- [Instructor] Let's focus on creating the bargeboards here on the upper roof slopes on the second floor. So what I'll do is zoom in and click the Photo Point Tool and click right at the top of that white area. Then switch to Photo1 and zoom into that same area and use the Photo Tool again. I'll orbit around and where those two guidelines intersect, I'll draw a line and in this case, SketchUp is able to identify an intersection point. That may or may not be the case for you. If it's not, just eyeball a line, that's as close as possible to the intersection of the guides. Then go ahead and delete the guides. Switch back to Photo1 and draw a line in the green direction. Then I can go ahead and erase the vertical line. So now I know that this line terminates in the correct location in 3D space. And we can verify that by going to Photo2 and seeing that line ends there. Let's go ahead and rotate this line. I'll choose Tools, Rotate. I'll rotate it in the red direction. So I'll click right…
