1. Introduction: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the third part of the course called Sketch of for Beginners or how to create a complete really house from scratch even if you have never done it before. I'm very happy to see you here because it's telling me that you like the first and the second part of this course and that you want to learn how to create the other elements off your trading house in the second part of this course, if you have created the paving and the basement off the house in treaty. Besides that, you have discovered some new tools like the Bush total and how to move objects with the movoto. In this, her part of the course, you will discover how to change the measurement units from meters, two centimeters, how to create the external walls of the house, how to make the holes in these walls for doors and windows and how to create simple doors and windows. For all these elements, we will be using the drawings with exact measurements which work and followed below this video. So if you're ready to discover how to create all these new elements in sketch up, click the broad enroll button below this video and I'll see you inside 2. How to Create the 3D Walls: Hello and welcome to the first video. In this video, we will create the exterior walls off our house in treaty. As you can see on the screen, the floor plan off our house is 1500 by 900 centimeters big and the walls are 20 centimetre stick. Until now we used meters as measurement units and from now we will use centimeters. So that would be the first thing that we will change in our mother. In order to do that, open your model that you saved last time and then go to window select model fo and from this drop down menu, change meters, toe centimeters and close the window. Now because we are creating the new element off our treaty house, we will create a new layer. As always, You can do that by clicking the plus sign on the right side of your screen. We being the layers section and rename the layer one toe walls and then select the left bottle on the left to make it active. Now everything is ready for the three. Their world creation. So the first thing that we're gonna do is to create the rectangle tool and draw a rectangle that will be 1500 by 900 centimeters, speak by entering its precise dimensions in the bottom right quarter. Now we will zoom in a little bit, and now we will use a new tool that is called the offset. So we really use this tool to create a thickness off our walls that is 20 centimeters, so click on it to make it active. Hover over the face off the rectangle, and when you see these red dots on the sides or direct angle, click once and then move your mouse toe the center off the rectangle. Click somewhere and in the bottom, right corner entered 20 toe. Make the world's 20 centimetres thick. As you can see we have to face is the external one that our our roles and the internal one that is the shape we don't need anymore. So we will select it on press delete on the keyboard to delete. We just have created the shape off our floor plan and the thickness off our walls off 20 centimeters. The last thing we need to do is to use the push bootle toe, make these walls treaty, However, over the face off the walls. Click on them, Move your mouse up. And because he won't our roles. Toby, 300 centimeters high, entered 300 in the bottom right corner. Zoom out a little bit. So, as you can see, we have just created the external balls off our house. And in the next video, we will start creating the holes for the doors and windows off our house. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you there. 3. How to Create the Holes for Doors and Windows: Hello and welcome to the next lesson in the last video we hear created the treaty Volts off our house and now the time has come to make the holes for future being those indoors. In order to do that, we will use these drawings with exact measurements off the front side and back elevation. We will start from the front elevation and we will use some helpful guidelines that will help us create the false at the exact places we will start by creating the horizontal guidelines. And the 1st 1 will be 90 centimeters from the ground and the 2nd 1 will be 240 centimeters from the ground. So we will open our treaty model, select the tape measure tool and starting from this bottom side off the wall, we will enter 90 in the bottom right corner and then starting from the same line and taking care of that, we are parallel to the sad axis 240 centimeters in the bottom right corner to position them correctly. Now we will again open this droving. And the first week, though, is 180 centimeters from this left side, and it is 150 centimeters wife. So we will zoom out, drawing really and starting from this left side and going parallel to the red access. Enter 118 the bottom right corner to exactly position this Kydland at that distance. The next one is the way off the first window and it is 150 centimeters. By opening the drawing again, you can see that the second window is 210 centimeters from the 1st 1 and it is also 150 centimeters. Wife, So we will enter to cover it, then in the bottom right corner and then 150 toe make the with off this second window. The third window is 50 centimeters from the 2nd 1 and it is also 150 centimeters. Why? So we will enter 15 and then the weight off the window that is 150 centimeters. We will zoom out a little bit, open the growing, and now we see that the entrance door are 50 centimeters from the third window and they are 120 centimeters wide. We will open the model and creates the guidance at 50 cent images from the third window and 120 for the doors with the last window is 160 centimeters from the doors and it is 150 centimeters wide. So we will enter 116 and then 150. We have positioned all the false offer with those and in order to make the whole spirit lose direct angle tool, draw old the windows at their positions, the doors and the fourth window. And now we will make the holes by using the push. Balto, how resume a little bit to show you exactly what you need to do now. As you can see, if we have er over the square off our window, click on it and move. I feel you see the message on the face and then click again. And that is how you make the holes in