  • how do you make the lines straight

  • you can hold down the shift key while you're drawing a linein order to lock an inference. you can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard to lock to an axis direction while you're drawing a line. (up/down = blue, left/right = red/blue)

  • @Josabooba maybe, it will be better if we use tips from "sketchup for woodworking" book. in it, it's all woodworking related topics.

  • @keng44wai Easy. You have a lower shelf at the base. You copy it (With move tool + Ctrl / Optn key, for copying) towards the top. So you now have two shelves. Then you want to divide the space by 5 (creating 4 different shelves) so you type in "5" which is the amount of middle spaces you want and then "/" which is the universal divide symbol.

    Sorry to necro this comment, but any new viewers might find it helpful.

  • @Josabooba Google Shetch-up isn't about engineering furniture. It's about 3d modelling. Mike has replied with a basic method for creating furniture, such as a table or a cabinet. If you keep on checking other tutorials, you'll see how to make more detail on the legs or the table itself. Or how to create glass doors for the cabinet.

    What you have commented shows zero understanding of basic tutorial principles.

  • Ridiculous - the question was related to wood-working, how long will the legs last on that table?

    Worse still, by your bookcase method, I need to buy a giant block of wood and

    what, carve the whole centre out of it?

    I know you are demonstrating, but it has nothing to do with wood-working, you should have demonstrated creating the pieces, i.e. 2 sides, top, bottom and back, then on to supports for, and shelves.

    What you have done shows zero understanding of basic woodworking principles.

  • ohhh please anyone explain the shelf making?
