in a very regular basis.

So don't forget about it

when you are drawing in SketchUp.

I hope that you like the class.

And in the next episode,

we'll go to another different tre, call materials.

It is one of the most important and dense ones here.

So maybe I will have to split that class into two parts.

So we're ready and see you in the next class.
