this is the last video in the tutorial series on how to make casings around
windows and doors I'm Matt Donley with http://www.MasterSketchup.com so we're gonna
jump right in here you can see i already have a casing profile made and have used
the push pull tool
to bring it up
you want to make sure that it's in a group so if you select that you should
have a bounding box around the entire thing and then we're gonna select the
rectangle tool
and just create a rough sized
uh... rectangle
and then push pull it
into like a cube
okay doesn't have to be any particular size you just want to make
sure that it's bigger
than the casing that you're trying to create a forty five degree
out of
now
we need to make this into a group as well so triple click, right-click,
make group, ok so we have the casing that's in a group and we have this cube
here that's in a group
now the next step uh... we need to rotate this cube forty-five degrees so we'll
select the move tool
hover over
grab those little
handles to rotate
and then we're gonna grab this corner
and line it up
with the
uh... top corner of the casing
and you can see it kinda what we're going for here
we've uh... created in intersection
using the volume of the cube
uh... precisely where we want to make the cut in the casing
so we're actually using the cube to outline exactly where you want to remove
uh... mass from the casing
so then with the cube already selected
we can grab from the solid tools menu
we can grab the
subtract tool
and since
the cubes already selected that will already take care of our first selection you
can see the
uh... cursor is asking for our second
group so
this one's already being selected as the first group and that's going to be
subtracted from whatever second group we select
so go ahead and click the casing and it's as easy as that
you can see that it
cutaway from the casing exactly where the cube was intersecting
so the last method i want to show you does not require sketchup pro
um...
all you need to do is create the casing profile like this use the push pull
but you you want to make sure that you are on those the same level
that the casing is in
so we actually have to open up this group and make sure that we can select all the
individual faces of the casing
and then you're gonna grab the rectangle tool
and just draw a rough
rectangle
he just wanted to be a little bit bigger
then
the casing and then grab the push pull tool
and
extruded a little bit
okay and you have to make sure that you're not
uh...
creating the group out of either of these
so you still want to be able to just select
all the faces of the individual uh...
you know parts of these
so then you
uh... select all of the entities in the
rectangle
and grab the move tool..
and actually we're gonna grab the rotate tool
because we have to rotate this to
forty five degrees
OK so you come out on the parallel
edge
and you swing this down to forty five
and then we grab the move tool
will grab this back corner here
and we're going to bring it right to this
top corner of the casing
alright and then we will right click
uh... intersect faces and intersect faces with model
so you can see
basically wherever this cube intersected with this casing it
created a face outline. So now
what we can do is grab the eraser tool and just erase all the parts that we don't
need
which is all little tedious but
uh... you can kind of click and drag to make it a little easier
and ok and we're gonna
delete all of this as well
so we can just click and drag
to select a bunch of this stuff here
and you can see what we're left with
is
a forty five degree cut
on
the casing
and we have just one little bit right here too
then we're gonna wanna just reverse the face of this so you select
reverse face
and that's it you're all set
