Hi, I am a almost 80 year old man learning for my 'Men Shed'. Awesome series of lessons, never mind the negativity, those should just go elsewhere if they not happy. I am 100 percent happy with Square One.
Thanks Aaron. No surprises there but these Square One videos are nice. Never know when a quick comment or illustration will fill in a small gap on a fundamental. And hugely valuable to a new modeler. Thanks!
SQUARE ONE Perfect for Beginners, thank you for the crystal clear content.
Escape Button! Brilliant. I've been reclicking the pencil to detach for past 2 years. How ignorant, this little tip just changed my world. 🤯
Your videos are very helpful. I appreciate how you explain the precision of SketchUp. Thank you!
Well done. Simple and straightforward with the beginner user in mind.
Thank you for the entire line of Square One tutorials. They are PERFECT for the beginner, which I am perpetually. I use Sketchup about once a year and need to start from the beginning every time. But these tutorials are TOO HARD TO FIND. So this time I made a note of the Square One line. But for other (true) first time beginners they will only find you by accident. Please do something to help true first time beginners find this series.
Gosh... good to see a nice and clear tuto for beginner ! Thank you
Hi, I just downloaded SketchUP a few days ago and so far I think I like it. One thing I really like is the fact you are a good instructor who can actually speak good old fashion American English. AKA I can understand you... Thanks
This was so helpful! Thank you! You are a great teacher.
Thanks Aaron, as a self taught user this has made it allot easier in allot of respects Thanx again
Very helpful. Resolved the frustration I have had with trying to get a line of a certain length.
Great Intro series of videos. Maybe I am missing it, but a video(s) devoted to our underrated, oft forgotten, but always ready-to-serve friend.... the Right Click button who opens up a whole new world for beginners.
Again, great series of videos.
Thanks
Very clear explaination! Thank you!
Thank you! You are a great teacher.
thanks, just getting started, like your style👍👍Lucas
Good, solid, easy to understand learning video for beginers.
Thank you for this concise and great video
hey Aaron! love your videos! I am learning so much :) thanks xx
thanks for your clear explanation
excellent for newbies like myself. thank you so much
Excellent video, thanks Aaron. I am a "beginner" but a self-taught expert ha!, so I need a refresh.
Awesome video
Hi Aaron, I'm new to Sketchup and loving the square one videos. So helpful. I need help on learning how to mirror a copied component using the new flip tool. Thanks!
Awesome for the beginner!!
pumped to learn Sketchup
I'm a new bee, and I'm going to say thank you very one for SQUARE ONE
Is there a way to “bend” a line after it’s been created? Also; coming from Adobe Illustrator, is the a shortcut key to use with the freehand tool that locks the freehand pen to a straight line? Thanks for the great simple explanations, particularly on the curve tool!
very helpful thanks.
Son-of-a-gun! Click and release? Really? Been using Sketchup for 2 years and did not know this! Thank you! 😀😀
Helpful video!
Once you establish the first point of a line and are moving the cursor around stretching the line out to the second point, is it possible to also view the angle in relation to an axis in addition to the length? Or how do I draw a line at a specific angle in the same manner as entering the length of a line. Then once you've drawn the first line the angle reference should be to the previously drawn line. An example might be if you wanted to draw the perimeter of a building lot. They are not always a true rectangle. So being able to enter a bearing and distance to draw each line would be helpful. I know there is an extension for drawing lot lines, but the ability to do this without using that extension or for objects other than lot lines is what I am asking about.
Great series of videos, Aaron. Thanks!
Do you have any playlists for this series? If so, where will I find them?

