SketchUp Woodworking

Introduction to SketchUp Woodworking

SketchUp Woodworking is related to designing of 3D model of wood material with all precise dimensions so that woodworkers can prepare a layout for cutting wood for that model. Woodworking is the same as designing another model that we create in this software, but you have to keep some points in your mind during creating that model. For example, if you are making any table, then there are many grooves that the woodworker will cut at the time of creating that table in the sawmill so you can enter the value of that groove and check the fitting in this software. Same as this we can do many things.

How to Perform Woodworking in Sketchup?

For performing woodworking in the right manner, you have a good understanding of the dimensions of the wooden model. Then, I will tell you about woodworking by making an open wooden cupboard.

In default Templates of SketchUp, you will have a template for Woodworking so that you can go with that also. There are two woodworking templates, one is in Inches, and the other is in Millimeters. I will go with the Inches template.

Now, after choosing a template, I will take the Rectangle tool for making the main body of the cupboard. I take rough dimensions, not standard dimensions, for this cupboard. All the dimensions are just for giving you an idea about woodworking.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 2

And draw a rectangle of 4’’ x 6’’.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 3

And add some height with the help of the Push/Pull tool. For example, I will add a height of 10’’.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 4

Now come to the front face of this model, take the offset tool, and then click on the edge of this face. I will drag the mouse pointer of this tool inside this face because I want to offset it in the inside direction. I will enter 0.25’’ as offset distance. It will be the thickness of the plywood board from which this cupboard will be made.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 5

Now take the Line tool and draw a line in the center of this face from upper mid-point to lower mid-point.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 6

Now I will click on the right view icon for the right view, and this will show me the front face of this cupboard.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 7

Now take the Tape Measurement tool and click on this center line, then drag the mouse cursor in the right direction and enter the value as 0.125’’, which is half of .25’’.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 8

I will do the same on the left side of this centerline. I am drawing these guidelines because I want to create a plywood board of 0.25’’ thickness at the center of this cupboard.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 9

Now I want to divide the left section of this cupboard into two sections so that I will draw the line at the center of this section.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 10

And draw two guidelines so that I can create a 0.25’’ thickness board here also.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 11

I will divide the right side section into three parts. You can see the height of this cupboard is 10’’ and if we leave the thickness of plywood board from both sides that is 0.25’’ + 0.25’’ = 0.50’’ then it will be 9.5’’ left so you can divide this left dimension into three sections that are 9.5/3 = 3.167. So I will take a tape measurement tool and add a guideline at 3.167 distances.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 12

Repeat it from the guideline for the next section.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 13

Now delete all the lines which we have drawn with the line tool.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 14

And with the help of a line tool, draw plywood board thickness like this which divides this cupboard into sections.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 15

Now select all guidelines and delete them. Then, if you drag the mouse cursor from right to left, it will select the whole object you drag it.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 16

You can see our sections are ready now.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 17

If you want to remember the dimensions of your model, then you can mention dimensions on your model with the Dimensions tool. Just take this tool from the tool panel.

Dimensions tool Output 18

And first, click on the start point of dimension, then endpoint, and drag it in an upward direction for seeing it properly.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 19

Now I will take the Push/Pull tool and drag this section in an inward direction and enter the pull value as 4’’- 0.25’’ = 3.75’’ for having a hollow section in this cupboard.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 20

I will do the same for all sections.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 21

Now I want to make two drawers here in this section so that I will divide this section into two sections with the help of the line tool.

Line tool Output 22

Now I will move the upper rectangle like this.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 23

And extrude it at 3.75’’.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 24

Now come to Top view by clicking on the Top view icon.

Top view icon Output 25

And take the offset tool for offsetting its upper face at the distance of 0.25’’.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 26

You can check the height of this draw with the dimensions tool.

Dimensions tool Output 27

Now I will add depth to this drawer with a push/pull tool according to dimensions.

Push/pull tool Output 28

Then I will add lines here in the top face of the draw.

SketchUp Woodworking Output 29

Then pull it in the downward direction by entering a downward height as 0.25’’.

Output 30

Now move it here to the hollow section of this cupboard. Before moving it, make it a group.

Output 31

I will find min point of it by drawing lines like this.

Output 32

And with the help of the Circle tool, I will draw a circle in its center.

Output 33

Remove all the lines one by one with the eraser tool.

Output 34

And extrude it at some height so that it becomes the handle of this drawer.

Output 35

Now select draw and this handle by holding the shift key of the keyboard. Make sure you have grouped them separately before doing this. Now make them as a component. Next, do the same for each separate part of this cupboard.

Output 36

I will name it drawer 1.

Output 37

Now move it in a downward direction for making a copy of it. Hold Ctrl key during moving for making a copy.

Output 38

This way, you can create an open cupboard with all dimensions.

Output 39

You can also assign wood materials to different sections of the wooden models.

Output 40

Conclusion

As I have given you an overview of woodwork, you can create your own design. You just have to follow the appropriate dimensions of your desired model to easily create a layout before cutting wood for that model. After creating your wooden model, you can create Cutlist for that, and it will prepare the cutting layout automatically for you.
