Grammatical error in the SketchUp Fundamentals Description: âJoin us for an guided tourâŚâ should be âJoin us for a guided tourâŚâ.

Thanks, fixed.

Quizzes seam to be locked at previous test score after multiple attempts. Tried retaking tests in both the Chrome & IE browsers. Also tried giving mostly wrong answers and still got a 91%.

Video replay button is not functional (in Chrome) quiz 2. Have to pause video so image doesnât disappear.
Ya, I see this as well. Not sure whatâs happening, looking into it. I have adjusted the timing on some of the videos so hopefully a replay isnât necessary.

I see this too. Once youâve passed, the system remembers that permanently. Ie- you canât lose credit for failing a course youâve already passed. Still the end score should reflect the answers you just gave. Looking into thisâŚ

There are a number of questions in the first lessonâs quizzes that rely on knowledge that isnât presented in the course!
The biggest problem I see is the question that asks about the difference between Groups and Components. The correct answer uses the word âinstanceâ - which isnât ever spoken in the lesson!
I just scored 12 out of 14. As otherâs have mentioned, there is no feedback on incorrect questions, so as a fairly experienced SketchUp user, on material this easy, Iâm forced to assume that my mistakes were the result of poorly worded questions, not true mistakes on my part.

I donât know if it has been fixed yet, but there was also an acknowledged bug with questions that used checkboxes when there are multiple correct answers. They will score you as wrong when you check all of the right boxes, making it unlikely for an expert to get 100%.

We have been making these kind of quizeâs for our ATCâs as well and in my experience, you can only score 100% if you create the test yourself. As soon as some other expert adds some questions, there is room for a different perspective, so it seems.
We also have some open questions which even leave more room for interpretation.
If you like, I can PM you the link, youâre score wonât get publishedđ
I just finished this track, and I have a bug report: When I completed the final quiz, it didnât tell me my score, but went straight to the âCongratulations, youâve finished the trackâ screen.
Iâd bet this applies to the other tracks as well, but as I havenât (yet) started them (much less completed them), thatâs just an edumacated guess - so I reported the bug here.
Only partway through so far. This is really good. Iâm teaching a 2 hour class in a week or so, and itâs hard for me to come up with a better lesson.
Listening with a good set of Audio-Technica headphones, I think I was hearing a very low frequency rumble in the first set of lessons (Quick Start) that seems gone in the second (Core Concepts).
Ya, you are right about that. Those courses were recorded in different environments, which reflects a bit too much âbehind the scenesâ. I hope to re-record the first course with some better quality at some point, but it will probably fall behind a number of other pressing âfixesâ. Hope itâs not too distracting.
Itâs barely noticeable, but you can probably just reprocess the audio with a low frequency filter applied.

By the way, hereâs a tally of run times for the Fundamentals videos. This doesnât include time to do the exercises and quizzes. Looks like a little over 2 hours if I did it right.

I double checked and made a couple corrections.

The first few lessons were closed captioned but the rest of the courses were not. That includes the Layout training courses as well. More difficult to answer your test questions correctly and that also does not enable us to pick up a few tricks. So that being said, whatâs the point of you watching videos with cotton in your ears?
I just checked and the LayOut courses do have closed captioning. You have two options for displaying written text along with the audio. First is to show transcripts that follow along as you go. Second is to turn on subtitles or closed captions on the video itself where you see the âCCâ button on the video play bar.
If these arenât working for you let us know. Be sure to include the specific name of the track, course and lesson that doesnât work and a screenshot of what youâre seeing in order for us to diagnose.
See screenshot of your the options both turned on at the same time:

Does the web version have the Xray feature? It was referred to in one of the early courses (I donât remember off hand which one), but I didnât find it at the time and thought it might be a Pro-level feature. Now in course #6, Selections, it is going into the feature in greater detail, so maybe it is available somewhere in the free version and Iâm just not locating it. Thanks.
