Tutorials on SU 8 solid tools etc?

CalypsoArt · 9 Jun 2011, 15:25

I just upgraded to SU Pro8 from Pro 7. Any one know of a link to tutorials--preferably videos of the new tools? I'm still working with 7 as I get my plugins and workspace configured. Would like to get a handle on these before completely switching to 8.

The easiest way to remember how the Solid Tools work is the 'With this/From this' rule.

So hover over the toolbar icon to see it's name then apply the rule.

So for 'Subtract' you say in your head.... 'Subract this from this' then you'll never incorrect pick the wrong solid and end up with the wrong result.

I made a video series for VTC which covers the new features of Sketchup 8 as well as the main features specifically in the Pro version (Solid Tools, Dynamic Components and Layout).

The first 13 videos are free so you can get an idea if it's what you are looking for -- Sketchup Pro 8 video series.

Best,
Jason.

No. I hadn't watched the end of it until now.
