00:00.840 --> 00:02.320
Hi, welcome back.

00:02.320 --> 00:05.160
In this next video, we are going to do the same thing

00:05.160 --> 00:07.360
with trees, both plants.

00:08.400 --> 00:11.520
So again, let's go kind of zoom in.

00:11.520 --> 00:14.440
We want to add plants around this hillside

00:14.440 --> 00:15.840
and in our planter.

00:15.840 --> 00:17.160
I'm really going to focus on that.

00:17.160 --> 00:19.960
We want to create a nice dense amount of plants

00:19.960 --> 00:23.440
that could be swapped out with 3D plants and 2D plants,

00:23.440 --> 00:24.200
et cetera.

00:25.120 --> 00:26.880
This is going to be used to create some really nice

00:26.880 --> 00:31.880
perspectives to use for our final deliverables.

00:34.440 --> 00:37.000
So let's go back into our tags.

00:37.000 --> 00:40.200
Let's make a new layer or new tag called plants.

00:40.200 --> 00:41.400
We have that ready to go.

00:42.280 --> 00:47.280
And now go into our components and go into landscape.

00:50.600 --> 00:52.840
And here, let's go into plant slow poly

00:53.680 --> 00:57.200
and going into our 3D warehouse.

00:58.480 --> 01:01.520
And then let's scroll down to shrubs 2D.

01:01.520 --> 01:04.200
We want to download four different types of shrubs

01:04.200 --> 01:05.600
that we can use.

01:05.600 --> 01:10.600
Sketchup has very limited amount of 2D plants to use.

01:11.520 --> 01:13.800
I think the 2D fountain grass is okay.

01:15.080 --> 01:16.880
But for now, we'll just use these

01:16.880 --> 01:18.960
and we'll swap these out with 3D ones.

01:18.960 --> 01:21.640
This is a little bit faster to place plants.

01:21.640 --> 01:25.360
So we'll first start off with these 2D sumac shrub.

01:25.360 --> 01:27.240
We'll download that.

01:27.240 --> 01:32.240
And then we'll kind of place this periodically around.

01:32.520 --> 01:34.600
We'll open up our in model.

01:34.600 --> 01:38.040
We'll find that 2D sumac shrub and we'll, again,

01:38.040 --> 01:43.040
keep kind of placing this periodically around this hillside.

01:47.600 --> 01:51.160
We can put them in kind of little groups,

01:51.160 --> 01:54.240
make it more kind of a natural arrangements.

01:55.600 --> 01:57.720
And these are all face me components.

01:57.720 --> 02:02.240
So when you're looking from above,

02:02.240 --> 02:05.480
they look really kind of skinny and small,

02:05.480 --> 02:08.040
but when you're on the ground, they look a lot better.

02:08.040 --> 02:10.440
I'll kind of demonstrate that.

02:10.440 --> 02:12.280
Yeah, we look down here, they look nice.

02:16.360 --> 02:18.880
Okay, the next component that I want to bring in,

02:19.800 --> 02:22.600
it's another plant, go back to our landscape,

02:22.600 --> 02:23.840
plant slow poly,

02:26.080 --> 02:27.880
shrubs 2D.

02:27.880 --> 02:31.640
And this time, let's bring in 2D fountain grass.

02:31.640 --> 02:34.760
We're gonna put a lot of these fountain grasses

02:34.760 --> 02:36.360
kind of throughout.

02:36.360 --> 02:37.760
However, when you bring these in,

02:37.760 --> 02:41.240
the scale of this is very large.

02:41.240 --> 02:43.280
So let's modify this scale.

02:43.280 --> 02:47.280
And let's do an S for scale.

02:47.280 --> 02:49.080
And we'll kind of scale this down signature

02:49.080 --> 02:51.600
that is kind of, the origin is still centered.

02:52.680 --> 02:55.600
We can even kind of click H to show rest of model

02:55.600 --> 02:57.320
so we can see really,

02:57.320 --> 02:59.640
but we're gonna put a lot of these grasses all around

02:59.640 --> 03:03.360
and they can be kind of small like this size right here.

03:03.360 --> 03:04.880
Maybe even a little wider if you want,

03:04.880 --> 03:06.040
kind of modify that.

03:07.040 --> 03:10.480
Yeah, just like this, perfect.

03:10.480 --> 03:12.800
And so now we can go into our in model

03:12.800 --> 03:14.680
and find this 2D fountain grass.

