I could lock on to a point on the other side of the building and go through two walls to aline them together, plus another one matching a inner wall. MUST ALSO ADD, I used the inferencing feature to match up walls and did not realize the extent of it. So popping out the extra line is cake and the inner and outer are done together. Especially that E (erase) and R (rect) keys are side by side. I was tracing a imported CAD floor plan earlier and realized the time saved by just using rectangle instead of line tool for tracing the walls. It does, the window, automatically alines to the face you select and with multiples, using inferencing to line or square them up.Ĥ_pain window_component_ example.skp (33.4 KB) Then draw your component on it and this way only the component will be selected, being you would have to include the plane on purpose. One thing to add that I got from watching Matt Donley (MasterSketchUp tutorials) is to make the drawing plane a group right from the get-go. Howdy CD,… and just drew a 4 pain fold out window and followed the steps. Here is an old video (SU 6 I think!) running you through the steps You can now save it to your local component library and or upload it to the 3DWH for use in your future projects.
Your component should now reside on the cutting plane and you should be able to find it in the In Model area of the Component Browser. Provide an appropriate name … and then select Create
SKETCHUP 6 COMPONENTES HOW TO
As my first How To post, here is a method of creating a component that cuts through a surface.Īlthough you can activate the cutting feature on an existing component, it can become a complicated knowing how it will cut.