Perfect vid
Base level question. What version are you in? I’ve got the shop version. It doesn’t look like that. For instance, that selector box on the top right, what is that?
Thanks for this (from a novice)!
Thanks for the video, basics are so important, if you know how they work then you don't have a foundation to build on, no foundation equals poor results plus you can't understand why, that's where many give up.
Question: How does Sketchup know what plane to draw the line on? It seems like it's usually what I want, but often not. For this reason I only draw a line if (1) I can use obvious inferencing, or (2) I'm drawing on the face of an existing object. Do you have recommendations about this?
If you want to draw in plane, have a face to draw on and watch your cursor. You will have a blue diamond under your cursor and the tool tip On Plane when you are drawing on a plane.
These Videos are great. Just some feedback, as a beginner the next video does not auto load, so I don't know where the next one is? - Can I suggest adding a number to the Video Title - i.e. 1 - Line Tool, 2 - Align so that we can find the next video in the relevant series easily?
Thank You so much. I am a beginner.I just got a new laptop, and Lazer cutter. I want to design Miniature Doll Houses and furniture in small scale.
Being very new to SketchUp, is there a written manual or book you would recommend that outline the use and parts of SketchUp?
We don't officially endorse any books, but if you search "SketchUp book for beginners" there are a lot of great options out there. Good luck on your SketchUp knowledge journey! 🤓 📖
I looked for the LONGEST time for the "default" toolbar, it is actually the ''Getting started" toolbar, DETAILS matter, pal
So basically I have a question is a line in SketchUp referred to as an edge?
Yep!
nice Accuracy
Can we use a tablet with a pen on sketch?
Pain, heartache and pain lol...so true
tank u
Glad you liked it!
Hey there, What is that window on the top right, it doesnt appear in mine and would love to get it on my screen so i can follow along better lol
That's Entity Info, and your instincts are right, it's helpful to have it open when you're modeling!
On Windows, you open it by clicking the right-pointing arrow next to Entity Info in the Default Tray or, if the tray is hidden, selecting Window > Default Tray > Entity Info. On Mac, select Window > Entity Info.

@@SketchUp thank you! Moving from Shapr3D to sketch up hoping to up the quality of my designs!
Love to hear it; wish you a lot of success on your SketchUp journey!
How do you make a 45 degree line?
Hi Aaron, thanks for this video.. I am a true beginner. I have a question, 'Entity Info.' does not show up for me, the top right corner of my screen shows nothing, no drop down, etc. When I search for 'Entity Info.' in the help search bar it shows no results. Where can I find 'Entity Info'? Thank you!
Are you on Windows? If so, you may need to enable the 'Default Tray' first. Entity Info is part of that.
I am on Mac, but I found if I right click I see it in the dropdown menu. So all good, thanks for the reply.@@SketchUp
great series. Would be even better if you started with navigating the environment.
쉽프트는 처음 esc는 명령보류.
Do you have videos for iPad ?
We got about 52 of them over here: czcams.com/play/PL-bndkJaV8A7sd2bapTWyre5XcJ8_0jQJ.html

Why are the human models 4 metres tall? its quite confusing to start with..
great info. and this is meant as genuine feedback. but this could have been 2 minutes. just imagine if each tool takes 7 minutes (x20 tools) that's 1h 20m. at 2 minutes we'd know the basics in 40 minutes. Hopefully this is taken and constructive feed back.
Thanks for the feedback! The idea of the Square One series is to go just beyond the basics and show every detail we can manage. Most people can figure out drawing a line in two minutes, but we try to go beyond and talk about modifier keys, inferencing, and alternate modes. also, not to spoil it for you, but there are over 70 Square one videos at this point!!
I don't understand why's there a square one series?
Because a lot of people are just discovering Sketchup right now and know nothing about it.
We have had many requests from people who are not quite ready for the regular Skill Builder videos, but still like the idea of short form video learning. This is our solution for them!
En español por favor
en français svp
7 minutes about nothing.
Sorry almost 8 minutes
It's for starters!
Then keep away from the square one series mate ;)
@@biggim3265 No no, I already know it is for newbies, that's why I'm following the series...
@@jorgeconcheyro Sorry, I know was trying to reply to that Russian dude, couldn't help a bit of sarcasm, thought he was super rude. If someone offers free content and it's not at your level why complain? Just realised he blocked all replies...I guess it figures...
