Mastering SketchUp Axes: How to Reposition the Sketching Context in SketchUp for Better Workflow

In this clip from our livestream, we dive into the essential process of repositioning axes in SketchUp. If you've ever found yourself confused by axis orientation, especially when working with residential renovations or any custom SketchUp projects, this guide is for you. Whether you're designing from scratch or making changes to an existing model, having a clear and consistent sketching context ensures a smoother design process.

Watch as we walk through repositioning axes, testing orientations, and resetting the sketching context to help keep your design in line with the real world. Plus, see how baked-in True North functionality can eliminate the need for extra plugins.
