Every 15 degrees

Circles can be either inscribed or circumscribed when entering the radius.

False

Components have a different bounding box color than groups.

False

Dragging a selection window around multiple entities will only select what you can see

False

Tags in SketchUp work like layers in other CAD programs

False

The 3D Warehouse contains only highly curated models that meet certain quality standards

False

False

Castelvecchio Museum

Floating Stairs

The left arrow key locks to which axis?

Green

If you take several groups and combine them into a larger group, what do we call this in SketchUp?

Group Nesting

Metal Shutter Houses

Had a retractable screen, apartment-style houses

How do you ask SketchUp for an inference?

Hover for ~2 seconds over the post you wish to infer to

What do we mean by "Click, move, click"?

It means to click your mouse once for the start and end of each action.

In Autocad, what do you type in order to merge connected objects into a single object?

Join

When using push/pull, tapping that control key will do what:

Leaves a copy of the original surface

What is the final input value for a Rotated Rectangle?

Length and Angle

What is the first step to making an array?

Make one copy first

Where do you change the default measurement units?

Model Info Panel

What do you need to consider when finding and using models from the 3D Warehouse?

Model size and quality varies

What tool allows for the creation of arrays in SketchUp?

Move

When you first create a component you will be prompted to:

Name it

Can a surface exist without a complete loop of edges?

No

Can you draw a freehand line by single clicking your mouse?

No

Can you offset a single edge?

No

If you draw a line that is 5' long and then pick another tool, can you still change that 5' length through the measurements box?

No

What is the rule for tags in SketchUp?

Only assign groups and components to layers

Purging the Component browser will:

Purging the Component browser will:

When drawing a circle in SketchUp you define the:

Radius

Double-clicking with your mouse with push/pull does what?

Repeats previous push/pull distance

If you copy a component and then want to break the connection to the original you would:

Right-click on it and choose "make unique"

To manipulate geometry with the Move tool, what other tool is essential?

Selection Tool

What two things do you need in order to create a Follow Me instance?

Shape + Path

To HIDE an edge with the eraser you would:

Shift-click on the edge

What is the sequence to inference lock a line to the red direction with the shift key?

Start an edge in the red direction, hold shift, complete your line, release the shift key

What tool would you use to create a guide in SketchUp?

Tape Measure

To select all connected geometry with the Selection tool you would:

Triple-click on the geometry

A polygon radius can either be inscribed or circumscribed.

True

A surface must have a complete loop of coplanar edges to exist.

True

Every component you create will appear in the Components browser

True

If you make several copies of a component and then edit one, any changes will happen to all the copies

True

Modifier keys can be used when clicking OR dragging a selection window.

True

The move tool is always moving from one exact point in space to another exact point in space, even for "relative" moves

True

You can change the number of segments in arcs and circles.

True

You can place guidelines accurately by typing a distance.

True

You can select and move multiple objects at once.

True

You can select multiple groups and assign them all to a single Tag.

True

In SketchUp, Tags control what aspect?

Visibility of Geometry

When moving a group, what view style will allow you to look through objects and snap to points behind their geometry?

X-ray

Can you move endpoints with the move tool?

Yes

Can you place components in to your model directly from the Component browser?

Yes

Can you redefine the axis of group after you've created it?

Yes

If you copy a group, are both groups unique?

Yes

If nothing is selected, can you still move objects?

Yes the Move tool will auto-select

If you try to delete a tag that has groups assigned to it, what will happen?

You'll be prompted to move or delete the contents of the layer.

To use Follow Me, you need which two starting entities?

A surface and a path

Select ALL entities that Move will work on: A - Edges B - Surfaces C - Endpoints D - Components

A, B, C, D

Holding the Shift key with the selection arrow will:

Add or subtract entities from your selection

What key do you need to hold down in order to zoom in/out in Illustrator?

Alt

Which modifier key toggles autofold?

Alt

What is the rule for "Untagged"?

Always leave it as the active drawing layer

The down arrow key locks to what?

An existing edge

Dragging a selection widow from right to left will select:

Anything the window touches

When should you start grouping geometry together?

As early as possible

What is the stroke weight for the laser cutter?

.001

To draw a rectangle that is 40 centimeters by 1 meter, what value would you enter?

40 cm, 1 m

The default number of sides for polygons is:

6

7. To draw a line that is 1 and a half meters long you could enter what value?

A - 1.5m B - 150cm

To draw a line that is 2 and a half feet long you could enter what value?

A - 2' 6" B - 2.5' C - 30"

Why do we recommend that you change the number of segments i your arcs and circles before using Follow Me?

A high number of segments can result in heavy geometry that will slow down performance.
