The From Scratch Tool

From Scratch creates a series of rectangular faces forming a grid. The size of the rectangles composing the grid can be adjusted by entering a value in the Value Control Box. For example, entering 4´ will create a grid composed of 4´ × 4´ squares.

Once a value for the grid size is selected, the From Scratch tool requires three selection points: a starting point, a point to define width, and a point providing length. SketchUp will generate the From Scratch grid as a group.
