How do you customize sizes on Google SketchUp?

Customizing sizes in Google SketchUp involves adjusting the dimensions of your 3D models to meet specific requirements. As an experienced tutor registered on UrbanPro.com, I can guide you through this process during online coaching sessions:

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to customize sizes in Google SketchUp:

1. Select the Object:

   • Use the Select tool to click on the object or group of objects that you want to resize.

2. Use the Scale Tool:

   • Activate the Scale tool by clicking on the "Scale" tool icon or pressing the "S" key.
   • Click and drag one of the handles that appear around the selected object. This will scale the object proportionally.

3. Scale Uniformly or Non-Uniformly:

   • To scale uniformly, hold down the "Shift" key while dragging a handle. This ensures that the object scales in all directions equally.
   • To scale non-uniformly, simply drag the handle without holding down the "Shift" key. This allows you to stretch the object in specific directions.

4. Enter Precise Dimensions:

   • You can enter precise dimensions during the scaling process. After selecting the Scale tool, click on a handle, and then type the desired dimensions using the keyboard. Press "Enter" to apply the changes.

5. Use the Tape Measure Tool:

   • The Tape Measure tool can help you set specific distances between points. Click on one point, move to another, and type the desired distance. SketchUp will ask if you want to resize the model to match the new measurement.

6. Use the Dimension Tool:

   • The Dimension tool allows you to add precise dimensions to your model. Select the Dimension tool, click on two points, and type the desired dimension.

7. Numerical Input:

   • Many actions in SketchUp, including scaling, allow for numerical input. For example, when using the Move or Rotate tool, you can type exact measurements or angles.

8. Use the Entity Info Dialog:

   • The Entity Info dialog (Window > Entity Info) provides information about selected entities, and you can often input specific dimensions directly into this dialog.
