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

Well, that's just because of the shading I guess. Basically (if you have problems with face orientation), just set the two kinds of faces to something strikingly different. I think Dave uses some irritating magenta or what so that he cannot bear it too long and reverses back faces quickly.

Thanks, Rich. I've played with those settings, but even so, it still looks like the outside faces take on different hues by default, such as below.

To clarify; they're all "fronts" or "backs," but still take on slightly different hues.

Re: [Tutorial > Modeling] How a Pro Builds a House in SU pt
Hi, very nice tutorial, but I have some questions I'm hoping someone can answer.
-
I've gotten to step 5, where I've scaled the imported drawing and erased the line. Why can't I just trace directly over this plan now? Is it because I won't be drawing on one plane?
-
About step 6: "right click on your plan image and choose "use as material" and apply the material to the rectangle." How, exactly, do I apply the material? I select/copy, but can't seem to paste it to the rectangle.
Thx for any advice.
edit: Ok, I got the paint bucket to work. Apparently it "paints" the plan at the correct scale, and repeats it multiple times depending on how big the rectangle is. So I suppose I can just trace one of the patterns and then turn off the paint layer.

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....
-
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 ?
