10 mistakes beginners make when using SketchUp
In this post I am sharing a video I recently uploaded to my YouTube channel where I go over 10 mistakes that beginners make when they first start using SketchUp.
Here are the mistakes we cover:
They get in a sticky mess
They lose geometry on their canvas
They don’t make sure of shortcut keys
They don’t organise their models properly
They don’t model on an axis
They don’t make use of scenes
They can’t move objects properly
They get carried away in the 3D warehouse (which can really slow their model down)
They don’t use the select tool properly
They loose geometry due to not being in the correct camera angle (where geometry cuts away)
If you’re new to SketchUp I hope you find these tips helpful!