03:14.680 --> 03:17.000
And we can keep click.

03:17.000 --> 03:19.760
And then kind of paste these all around.

03:19.760 --> 03:23.560
We want to do just a whole bunch of these guys.

03:36.640 --> 03:39.280
These are nice kind of grasses

03:39.280 --> 03:41.120
that kind of gives you some kind of depth

03:42.120 --> 03:44.920
and some kind of accent behind this wall.

03:45.800 --> 03:49.240
Really make this landscape wall

03:49.240 --> 03:52.320
have a nice kind of hedge of plants

03:52.320 --> 03:54.240
and in little grasses sticking up.

03:58.280 --> 04:00.320
You know, this may take a little bit of time.

04:01.560 --> 04:06.560
Feel free to skip forward as you do this on your own

04:07.480 --> 04:11.640
as I continue to kind of place these things around.

04:15.440 --> 04:17.520
You have to each time you click a component,

04:17.520 --> 04:19.520
you got to make sure you click it in the component

04:19.520 --> 04:20.800
and then paste it in there.

04:20.800 --> 04:23.480
You don't want to allow you to do multiple.

04:28.840 --> 04:32.600
Slowly working my way around the site.

04:37.360 --> 04:40.560
Being careful to have on face and group

04:40.560 --> 04:44.000
and being on the actual grass and not anywhere else.

04:45.920 --> 04:49.400
You see here, I want to snap onto the top of that.

04:49.400 --> 04:51.080
Make sure I get on this grass.

05:15.200 --> 05:17.720
You don't need to go too high up the hill.

05:17.720 --> 05:20.720
So you won't really be able to see too much of that.

05:20.720 --> 05:24.720
But we do want to add some of these grasses over here.

05:45.120 --> 05:47.120
Okay, before we do anything else,

05:47.120 --> 05:50.120
let's do a selection window over these plants.

05:53.120 --> 05:55.120
And select only the plants.

05:55.120 --> 05:58.120
And we'll right click make group

05:58.120 --> 06:01.120
and add these into our plants.

06:03.120 --> 06:08.120
Okay, and let's add another plant.

06:08.120 --> 06:10.920
Let's go back into our

06:10.920 --> 06:13.920
our landscape tab and our components dialog box.

06:13.920 --> 06:15.920
Plants low poly.

06:15.920 --> 06:19.920
And let's go back into our shrubs 2D.

06:19.920 --> 06:22.920
And let's go add in more of like a flowering plant.

06:22.920 --> 06:25.920
This 2D gave further shrub.

06:25.920 --> 06:28.920
You want to add this flowering plant kind of

06:28.920 --> 06:30.920
in sort of in the front.

06:30.920 --> 06:32.920
Let's go back to our in model tab

06:32.920 --> 06:34.920
and start putting in these flowers.

06:34.920 --> 06:38.920
So we're going to add in more of a flowering plant.

06:38.920 --> 06:40.920
Start putting in these flowers.

06:40.920 --> 06:42.920
Want to make this one maybe a little bit smaller.

06:42.920 --> 06:45.920
So that way it's more of like a little flower.

06:45.920 --> 06:49.920
Maybe it kind of goes a little bit underneath the origin.

06:49.920 --> 06:52.920
So it's something like that.

06:52.920 --> 06:56.920
We can place a lot of these flowering plants,

06:56.920 --> 07:01.920
ones that are a little bit lower and more kind of in front.

07:01.920 --> 07:05.920
You don't need to go too far around the corner.

07:05.920 --> 07:07.920
Just kind of halfway.

07:07.920 --> 07:11.920
It's like a good place to start and stop.

07:11.920 --> 07:15.920
So yeah, I want to put a lot of these plants kind of in this area.

07:15.920 --> 07:20.920
And then I'll put a lot of these flowering plants inside this

07:20.920 --> 07:38.920
planar box here.

07:38.920 --> 07:40.920
Again, this can kind of be a little tedious.

07:40.920 --> 07:42.920
So if you're on a flat surface,

07:42.920 --> 07:45.920
you can click multiple move copy.

07:45.920 --> 07:48.920
You kind of can kind of place them like that.

07:48.920 --> 07:52.920
You know, if you're on a curved surface,

07:52.920 --> 07:55.920
it's not as easy to do that.

