It’s a somewhat interesting video of a new user drawing in SketchUp. I wouldn’t consider it a tutorial because it is missing too much information and it doesn’t seem to be especially well organized. It would be very difficult for a beginner to follow what you are doing. Your process seems to be kind of clumsy, too. I also find the electronic music annoying and out of place.
you are right about this, but i didn’t wanted to make a speed run out of this, and making a tutorial without using voice, would be really long and confusing. so i decided to pass some tips along the way. which can help the viewer…
maybe i should change the title of the video… and yeah the process is a bit clumsy, i forgot to drew it earlier, and kept no references, so it wasn’t really smooth
(Moved to the Tutorials > Requests and Discussion sub-category.)
A bookshelf is a singular object. A bookcase has several book shelves.
Sketch Up is two words. SketchUp is a registered trademark and brand name.
(Edited topic title.)
Since it is not one, I would remove any reference to it being a tutorial. New users aren’t going to know what you re doing and people who can follow will already know how to use the tools.
To be honest, it looks to me as if you could learn how to use the tools better and more efficiently yourself. You would also find it useful to learn how a piece of furniture it really made. The bottom of your bookcase, for example, is a couple of knife edges. That type of foot doesn’t make for a good piece of furniture. the edges would damage the floor and they’d be so delicate that they would be crushed when you load the shelves with books.
No matter how slowly you go, if you don’t tell the user what you are doing and why, a new user will just be stumped. There are also things you do in the video that don’t seem to have a purpose. There are edges you draw only to erase them again. It kind of looks like you don’t know what you are doing and you are changing your mind as you go. If you want to make tutorials, that’s good. But you need to actually teach something in a coherent way
I just saw this post for the first time and I am compelled to offer these comments.
This material does not yet fully qualify to be referred to as a “Tutorial”.
A good tutorial provides clear and concise instructions describing that which is being taught.
It also should provide high quality graphic contrast to ensure the viewer understands what is presented. Consider your use of the green background with the visually distracting red text.
Good tutorials show a step by step process using a single overt method to disseminate the material, such as employing numeric cues associated with a specific image to reinforce the act in the proper sequence.
The most effective tutorials will additionally incorporate a voiceover that clearly delineates what is being shown onscreen.
Please take note that much of what is shown in your video is void of description and a new user is certain to be baffled because of the lack of explanation. Although your intentions are to be appreciated, I implore you to use better judgment before posting teaching materials.
