Click on the shapes tool to start with a shape on the screen we can manipulate.
Click the down arrow and select rectangle
Click once to start the shape and click again to release when you have decided on your shape and size.
Here’s the fun part: Use the push pull tool to make it 3-D. Click on the tool, then click on the rectangle and pull up or down.
And this is what your shape will look like:
Here is the tool you want!
Edit this shape in a variety of ways! Try drawing a shape on top of your 3-D rectangle to manipulate.Try clicking on the shapes tool again and draw some circles! It will say “On face” to indicate that you are drawing on a surface of your original rectangle
Use the push-pull tool again to manipulate the circles. Push one in and one out. Your result will look like this:
Here’s the tool, again!
You can even draw a new rectangle on the edge of your original “box” and use the push-pull tool to push the entire corner in. Let’s see how to do this. Start by drawing a rectangle:
Use the push-pull tool to push the new rectangle in and out. If you push it in, this is what it will look like:
Let’s pay attention to some points that SketchUp has added to so we can make our images as accurate as we want: Notice the little dots that appear when you hover over the edge with your line tool. The red dot means you are about to draw a line on an edge…
The green dot is an endpoint: You can manipulate the lines drawn on these edges to make various effects.
There are also a few different ways to view what you have created. Let’s take a look at some: The first is the orbit tool. Click on it and then click on your image. Turn the screen all around in any direction you want!
The Orbit Tool!
You can use some other tools to help you fix anything
you want to edit. The Select Tool will help you move things around.
The Eraser tool will erase any edges you don’t want.
