One of the most important things you can do when it comes to working with CAD files within SketchUp is learn to model walls accurately and efficiently. There are a number of different ways to accomplish this, but we think Mike's come up with one of the best methods out there: Learn to use the Rectangle Tool, Move Tool and the Push Pull Tool to get a set of Exterior Walls modeled ASAP.

    The show is working..maybe you need to wait a minute for it to load, dont pause but do use the streaming scrub at the bottom of the player. Mike is the best SU teacher there is. I learn more from him than anyone. I dont personally know anyone that has an interest in SU so he's become very important in my life and his enthusiasm for SU is contagious. MtD

  • The Sketchup Show #54: Move (copy) edges vs Line tool?

    Ambignostic replied on 6/7/10

    Great stuff as always, Mike. I'm curious: in this video, why do you use the Move tool to duplicate an edge, rather than using the Line tool to create a new one?