07:55.920 --> 08:06.920
Again, you can go back to maybe the fountain grass,

08:06.920 --> 08:09.920
add some fountain grasses inside here.

08:09.920 --> 08:11.920
So now that you have them kind of loaded,

08:11.920 --> 08:17.920
you can kind of click, kind of play with how you want this to be.

08:18.920 --> 08:20.920
Ultimately, you're designing this landscape.

08:20.920 --> 08:24.920
Sometimes you'll have a landscape plan from a landscape architect

08:24.920 --> 08:27.920
where you'll kind of follow that and place them accordingly.

08:27.920 --> 08:32.920
Or you can import that planar together and place each of these on top of it.

08:32.920 --> 08:36.920
And as the plant selection has changed or you find a new model,

08:36.920 --> 08:38.920
you can kind of swap those out.

08:38.920 --> 08:42.920
So this is kind of a really kind of nice way to do it.

08:42.920 --> 08:45.920
Keep in mind that I'm placing these not inside of this group.

08:45.920 --> 08:53.920
So you'll have to again do a selection window.

08:53.920 --> 08:54.920
I'll just do this point.

08:54.920 --> 09:01.920
I'll just do a copy, delete, select this group,

09:01.920 --> 09:04.920
and then paste in place.

09:04.920 --> 09:09.920
And now I will start actually adding these things inside of this group

09:09.920 --> 09:12.920
to keep it a little bit simpler.

09:15.920 --> 09:42.920
Alright, and then I will import one last plant.

09:42.920 --> 09:48.920
I'll go into my landscape tab again, plant a little poly,

09:48.920 --> 09:56.920
shrubs 2D, and this time let's bring in 2D sketch grass.

09:56.920 --> 09:59.920
We'll add a little bit more of these, these kind of grasses,

09:59.920 --> 10:01.920
maybe a little bit taller ones.

10:01.920 --> 10:07.920
Kind of fill on this area,

10:07.920 --> 10:22.920
and the areas where maybe it's a little bit kind of bare.

10:22.920 --> 10:34.920
I'll put a few in the planter box.

10:34.920 --> 10:36.920
Again, this doesn't have to be perfect.

10:36.920 --> 10:39.920
You know, plants kind of grow organically.

10:39.920 --> 10:44.920
And so you can kind of place these shrubs you like.

10:44.920 --> 10:47.920
They can be as dense or not as dense as possible.

10:47.920 --> 10:50.920
I'm making my fairly dense because I want to create a very lush

10:50.920 --> 10:53.920
landscaping behind my patio space.

10:53.920 --> 10:57.920
So people are out partaking in this evening activities or day activities

10:58.920 --> 11:04.920
there are looking out on a really well grown and beautiful

11:04.920 --> 11:06.920
landscaping design.

11:06.920 --> 11:09.920
And this would actually come across really nicely too

11:09.920 --> 11:25.920
in any sort of perspectives and renderings that we end up doing.

11:26.920 --> 11:29.920
See a few more areas where maybe we might need to add some landscaping,

11:29.920 --> 11:45.920
kind of fill in the empty voids.

11:45.920 --> 11:49.920
Then now as we kind of look down, you can see that we have this

11:49.920 --> 11:54.920
really nice kind of landscaping around our patio.

11:54.920 --> 12:03.920
We can modify these by changing the transparencies.

12:03.920 --> 12:06.920
What is to this temporarily is we're going to swap these out soon enough.

12:06.920 --> 12:10.920
But if you end up wanting to keep these 2D plants or change them out later,

12:10.920 --> 12:12.920
we see you have these colors.

12:12.920 --> 12:14.920
You can even modify some of the colors.

12:14.920 --> 12:18.920
You got some yellowish plants and you got some, you know,

12:18.920 --> 12:23.920
maybe this pink ends up being a bright

12:23.920 --> 12:26.920
yellow orange type color.

12:26.920 --> 12:33.920
You can really kind of have some fun with this, maybe this.

12:33.920 --> 12:38.920
These grasses maybe are a bit maybe they're a little darker.

12:38.920 --> 12:42.920
So you can really see like adding some color and some playfulness

12:42.920 --> 12:49.920
to this landscaping really, really punches it out.

12:50.920 --> 12:55.920
I'm going to save my file and I want to double check my tags

12:55.920 --> 12:58.920
to see if this will turn off the plants.

12:58.920 --> 13:01.920
I select that and it does.
