Hey, hey, this is your channel The Lazy Arquitecto
helping you in reaching our dreams to be an architect
Today's tip is how to isolate an object in sketchup
Have you ever been in a situation where
You're inside in this case a building
And you're trying to modify an object or a component in this case
and
When you're trying to modify it
all the things around
like in this case
Are so close that
you can not
Let's say if I want to stretch this object
Can you see that? I can not even move around it. wouldn't be nice to
be able to isolate this object and
easily edit it?
well, [I]
found an
easy way to do this in sketchup and
for this you don't even need a
plug-in or sketchup plug-in
I know there are some plug-ins out there
but some people don't like to install this type of extensions because
reason one sometimes it slows your computer. It makes your computer slower and
Yeah, so let's jump to [the] tip so
[the] result is going to be
this
So now once I isolate my object [I] can easily work on it and all [I] did was
Create a shortcut for this in this case
my Shortcut is
pressing alt and I for isolate and
Again, alt + i, and you will unisolate the object
Okay, how do we do this?
first we have to
go to the
preferences in the sketchup
so we go to
preferences window and preferences
Now we're going to go
to
all the way to
Okay view component
Hide rest
of
Model
So in here, we're going to select that
and
We're going to press alt and I at the same time
You can give it another
letters if you want or shortcut, but I found out that a
Really good way to know
What shortcuts are your personal ones that you just created your custom
if you
use ALT
For all of [your] custom shortcuts, it would be so much easy
To separate them from the actual sketchup shortcuts
so once you add alt + I
You will click here on the plus sign
Yes, and then you will do [ok]
now
Once you're working on a
component
You all you have to do is
press Alt I
at the same time
And you will be able to isolate
your object
