How do I delete guides in SketchUp Pro?

Published in SketchUp Guides 2 mins read

You can delete guides in SketchUp Pro either individually or all at once.

Here's how to remove guides in SketchUp Pro:

1. Deleting Guides Individually:

  • Activate the Eraser tool (or press the E key).
  • Click on the guide you want to delete. The guide will disappear.

2. Deleting All Guides:

  • Navigate to the Display settings. The exact location might depend on your SketchUp Pro version, but it's often found in a tray on the right side of the SketchUp window. Look for a tab that says something like "Default Tray".
  • In the Default Tray, find the Display settings (you might need to expand a section).
  • You should see an option to Delete All Guides. Click this button. Alternatively, there may be an option to turn off the visibility of guides here.
  • All guides in your model will be deleted.

Alternative Method using the Edit Menu:

  • Go to the Edit menu in the top toolbar.
  • Select Delete Guides. This will remove all guides from your model.

Tips:

  • Before deleting all guides, consider if you need any of them later. Once deleted, they are gone (unless you undo the action).
  • You can use layers to manage guides. Place all your guides on a specific layer and then you can simply turn the layer off or on to hide or show the guides without deleting them.
