Google SketchUp: The Missing Manual

Edit

This menu holds the standard Cut, Copy, and Paste commands as well as several specific commands that work with SketchUp components and groups.

Undo

Windows: Ctrl+Z

Mac: ⌘-Z

This command undoes the last command you applied. So if you accidentally delete an edge or face in the modeling window, the Undo command brings it back like magic. Remember Undo for those moments when you smack your head and say "Oh no! Why'd I do that?" SketchUp keeps track of your actions sequentially, so you can use multiple Undo commands to backtrack through your recent actions. Most actions can be undone, but a few—like the deletion of a scene—can't be undone.

Redo

Windows: Ctrl+Y

Mac: Shift-⌘-Z

Redo lets you undo an Undo command. If you undo an action or a command and then decide that you preferred it before the Undo, use the Redo command to get back to square one. You can use multiple Undos and Redos to move back and forth through your recent SketchUp activities.

Cut

Windows: Ctrl+X

Mac: ⌘-X

Removes the selected entity (or entities) from the modeling window, and places a copy of it on your computer's Clipboard. Once it's on the Clipboard, you can paste it back into the modeling window.

Note

The term entity refers to any selectable object in SketchUp. An entity can be a single edge, a face, or a complex group or component.

Copy

Windows: Ctrl+C

Mac: ⌘-C

Copies a selected entity (or entities) and places the copy on the Clipboard. The original entity stays in place. Using this command, you can copy and paste entities from ...
