SketchUp Shortcuts


Here I'm sharing my personal shortcuts I use in SketchUp. Very useful when drafting. When you get use to them you can make models at half the time.

You have 2 options, manually set one by one or just download the file, paste it and replace in your computer
I recommend not to change the SketchUp presetted shortcuts, just get use to them.

Download › Shortcuts.plist
Paste and replace in /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/SketchUp VersionNumber
