A Welcome Message to New SketchUcation Members
-
Hi I'm a new SketchuUp user using the free version. I'm drawing some plans for a custom made cabinet for my bathroom. I've not been able to find out how to scale the drawing space in relation to what I'm drawing. Without using zoom my cabinet looks lost on the screen. I've watching video tutorials and reading "How to" files all day and I can't find the answer. Any help would be much appreciated.
-
Dakota, the 'drawing space' in sketchup is infinite, so unless you use zoom to get in good and close to your model, everything is going to look lost.
-
Thanks Remus.

I am a new user and would like to know how to create a new material fill.

Hi Dan,
Have a look at the input / Output > Import > 2D Graphic import section of the SU Guide.
There it says about importing images as textures. -
Thank you Gaieus,
It always helps to revisit the manual. Another question I have is, Can you create a fill in SU or do you need to use another program and then import it into SU? I am working on an architectural rendering and want to design and try a number of different siding designs quickly to see what they will look. -
What "fill" do you exactly mean?
-
Gaieus,
I guess I mean a repeating pattern that will fill a plane like the side of a house. Like a lap siding that has texture(3D visual depth) to it.
Thank you,
Dan

Hi all,
I am Botond from Hungary, I just joined the communitiy.
Thanks for shareing links to the video tutorials, I think the best way for me to learn is to watch them first. I am going to have questions after that for sure...

G'day from Australia.. this is my first post so I thought i'd introduce myself. Great site you guys have here, hope we can all learn from one another.
If you get a chance rate my small collection of sketchup models (see signature).. i love architecture and spend most of my time modelling my small city of Adelaide, South Australia.
