Rarely do I leave reviews, but I felt compelled to do so here. These videos are fantastic, the level of practical application, detail, and analogies are absolutely perfect.
@carolynelrod9994
thank you for recommending 2d practice first. i felt stupid not being able to use sketchup. i understand now! yours should be the absolute first video anyone new to sketchup watches.
@eksempa
Honestly once explained it's fairly intuitive. Thank you for breaking it down so nicely for us newbies! Can't wait to play with the full version

Brilliantly clear and well thought out video. I watched one other video by someone else, supposedly for beginners, and the narrator went too fast and kept failing to explain things he was doing on screen. This was so much better. I particularly appreciate the way you anticipate and guard against common mistakes of newbies, and explain everything so clearly. As someone who has also developed instructional videos for specialized software, I really appreciate this! Thanks for producing these!

I've been designing & building using Sketchup for awhile, but I've developed some of those bad habits that you warn about. So, I decided to revisit the basics and learn better ways to use this great piece of software. Your YT videos are the perfect way to learn proper techniques and understand the "why" of Sketchup tool procedures. You are one of the best Sketchup teacher/presenters on the planet.
@Grumbo98
This is one of the highest quality introductions to a CAD software ever! Well done!
@_coloringbook
Extremely thorough! I love how you SHOW the process, in a way that predicts how the average person will interact with the software. For example, showing your hand on the mouse clicking and dragging. Very helpful for us visual learners. :)
@Caleb_Mandrake872
If only you gave a Calculus tutorial this concise and thorough.
@nickburmanmusic
Brilliant! THIS is how you make a tutorial video! I almost forgot I was learning an incredibly complicated piece of software!!
@lionelslittlethoughts430
Wow. Clear. Concise. Knowledgeable. I feel like I'm ready to take a look at Sketchup now.
@robb2869
I doubt I'll ever be able to afford the desktop version but am enjoying the free web based version, thank you for these great and easy to follow tutorials, much appreciated, you've made it so much easier to use with just a few simple steps!!
@selouakh9734
I just start to learn SketchUp.. It's very well explained , fast and you make it easy to understand. Thank you
@rodrickchima59
Extremely helpful! After watching a few Sketchup (Free) tutorials I struggled to draw a plan for a woodworking project. My biggest problems were sticky objects and imprecise moves. This video explained both, and I was able to complete my project.
@andresleal5669
The way you did this video is amazing, I super liked it. An excellent script with baby step approach and very, very, good examples, funny segments, animations, and even challenges to keep attention. I would dream every video in any topic being done the same way. Congratulation to the team.
@streetglidescott6424
Well done! That is an excellent example of video instruction - engaging, entertaining, clear and concise. Thank you!
@gelindark
My eyes peeled when you said that middle mouse button was orbit and shift+mmb was pan 🤯 Thank you good sir!
@nickflynn666
I really enjoyed this video, I feel much better about my prospects of being able to learn sketchup, it felt daunting before. My favorite tip is the points about learning good practice now such as the zooming panning via the mouse rather than selecting the buttons. I know from learning lots of other things wrong and then having to unlearn bad habits how useful, I suspect, this tip will be, for sketchup. Many thanks.
@gregp4557
Well Done! This is the best introduction I have seen. You cover common mistakes by explaining how the app/tool functions. The Move tool is a good example. I didn't realize I needed to be aware of whether I was grabbing a point, line, or face. Once you explained that it all made sense. Why don't other instructors point this out???
@ml3110
Thank you so much for this video! This video is amazing! God bless you. 🙏
