    Honestly, this is some of the easiest-to-follow instructions I have ever encountered on YouTube. THANK YOU!!
  • @luiswerner30pg
    The structure of this tutorial is incredibly good! I wish everyone would do tutorials structured like this one about anything really. This is not only a SketchUp masterclass it's also a "how to make a tutorial" masterclass. I did learn all I need to know, thank you!
  • @paynewhit
    Thank you! I must say that the speed and the detail level you gave in this tutorial were spot on! Very clean and clear. I will definitely be looking at your other videos! I really appreciate your time and effort to put this out for us - happy I found your channel!
  • I am a revit user and I've been trying to find beginner tutorials for sketchup, and I must say I've struck gold with this video. Absolutely incredible how you explained everything so clearly and even made it fun. Love it!
  • @lisat7489
    Your tutorials are incredible! The amount of work you put into this to make it so clear is amazing! You're a lifesaver!
  • @CharlPe
    Wow - great tutorial, thank you! You have a deft touch of delivering at the right pace and explaining just the perfect amount to make things very understandable. I was able to follow right along and make the model of the barn I needed IN THE FIRST TRY, without EVER having used SketchUp before! Absolutely NO WAY I could have done that w/o your tutorial here. Again, THANK YOU!

    First time user of SketchUp and I have found these videos extremely useful. I'm only using simple shapes to try and draw a diagram of my living room and some storage units I want to build. By using SketchUp I have been able to draw an exact replica of my living room and a diagram of the storage I am building as a novice DIYer this has really helped me articulate to the timber merchants what I'm doing in order to get the right materials I need for the job. So thank you Alex and the team sketchup school
  • @user-un1te3gg9e

  • @strayj2767
    This is a gem! Almost feel bad that I'm getting these info for free. Thank you a bunch!
  • @fizmon3439
    Group early and often. This piece of advice has completely changed my life. lol. I have been testing SketchUp for awhile by just exploring the tools. I have looked at a few other videos along the way but your video by far helped me change the way I need to approach the software. Kudos for hitting the important points. Just an excellent teaching video all the way the way around. Succinct, clearly spoken and fun. Thank you for doing this video!
