Hey, what is up, nation?
In this session we have a Sketchup level 1 modelling challenge to help you hone your skills.
Okay, so here's your first object to model, your hint for this is rectangle tool.
The way that I would go about making this is pressing R to quote the rectangle tool.
Make a rectangle here. And then take the shape selected: P to push pull up.
And use a line that goes across here, select this face, P.
Again, align, bring this up.
Proportions are gonna be exactly the same. I take this line, hit M to move it.
But then hit control the make a copy of it.
Across, the same thing - come over here.
We have the basic shape there, and then across here...
P to push-pull go all the way through, we snap on this end to get there.
And generally that's that shape. Here is your second shape.
The hint for this one is scale tool.
Okay, so the way that I would go about doing this one would be to make a rectangle or a square.
Select the face.
Press P to push pull up and select that face again, hit s to scale.
And scale it in holding ctrl here, that it's scales uniformly in all directions.
And then use the offset tool to bring this in, select that face.
P to push pool.
And then if you need to... like in this particular instance it looks wider.
Scale that in.
Here's our third challenge. Your hint for this one is: circles.
Okay, so what do I do with this, I proceeded to bring up the circle tool.
Take this guy, choose the center point and move it to the middle here.
Use the eraser tool, make sure nothing is selected. The eraser tool with E.
Select these two lines, delete them. Then use the offset command, offset in a little bit.
Delete the middle, select this outer face. P to push pull up.
There you go!
Here's the fourth shape for your challenge. My hint here is: divide.
Okay, so we have this shape here.
The way that I want about doing this is I use the polygon tool.
Make sure it was set to five sides, you can see this has five signs.
And then what I did is I extruded this all the way up. Selected this space.
I hit M to move it all the way down to the bottom.
Then what that allows me to do is to divide.
So if you'd hit /5, you then get a bunch of different divisions.
Actually we need six here.
And then you can select each of these.
And then hit S to scale.
If you choose one of these edges, allows you to scale in.
And if you hold ctrl and shift, you can scale that.
If you wanted to look a little bit more like this, you select it down.
And there you go!
This is the fifth and final shape in the challenge.
Your tip for this is: rotate.
Okay, so the way that I would go about modeling this, is you want to make sure
you have the right amount of side, so this circle here has 24 sides.
Let's start with a circle and make sure that when I click that it says 24 down here.
And then, you want to make sure you just snap to an axis because it makes it a little bit easier.
So I press the right arrow key there to lock into the red axis.
And then what I would do this, is scale it in so you have this inter for this outer circle.
And then the inner circle here.
Press L for the line tool, and then draw a line from the center to the edge here
And then, you can see it doesn't actually go all the way. You just want to check and see if it does.
Just very pertinent here particular case. You just make sure that's the selection,
So that your line goes all the way to the end.
And then I'm gonna select this line, make sure I'm on the blue axis.
And then hit Q to rotate.
And then take this, and I'm just gonna hit control to make a copy of that while I rotate.
And then select this end point. Hit the asterisk symbol.
You can see that down on the bottom right the asterisk symbol shows up there that says "multiply".
So I want to type in 22.
So that's the amount of sides.
And then press E to bring up the eraser tool.
Just get rid of these middle lines.
And then every other one in here, I'm just gonna delete
because we have a sunray with an equal amount of sides, we'll have an equal amount of parts here.
If it was odd this wouldn't work.
So then you have your basic shape. And you just press P, and you extrude that up.
