SketchUp - Bar Stool - 129

[Music] I'm going to start by making a template that I can continually reuse throughout this project so it's going to be the same size as my seat are for rectangle looks like my first Dimension is the long Dimension so let's go 16 comma 9 enter now my dimensions are irrelevant you can take the same shape and make whatever you want but these are the dimensions that I want so F4 offset let's come in 0.75 inches and from here we have the corners to make our legs so R for rectangle and let's go 1.5 comma 1.5 enter space bar to select just the space m for move control brings up copy copying one in the corner space bar hold shift to select both faces and for move control brings up copy from here to here and whoops that is pretty much the shape that I'm going for but I want to locate the center point so from this midpoint let's draw a line to this midpoint and that gives me a center most point of my template and just for reference I'm going to drop a line and I'm going to use this a little bit here and there so let's select all of this G for component enter and now let's draw our legs our rectangle from here to here P for Push Pull let's pull this up um 28 inches enter and I have my hidden lines on for some reason so let's press K to get rid of them this leg is going to be a compound angle seven degrees this way and seven degrees this way so I'm always going to rotate from my inside most corner of the legs so a space bar triple click to select all of this model space it is not a component yet Q for rotate now I want to maintain the red axis here so let's hold shift to constrain to Red go to my point that I want and let's go seven degrees enter let's go to this side and I want to constrain to Green this time from that same point in the leg off of vertical and not that face off of vertical we're gonna go seven degrees enter so now if this was a knife if my template was a knife it would make a compound angled cut and that's exactly what I want so let's do the exact same thing by selecting this M for move control brings up copy and we are going to move this one up to here now we're going to have another knife cutting this out now because I did not make this a component yet it is still model space I can triple click to select it all right click intersecting faces with the model that means any component that is intersecting with the model will transfer its lines so if I right click and actually I just press delete to remove that you can see my template made a nice cut line all the way across so let's use a Crossing to select all the stuff on top delete it now we have a compound angle cut but it removed that top face so Alpha line and just repeat one of these lines and it'll put that face back into place let's hide this for just a second and do the same thing down here let's use a Crossing to select all the stuff on the bottom delete that hit remove that face so we can use a line to repeat one of these lines and it will add it back so that's my compound angled cut on top and bottom of the leg space bar triple cut or triple click G for component enter now I can edit unhide my template let's grab this and for move control brings up copy and let's just set one over here we drag it across the green axis so right click and flip it along the green axis grab this Center Point or this corner point and put it back in place on our template because this is symmetrical and I do have a midpoint I can select both of these Q for rotate from the midpoint and I can rotate them around 180 degrees but I want to copy them so let's press Ctrl to bring up the originals and drop them off all four legs are in the correct spot now all right so this bottom apron right here it's going to be it's going to have an angled cut on both sides a nice miter to cut on both sides but I want I want the top face over here which is actually the bottom I'm drawing this upside down obviously uh the top face over here I want it to be perpendicular to the the sides of the piece so no cut there but where it intersects this seat area I want it to be flat so it's gonna have a seven degree bevel on one side so let's R for rectangle and just draw this in place uh something like this is fine I guess and drop it off my second measurement is my width here so let's press comma 0.75 to change that P for Push Pull and I'm going to give this piece a height of 2.5 inches enter now I need to rotate all of this so that this face is parallel to this face so spacebar triple click to select it all Q for rotate and I want to maintain the red axis so I'm going to hold shift once it's selected from this point down here this intersection off a vertical and I want to go seven degrees this way enter now I want it to be in set by a quarter inch so let's press K to bring up my hidden lines and I'm going to t for tape measure just drop a little guy line off here so I can move this in perpendicular to this face M for move along this line here and I'm just going to exaggerate it so I know I'm on that line 0.25 inches enter now I also want the bottom let me hide my my template here let's hide this all right so I want this face right here to be parallel to this face right here so I'm gonna have to cut seven degrees off of one side let's just drag it down there again t for tape measure and off of this we're going to spacebar triple click to select all of model space and for move and I'm going to grab right here let me get a good view here grab this angle this point holding shift to constrain to that line and I'm going to drop it off onto that plane so now that this Edge is perfectly parallel perfectly on this bottom plane and I can draw my little cut Alpha line and this is a seven degree cut I am about to make piece of push pull push this all the way off so now I made this nice little cut it is in place where we want it but obviously it's not the correct length so this is still model space turn my hidden lines off this is still model space so just like before I can select it all right click and intersecting faces with the model so now my leg lines are transfer I no longer need this guideline no longer need this guideline so now excuse me now we can hide all of these legs and just chop off what we don't need and just chop off what we don't need now it kind of removed some of the faces but that's okay Alpha line let's connect the dots here if I do this one it'll bring back both of these faces spacebar triple click G for component enter let's edit unhide all so I brought my template and the legs back and this is a pretty accurate representation of this piece both edges are mitered and this bottom piece it has a seven degree bevel so it sits nice and flush up against the bottom of the seat let's make a copy of this with no no sense in drawing that again if we've already done all the geometry here Q for rotate and just going to rotate another one 90 degrees pressing Ctrl to bring up copy and move and I'm going to grab it from here and set it in place I want that quarter inch offset so I'm going to drag it along the red axis by 0.25 inches enter and I don't need it this long so let's right click and say you are unique you are no longer a long piece space bar double click the edit to edit the part and I'm going to select all of this face on the back side over here without even looking at it by using a window M for move from here and I'm going to constrain to the red axis and I'm just going to decrease its length up to this endpoint right there spacebar and I can get out of the piece I'm only going to draw half of this at a time and just rotate that other ones in but anyway the next piece is I want the top of them to be nine inches off the floor so let's go ahead and draw the floor real quick spacebar triple click G for component enter so now this plane reference plane right here is a component M for move and I'm going to move it nine inches perpendicular to its face so now I have a reference location for my my other pieces here are for rectangle from here over to here and my second one is my front to back width so I can press comma 0.75 inches enter P for Push Pull let's push this up or pull this up 2.5 inches enter space bar uh actually yeah let's do this first t for tape measure us drop this guideline off and I'm going to only select this line M for move and I'm going to move it along here basically making my mitered ends and again these are 7 7 degree Cuts as well only select this line and for move from here constrain to that line where they intersect to that plane and that's pretty much it for this part so spacebar triple click G for component enter now I can cue for rotate off of the red plane from this point down here off of vertical let's go seven degrees enter and for move and let's move it into the part on the green axis 0.25 inches enter I'm not worried about beveling the top and bottom faces here this is perfectly all right so I can delete this um actually I'm just going to leave it in place real quick let's delete the guideline grab this Q for rotate and let's just rotate one another 190 degrees pressing Ctrl to bring up copy right click and say you are unique you are no longer a copy and for move from here to this intersection down there because it is no longer a copy I can spacebar double click to edit the part only select this face with a window that face is selected and move from here over to here now I have my new part in place spacebar click to get out grab this M for move and I'm going to move it into the middle of the piece by 0.25 inches under now I can delete my reference plane and now that I have all four of my pieces done select them all Q for rotate off this Center Point and let's rotate them 180 degrees pressing Ctrl to bring up copy and drop them off that's pretty much it so our rectangle from here to here I'm gonna draw my cushion P for Push Pull going down 0.75 inches enter spacebar and I can delete my initial guide so now that I have let's delete my initial guy there we go now I can triple click the G for component enter and that's pretty much the bar stool so let's select it all Q for rotate and rotate it back to where it should be and for move from down here let's just throw it in the or the origin just for the sake of it and there you go very accurate representation of this bar stool
