Presented by: Jake Lott

Length: 1:01:32

Join us for another exciting Ask Us Anything webinar. This one will focus on the Land F/X SketchUp Extension. Have your most pressing questions answered, and learn how this powerful tool integrates with your design workflow. We'll also provide an exclusive sneak peek at game-changing updates currently in development, such as a full Plant Manager, a new site content library, a growing generic plant content library, and helpful tools like Mimic, Copy-Along, and Align-to-Face. Don't miss this chance to explore what's new, what's coming, and how our extension can take your projects to the next level.

 

Several users have contacted us to request a list of the SketchUp keyboard shortcuts used in this webinar. We've made these shortcuts available as a downloadable PDF file, linked below.

 

SketchUp shortcut keys

This list of commands is not an extensive list of all standard key commands offered by SketchUp (for example, L for the Line command and A for the Arc command). This list is specific to the commands offered within SketchUp and other plugins that typically do not have pre-assigned key commands but are useful tools in day-to-day modeling.
