1. HOW TO EARN AS VIRTUAL LABELER, LABEL ROOFS AND EARN! WFH SET-UP

Summary

This video provides a comprehensive overview of essential tools for building labeling, emphasizing speed and efficiency. Key tools discussed include the Right Angle Tool (F) for straight buildings, the Square Tool (E) for quick square shapes, the Draw Tool (S) for irregular buildings, and the Arc Tool (R) for drawing circles. Repair tools (X and Z) are demonstrated for fixing drawing errors, while the Cut Tool (T) helps split buildings into components. The video is designed to help users master these tools for both simple and complex building labeling tasks, preparing them for efficient project work.

Takeaways

• 😀 Use shortcuts for all drawing tools to increase speed and efficiency during labeling.
• 😀 The Right Angle Tool (F) is the most commonly used tool for drawing straight buildings.
• 😀 The Square Tool (E) allows you to quickly draw perfect square buildings with minimal clicks.
• 😀 The Draw Tool / Freestyle Tool (S) is designed for irregular or non-straight buildings and allows flexibility.
• 😀 The Arc Tool (R) is used for drawing circles or rounded buildings and can be combined with F or S for accuracy.
• 😀 Always draw the exact shape of the building, not the roof, for realistic labeling.
• 😀 Repair tools X (Right Angle Repair) and Z (Freestyle Repair) help fix or adjust buildings efficiently.
• 😀 The Cut Tool (T) is used to split a single building into multiple components, such as townhouses.
• 😀 Switching between tools (F, S, R) during drawing helps handle complex building shapes effectively.
• 😀 Proper use of drawing, repair, and cut tools ensures accurate, realistic, and time-efficient building labeling.

Q & A

Why is it important to use shortcuts when drawing buildings?

Using shortcuts makes the drawing process faster and more efficient, which is crucial during training, exams, and projects. It helps in labeling buildings quickly and accurately.

What is the primary function of the Right Angle tool (F)?

The Right Angle tool (F) is used to draw straight buildings, as it follows a right angle path. It's the most common tool used for drawing buildings with straight edges.

When should the Square tool (E) be used?

The Square tool (E) should be used when you need to draw buildings that have a square shape. It allows for quick drawing of squares by selecting just two points, making the process faster than drawing four individual points.

How does the Draw tool (S) differ from the Right Angle tool (F)?

The Draw tool (S) is used for buildings that are not straight, allowing for more flexibility in drawing irregular shapes. The Right Angle tool (F), on the other hand, is for straight-edged buildings.

What is the purpose of the Arc tool (R)?

The Arc tool (R) is used to draw circles. It's particularly helpful for drawing rounded shapes in buildings or structures where a curved line is required.

How do the Repair tools (X and Z) help in editing buildings?

The Repair tools (X and Z) are used to fix existing buildings. The X tool is for repairing right angles, while the Z tool is for freestyle repairs, enabling quick fixes to buildings that need adjustments or corrections.

How do you use the Repair tool X for fixing right-angle issues?

To use the Repair tool X, you select the area that needs fixing, click on the existing points, and the tool automatically guides you to adjust the shape with right angles.

What does pressing the Spacebar do in the drawing process?

Pressing the Spacebar is used to close the drawing once all points are selected. This action completes the drawing of a building or shape.

How can you switch between the Right Angle tool (F) and the Draw tool (S) while drawing?

You can switch between the Right Angle tool (F) and the Draw tool (S) as needed by pressing the respective shortcut keys. This allows for flexibility in drawing straight and irregular shapes.

What is the Cut tool (T) used for, and how is it applied?

The Cut tool (T) is used to divide buildings into smaller components. After drawing the building, you can use the Cut tool to split it into separate parts, which is helpful for buildings with multiple sections or complex shapes.