the world again. The second window click on it, moving to the center of the house. And when you see the message take again. Another great thing about sketch up is that it makes sometimes life easier. So the next one you only leave toe double click on it and on the door to and the same way double click on the last window. As you can see, we have created the holes for our in those and the door in the front window. Now you can delete the guidelines and allow move on through the second Whoa, where we only hear one small window that is 180 centimeters from the ground, and it is 60 centimeters high. The horizontal position. All the window is 420 sent him. It is for the left side, so we will open our model selling the tape measure pool. Start with the vertical guideline at 420 centimeters from the left. The next one is the wind off the window, that 60 centimeters. And then we will make the horizontal guidelines from the bottom at 180 and the last one is 60 centimeters. For the Windows hype, we really use the rectangle tool to draw the position of the fall and by using the push pull tool, move from it to the center of the house and when you see the message on face, click again. As you can see, we have created the hole for our window. Now you can delete the guidelines and by using the same principle, you will make the holes off the windows and the doors by yourself by using the exact measurements that you can see. All these drawing we took in followed below this video toe. Make it your own. That'll be all for this video. I'm waiting for the next fund and I'm looking forward to see how you make the holes in the back elevation window. Bye for now. 4. How to Create a 3D Window: Hello and welcome to this video. In the last lesson, I have shown you how to great falls for doors and windows inside the treaty walls. And if you can't followed all the instructions from that video, your treaty walls with holes should look something like this. In this video, I will show you how to create a window on how to put it inside the hole. Before I do that, I will triple click on one of the walls off our house toe, select the whole and then right click on it and then select the main group option from the drop down menu in order to group all the walls inside one group. The first window that I will create is this one that is 150 by 150 centimeters, big in orderto that I will first create a rectangle that is 150 by 150 cent. It was big when I zoom in. The next thing I want to create its frame. That will be four centimeter stick toe dough that I will use the officer to click on the face and then click again and in the bottom right corner and four to make its sickness off four centers. We now have two faces on because we don't need this one inside real abilities. Now I want to create my friend Toby three D, so I will use the push pull toe, however, over the face off frame and when selective, I will move up my mouse and in the bottom right corner. I will enter 20 for the height of the frame off 20 centimeters before having the other elements off the window. I will triple quick, forgets and then right click on it and then select the main group option to make the spring a group. This window we have to sashes. So I was start creating the 1st 1 by selecting direct and tool by picking the first corner , toe the left and then moving toe. The middle point off this line while sketch up shows me that I'm in the mid point in the group. When the new rectangle is created, I will then create another frame so out again used off settle, click on it, think again and then enter for in the bottom right corner again. We will not use this inner face, so I will select to make the frame off the sash treaty. I will use the push pull. It'll click on it, move my mouse up, click again and enter AIDS in the bottom right corner. Instead of coping the sesh, I will use the existing one and make a copy of it. But before I do that, I will make a group off this sesh elements by triple picking on its right, clicking and selecting May group from the drop dominant. The copy tool doesn't have its icon on the large tool set on the left. In orderto copy elements in sketch, we will use the move toe in the combination with the control key on your keyboard. So click the corner off sesh. Start moving its paralytic, read access and while dragging, press the control key on your keyboard and then click again. Now we want to create the glass for a window, so we will use the rectangle to again. Click this corner and then click the opposite corner toe. Make our glass to make it respond errant. We will use another great option inside. Sketch up by going toe window on by selecting materials. The materials window will open on the right side of your screen and instead of colors, select the translucent category from the drop down mate inside the translucent category. Select the translucent last blow, left, click on it and then left. Click on the face off directing to make it transparent. After that, that will please the glass right click on it and make it a group before you move the crop it tool. That is the combination of the move toe and the control key on your keyboard. And then click this corn while dragging. Click the control key and then click again toe make perfect cops. The first bless is selective now. He was the selection toe with a combination of the shift key toe. Select the second blast and now so like the move tool to move them both down, taking care off that your apparel toe the sad access and when you are under bull excess, enter for in the bottom right corner by using the selection tool from right to left. Select glasses on the frame, stall the sashes and now again in orderto perfect the position, the sessions inside the outer frank, all the window click again toe move and then taking care off Toby. Parallel with that axis, move them together 16 centimeters down by entering 16 in the bottom right corner. Our window is now in the horizontal position and before moving it toe the corresponding hole Inside war. We want to rotate our window, and we will do that by using the rotate toe in order to do that. So, like the whole window, zoom in a little. And then, from the large tool set, select the rotates to however, over your window. I feel you see this rotation marker in red color.

