[Tutorial > Modeling] My SU basics

I posted this a few months ago on the SU forums so here it is again:
Whilst it's written for beginners; I got some good feedback from a few old hands who learnt something from it.

"MY SKETCHUP BASICS"
by Gerry Platt, London, England:

"Whether or not you've ever used
SketchUp before; follow this little
tutorial and you will learn a few
things that will make a big difference
to your modelling in the future. It
combines tips from other users along
with a trick or 2 that I've discovered
myself. I use this method every time.
Before I discovered it I got myself in
a mess from time to time, now I
don't. Once you understand the
reasoning behind this method you
can adapt it to your own needs.
I'm only familiar with the SU pro Mac
version but, to the best of my
knowledge, this tutorial is universal
(please let me know if it is not)."

Now, Gerry (he - your name is written in there) this is a nice stuff, thanks.

nice lil Tut there... would you mind if I posted some of the text here in the forum, so that people using our search function might find it later on down the road?

No problem. It was text only at first. I made the pdf in, you guessed, LayOut.

Thanks for asking Eric,
The most recent picture of me: I'd just cycled from San Sebastian To Barcelona: 470 miles/755 Kilometres in 6 days. It was a great week.

I can do it in 6 hours - on a highway - no problem. And even my (hm...) legs do not hurt that much.

Welcome back, too!

Well Mike, I was the oldest out of 35 people but I say age is just a state of mind and some of the youngsters struggled a lot more than me.
Gaieus; it wasn't my legs that hurt but where I met the saddle!!
(we also raised £37K for cancer charities).

Gerry, that was the "(hm...)" part of my post - I guessed (also cycling though not that extreme)

£35,000 for charities ! That's fantastic work Gerry,
Well Done. I hope your butt has regained its original
shape after all that time in the saddle
