Greetings all. In this class, we will learn to draw the window, W2. This component is basically made of frame or glass. But due to the detail that we want to achieve, it's required to follow several steps. We will use the rectangle tool, measure tool, and a line tool. Let's get started. Now we are going to draw a window called W2. With a new file open, we switch to the front view and then select Rectangle Tool. The end of the region, we draw a 140 by 160 square centimeters rectangle. Here, we select the offset to make an internal rectangle with an offset of five centimeters for an original one. Next, we select the Tape Measure Tool to draw a guideline 46 centimeters below the top line of our window and then we draw another guideline eight centimeters below our first guideline. Once we have two guidelines, we select the Line Tool to trace a line on the guidelines we just drew. Then we can delete the guidelines, erase unnecessary lines and faces. After that, we select the Push/Pull Tool to pull the frame 12 centimeters. Then we select the whole frame so we can group it. Now, we draw a vertical guideline at the middle of the frame and another 2.5 centimeters to the left of the one we just drew. Now we draw a rectangle from the intersection between the second guideline and the frame to the inner lower right corner of the frame. Then we select Offset Tool to make an inner rectangle with an offset of three centimeters. We select the Move Tool and move two centimeters to the right, the left edge of the inner rectangle. Then we again delete the guidelines and unnecessary faces. Now we give it some balance by pulling this small frames four centimeters, then we just scrub it. Now we need to draw the guidelines. To do this, we select Rectangle Tool again to draw a rectangle from the middle of the inner corner of this small frame to the middle of the opposite diagonal corner. Then we apply the glass material on the face. We give the glass thickness of one centimeters, and then we group it. Once we finish this, we get a glass plane with a thickness of one centimeters, but it is not in the correct place. So we need to move the glass pane inwards 0.5 centimeters. Then we group the small inner frame with the glass pane. After that, we move the group inwards six centimeters. Next, we duplicate this group. To do this, we select the Move Tool and press control key. Notice the endpoint we choose is on the inner corner of the outer frame. Then we select the Scale Tool to mirror the copied window. Here, we can just input minus one in the measurement box. Next, move the mirror window inward to four centimeters because this frame goes behind. Now we finally have the front and back small window frame and glass done. Next, we draw the window transom. To do this, we duplicate the window pane below and then we scale this to a proper size. Once we have scaled down our transoms window pane, we can see that we've all the transoms upper and lower frame became about 1.22 centimeters, which is 1.78 centimeters shorter than the normal width. To fix this, we use the Select Tool, double-click on the group, and click right mouse button to edit group to edit it. Then we use Push/ Pull Tool to pull the lower part 1.78 centimeters. So, we obtain a transom frame with three centimeters of width. We do the same to the lower part. Once we finish with the left side, we apply the same procedure to the right side. We can use a tool to ensure we got every step done correctly. This tool is called Section Plane. To access this tool, we go to tool in the menu bar and then we select Section Plane, click on the upper surface of the window. Here we can observe the section of the inner and outer windows. This allows us to check whether we have got the components in the correct place or not. If everything is correct, it means that we are done with the double slides window. Now we turn this window into a SketchUp component. We start this by exploding all the groups we have made before it. Once we exploded all the groups, we select the entire window, click the right mouse button, and then we select the make components option. Here, we name this W2. At a description, we can edit dimension of this window, which are 140 by 160. We also need to change the Glue to option to any. And we also select the cut opening option. Then we click the Set Component Axes to set axes and the origin point for this component. The axes and origin, we set up here, will be the cut opening and the points when we'll stretch the component to the model surface. We will understand better why we do this setup ones we use the components. Click the Create, and now we go to default tray on the right. We find tray named components. There, we can find a component we have just created. Once we can find our component, we are going to try to use it so we can understand how it behaves when we use it. We first draw a cube. And on one face of the cube, we draw guidelines on the face to create an intersection between them. Then we attach component to this face by placing the component on this intersection. We can see that the face where the component was attached has a cutout on the place that occupied the components. At this points, we can't see through the window and observe the inner part of the cube. We need to be aware that function can only cut one single face. The wall we drew in the model has its thickness, which means that for these kind of walls, we need to cut both faces to attach our window correctly. We will show more in the next video. For now, we have learned how to create and set out a component. And then we created the component W2. It's important we remember that when we create a component in SketchUp, this can be used independently in different joints several times, and it should always behave as we set it. We will create similar components after, but let's stop for now. Goodbye.
