[Rachlikesyouu]

how do you make the window you downloaded smaller?

[11swallowedinthesea]

@Rachlikesyouu hello mate, to make objects smaller or larger select the Scale command under the Rotate command, select the object and then drag the green squares.

[theplayer178]

[alessio84ap]

[Siemieszd]

[JK11661]

oh wow i was scared about how to make the windows when i just noticed that google already made like 20 windows for u and u can find it on the window toolbar and click components then type in windows in the search bar

[LUKASHSANCHES]

- "This is a window!"

- ORLY?

[Thejazyblu]

What version of sketch up is that?

[Moroboi]

i didn't know that apple could right click?

[alexdobras]

aidanchopra : if you have a thick wall , not just a plane, and you create a cut opening component, it actually doesn't cut the wall when you move the component in other place

do you know what to do

[GraemeMawsom]

? when was this made

[TheBoksera631]

and this is all free?COOL!

[CoolGuitarPlayer12]

[mitchelldekraa]

How do you make the window smaller :(??

[rocksronaldo]

can u draw an apu looking out of window?plspls

[Justusson]

Hi Adrian, are there ways today to cut a double opening in a wall? If you have a determined thickness troughout the whole project?

[barbaraepye]

You explain clearly but unfortunately the finished window does not open!

[hmassu09]

Do you have pro ? mine comes out differently.

[funxx2]

hey man stop calling your viewers dummies

[MONKFOCKER]

Why do you call your videos For Dummies?

Not all of the people are dummies.

[trapwebs23]

you speak like your talking to a DUMB PERSON.. "its pretty simple actually", "im gonna select the offset tool, ITS BETWEEN THE ROTATE AND ORBIT, IT LOOKS LIKE THE RINGS OF SATURN" uhm.. yah! your cursor is hovering over it..

[nakz05]

@trapwebs23 haven't you read: SketchUp for "DUMMIES" lol...just a sarcastic jk 

[PerfidiousMeridius]

@trapwebs23 prick

[BarryDong]

@trapwebs23 At least 50% of people who watch this video are below average intelligence, he's doing the right thing. Unfortunately due to the prevalence of stupid people, we must cater for the most moronic rather than excluding them. I hate it, but that's the way it is.

[gaclark2009]

Please stop moving, just move when you need it, it is so annoying and disturbing!

Otherwise, very instructive, thank you!

[tristanos22]

Nice work! Very interesting.

[xxbydesign]

This works on flat surfaces, but I dare you to find a wall that has 0 thickness. I've tried to use this technique to create a window that cuts through a wall with actual thickness, and it doesnt work. If anyone has figure out how to do this I would appreciate it.

[springfieldwest47]

great video

[CMob09]

Why do some of these window components not cut a hole ? had this problem with some components and wondered why this was ?

[KISSAproductions]

Thank you for this useful video!:*

[Saucex3]

Is this pro or free? Mine doesn't seem to have the doors and windows you have.

[slug182]

how do you create components in a two surface wall? it can´t mark the cut opening!!

[Seff2]

I have the saME PROBLEM:

[KinggyEgg]

>=-)

[littleohah]

i just make my own windows

[jinchurikidarkside]

i cant find window im using pro 7

[Frankthegb]

Walls thicker just make a square, pull it up, offset it in, and pull the inner square down. And sweet video!

[franzmattioli]

what about Walls ?

[monkeybut2020]

how u make the walls thicker

[xanem123]

I'm not that sure about this one, but, you can use the Push/Pull tool to extrude the face (a lat wall) and make it Thicker, and have more room inside. Technically, I'm not that good at making houses in SketchUp, yet...

[musicandsportsguy88]

I found an easier way to make an outdoor window, if you make a simple rectangle and go to the paint thing. Once you make the rectangle go onto tranclucent paint. Click one of the glass colors and paint the inner rectangle. You can see indoors and have a window now.

[tintinjelo]

thats what I used to do but it is a pain in the ass when you have 3 inch offset walls. It will be hard for you to match the rectangles on both sides of the wall.

[basketballguy88]

yeah. You need to copy and paste the window and use the ruler tool to keep things level and even.

[guitarkid9595]

i have sketch up 7 how do i get windows

[hillyflan]

How did he select all four edges at 3:05?? PLEaSE HELP!!!! Thanks

[aidanchopra]

I held down Shift while I clicked on them with the Select tool.

[meneer0aars]

@hillyflan

or you do ctrl+A

[freederikk]

@hillyflan press ctr while selecting the edges

[valcaron]

Trying to make a window component, but no matter what I set the gluing plane as, it doesn't want to end up being upright as the original geometry was.

[J2Pes]

Could someone help me please. I want to draw in meters, so two question. 1.How do I change from inches to meters? 2.Would the messuarements would show in meters and not in inches? Thanks You.

[J2Pes]

Never Mind... I solved it myself.

[BrandisSarich]

thanks- great tutorial!- I'm in the thick wall camp still looking for answers.

[kragier]

I don't know how you think of this fancy stuff, I just made an interesting sofa though...

[ndktube]

ptp29, I just spent a half hour trying to cut into a wall with thickness with a window component. No luck. Seems like you can't do that. Google "sketchup component cut opening".

Workaround might be to cut the hole first then insert the window component into it. Just be sure of the opening positions to save a lot of patching. Get the openings all in the right place and wait till you're sure of their positions before inserting the components. If there's a better way I'd like to hear about it.

[immortalxak]

thank you :)

[SARUJAN5]

thanks

[timopod5]

lots of help, ty.

[cujojess]

how do u do that

[ptp29]

Window tutorial very helpful

What about cutting a window into a thick wall

Does this work the same way?

[fsxnoob1]

I'm having the same trouble... I make a wall, say, 5 11/16 inches thick. the window opening goes in on both walls and its directly lined up. Hit create component (G) and then go to the alignment section (on PC its at the bottom) and glue to any and check cut opening. It works like the window in this video, bringing the hole with it, but it still isnt a component. maybe its just my computer.
