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.
