SketchUp Tutorial: How to Create a Sphere in 4 Steps

If you are an architecture student who uses Google SketchUp, then you surely have tried at least once to create a perfect sphere in SketchUp on your own. And, at least once, you must have failed. Then you must have searched for videos on youtube and must have followed those lengthy video tutorials. Step after step after step you follow only to end up not remembering anything. Those videos aren't really teaching you the right way, to tell you honestly.

If you want to teach, you'll get direct to the point. The shorter the video, the more efficient it is as long as the content is still 100% intact.

Four steps. That's what I'll show you in this 35-second video. Creating a circle in sketchup requires only seconds, you can do it in 4 very very easy steps. There's no need to hassle yourself with  creating too much objects or erasing lines and softening edges that appear on the sphere's surface after using the' follow me' tool incorrectly just to make the sphere look like a sphere. Let me show you the right way to do it:

SketchUp Tutorial: The correct way to use the Follow Me Tool

(b) draw the path you want it to follow using the line tool;
(c) select the path you've drawn; and finally,
(d) with the follow me tool, click the cross section you've drawn.
