AMarshall Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Here are a couple tips that might help you: When you make parts for the table, turn then into groups or components. This will put a "bubble" around a part like a leg, and make it easier to work with. If you don't do this, any part that touches another part will get "welded" and you won't be able to get them back apart again. The easiest way I know to copy something is to click on it to select it, then use the old Control-C to copy and Control-V to paste. There are other ways of course, and eventually you might find yourself using the Move tool with the Control key instead. Let us know if you need more help!

LordLQQK Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I can draw a basic table shape, however when I try to duplicate I run into problems. HELP! wdworker Best thing is to watch someone who can, second best is to watch the tutorials on youtube or other. The easiest way I can TELL you to do is to make the table parts components, then you can Crtl+C and Ctrl+V all over the place. Do a Google search for instructional videos for SketchUp. Or if you are in the chat room past 9:30pm EDT tonight, I can give you some direction. LQQK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpLev Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 kinda ironic - I just posted a video that might be helpful both with the 'component' issue, with duplicating issue, and with the 'running into problems' issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
