Question… what precision do i need to use for woodworking? I'm
designing a flag case and drawing in the height of the triangle then
querying the length of the piece. If I set the precision to 1/16" for
ie… I could be off by 1/32" give or take. Is that correct? I'm
confused. H. E. L. P.
This single video is probably worth all of the others combined. Absolutely terrific.
If a majority of users "incorrectly" use the move tool, it sounds like the move tool is poorly designed. The three button mouse and scroll wheel requirement also sounds a lot like “just use MSDOS," it’s better. You should "never use buttons we have put in the UI…" Love the power of sketch up but man the design is hot garbage.
In over 20 years as a drafter and designer I have used AutoCAD, ProE, Solid Works, Inventor, and CAD Key. I have to say that hands down SketchUp is the least intuitive tool I have ever used. Maybe it is because I was trying to do mechanical design work in this software but it was painful.
Good vid
Is this only for paid version of Sketchup as this doesn't look anything like the personal cloud-based version I am using. I've stumbled at the first step – as I haven't downloaded anything onto my Mac, I can't open the Sketchup > Preferences to select Plan.
feel like blender is better inc ase of movement and modification
I sell furniture online and I don't have the budget for photography. Gorgeous pictures make a big difference in sales. I noticed many of my manufacturers use renderings. Would investing in this software and signing up to learn do the trick for me? I want to post fresh content on IG and pinterest regularly with my products. What do you think? I don't have any experience with this software, just a good eye for design
