[Tutorial > Modeling] How a Pro Builds a House in SU pt 1

[Rose123]

Ok, great, thanks, that's what I thought (SketchUp is trying to replicate the effects of light).

I am following the guide. I imported a image plan. I draw a line, group line and image, then use measurement tool to scale the image. Okay so far. How about my image plan do not have 1:1 ratio for X-Y axis. Could I scale both horizontal and vertical seperately ?

Whats happened to ""üse as material"" in SU 2014?

Odd....

[pbcsd]

I see the "use as material" selection in 2014, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to apply it to a rectangle I just drew next to the plan? There doesn't appear to be an "in model" materials list either.

Help!

You can open the material browser window.

Go to the top of SU and hit Window>Materials.
Then the Material Browser will open.

about a 1/3rd of the way down you'll see forward and backward buttons and a home button. hit the home/house button. this will show you all of the materials that are 'in' your model.

Hmm... the post is missing? Someone with control of the forum here will have to look into where it went.

Yeah, when I click on part 3 it takes me to part 1.

Also, I have a question. Is there a tutorial to build a model based on CAD plans, not images, and in a fast approach ?
