          He may not be a native English speaker, but Csaba can snore in many languages very fluently.

                Hi to you all, intereior designer by trade. Im relatively new to sketchup. I am used to using Solidworks. In that, you can create a plane to sketch on using a plane tool. Is there anything in sketchup that would do that ie a plugin. I find it awkward sketching to draw. This would help immensely. Thanks for listening and big thumbs up if you reply with a viable solution.

                Col

                  Hi Colin and welcome!

                  In SU, you do not (necessarily) need a plane to sketch on. If you are drawing looking down (top view), SU will automatically draw your 2d sketches on the red/green plane.

                  However you can always draw a big enough rectangle and sketch on that if it feels more comfortable that way.

                    just checking -

                    ive been using su for a total of about 45 minutes now πŸ˜† (but i managed to get some images out for a presentation) πŸ‘

                    actually i learned 3d on alias wavefront back when dinosaurs roamed the earth but it was so cumbersome and pricey that i bailed before i ever became proficient at it. my background is in custom metal work and ive run into a plethora of issues right off the bat but its very promising overall, just need to take the time to learn (or unlearn) and get a rhythm going to the work flow.

                    i currently have 2d dxf to G code to a cnc cutter then on the brake presses and such to bend it all up -

                    what im missing is the ability to sketch up concepts, narrow them down, and then plug them into my current process. i noticed a "folding" plug in - not sure if it applies, material thickness is a big factor in steel.

                    anyways, thanks in advance πŸ’š

                      Hi inkster and welcome. If you work with metal, maybe you will find some of these plugins useful:

                          Hello to everyone ! πŸ˜„

                          My 'name' is Gaius .. I'm from Serbia ... from 'shity little mountain town'(like in South Park πŸ˜„ ) called Sokobanja. I'm a huge fan of SU ...
                          I used to draw my town and I manage to finish about of 50% of it. It was a job for about a year and a half. Now I have some issues I got to work on, but when I finish all, I will present to you, so you can tell me is it any good, and I need come critics about it so I can make it better.

                          I hope we will manage to help each other! That's it for now ...

                          Stay safe!

                              Hi my name is Andrew.
                              I am a trim carpenter out of Indiana, I am somewhat new to sketchup.
                              I usually will draw a sketch of a project by hand for clients, but I would like to use sketchup more so I can play with more ideas without having to erase and re draw. Anyway, I am kind of stuck on one of my sketchup drawings for a wine cellar that I have to build. I don't really know how to use this forum completely but if any one would like to help, I don't know how to put a picture of what I am doing in sketchup to show what I need help with. Any help would be really great.
                              Thank you and I look forward to using this forum more often.

                                Hi Andrew and welcome!

                                Below the text area where you type your forum post, there is an "Upload attachment" tab (if you scroll down a bit maybe). There you can attach images but sometimes the real skp file is the best.

                                      Hi All,

                                      Names Andrew and I work as a CAD technician in a small practice. I've done a number of renderings before, but they were mostly made using dxb exports from ACAD and then coloured/textured/etc though Photoshop & Illustrator, so I haven't really fully utilized all that SketchUp has to offer. I'm already downloading some great plugins and playing around with all the different possibilities this program has.

                                      Nice looking forum here, I look forward to getting to know the community πŸ‘

                                      Cheers,
                                      Andrew
