CJC5151 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 hey guys. I watched a 15 min video on sketchup about 5 yrs ago and figured out the basics. I have since started my own company and im now realizing that I need to improve my sketchup skills because I need to be much faster and want more detail. I haven't had something yet that I couldn't figure out but I know there is faster ways to do the stuff than im doing and as u guys know time is money... heres the thing though. im a hands on learner. if I can watch a video and do a particular task along with the video, I will learn much faster. so no books. what is the best video series out there on sketch up. ill buy it if I have to, or is there a utube series. that's how I got started....thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Seach for 'SketchupVideo' on youtube. They have an entire channel of tutorial / howto material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBranch Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 First, I would go to the WoodWhisperer SketchUp videos - they are very good and free... http://www.thewoodwhisperer.com/videos/?category_name=sketchup-video Second, Fine Woodworking produced a video only product which should be perfect for what you describe. You can watch the video and then do what Dave Richards teaches. The download is currently only $12.95 which is cheap in my opinion. Well worth the money and a great teaching product... http://www.tauntonstore.com/fw-google-sketchup-basics-fwg0001.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodger. Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Timely thread. I just created a project in sketchup that took far too long, and need to learn a faster way to duplicate parts and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrdie Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I can't state too strongly how good a resource SketchUp's own YouTube channel is. Their tutorials are well produced, specific to a small amount of information, easily digested and cover a broad spectrum of skill levels. The videos are well titled so it's easy to find the subject you need. Most important, no charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