So that's it. In the next video, I'll assure you how to create the simple three doors for our house. Thanks for watching. 5. How to Create a 3D Door: in the previous video, I have shown you how to create the treaty windows, and in this one I will show you how to create a three D external door. Before I do that, I will show you what to do in the situation where you forgot toe. Create a new layer before creating a new element for your treaty. Mother. As an example, I will use the windows that I have created in the previous lesson, and this is how to do it. First, we need to create a new layer renaming layer well with those breast cancer and then make these newly or practice by using the selection tool from left. Arrive instead off right left. Because that way we was also select the walls, which is not what evolved. So the left from right and by using the orbital toe, rotates the view a little bit. Select other, trailing those by pressing the shift key on the keyboard and the selection tool from left to right. When the windows are selective, you can see that in the layer books within the entity E. For there is no layer selected, open the drop down menu and select being the slayer. That way the problem is solved. And if you want to check, you can select the layer zero to be active and by checking and checking the windows layer, you can see that everything is out. Okay, we will know. Start creating the treaty external door. First thing first president plus signing the layers section renamed Layer around the door pressed enter and make this new layer active. The measurements all the extent door is 120 by two other than 40 centimeters. Select the rectangle tool from the large still set. Draw a rectangle and in the bottom right corner, enter 120 comma 204. The first element off the door will be afraid and created. We will use the offset. It'll click on the face of the rectangle and again and in the bottom, right corner and five toe make its thickness off five centimeters. The frame of the door will be different from the frame off the windows because it will only have three sides. But if we erase these lines, we will also erase the face off the door. So we will undo this and is that we will add some additional lines with a pencil to here. Here, taking care of that are viral with green axis, and by using the beer a stool, we will be raised these parts of the line and these lights. That way, we have created the tree side of shape off the door frame and now toe. Make it treaty. We will use the push Balto hover over its face, click on it and before clicking the second point and 20 in the bottom right corner. This is another way to create a three D element within sketch up. And when this new element is created, select selection toe. Three people click on it rightly on it and select May group option from the drop down menu to make it the group. Now we want to create a panel of the door so we will use the rectangle tool again. Click in the bottom left corner, used the orbital to view the opposite corner and then click again. The thickness off the door panel is five centimeters, so we will use the push Balto. Click on it and before clicking the second point off the heights, enter five in the bottom right corner again. Selection tool. Republican it right, We're going to make a group. The next element off the door will be a door. Know that we can create very easily and in orderto position on the right place within the door panel, we will use the paper measure toe click on the operetta line off the panel and before clicking again, enter 100 fan in the bottom right court. Then we will create another guideline that his five centimeters from the side of the channel and other one that is eight centimeters to make the wig off the doorknob at the height will be eight centimeters up and a centimeters with the rectangle tool. Allah create rectangle and give it height funds centimeter by entering one in the bottom right corner. I will know. Believe these unnecessary guidelines and great you waas at four centimeters from this side and aides said from the side toe make percent. We will make some additional guidelines off 12 centimeter in all four sides to make the new element off both no, by using rectangle tool and make it high off a set of readers. Now, I will use the guideline toe put it two centimeters from this side. Draw a line with the pencil tool and by who's push pull Tool Island being the final element by entering 15 in the bottom right corner for the length of this start. Now zoom out a little bit free, probably calling on making the group by selecting the option from the drop down menu, click the Zoom Extend school to see the old model village, the guidelines, and now the doors are positioned horizontally. What we want to do is to rotate in tow, become vertical, so we will use the selection to select the door from right to left, because we want to select all the elements off the door. And now, like we rotated the windows in the previous lesson, maybe he was the rotate all. And when the red rotation marker shows up, click this corner and the second corner and by moving your mouse, dated and enter 90 in the bottom right corner for the angle of 90 degrees. How we want to move the doors from here here so we will use the move toe and move our door toe. It's right position inside a treatable, and that's it. for this video.
