Hopefully you’ve found our pick of the best free extensions in SketchUp Pro useful.SketchUp is one of the easiest, fastest, and most popular 3D modeling software. Also lets you select similar instances of the same Dynamic Component. Let’s you quickly select entities with similar properties such as material, layer orientation etc. Provides a wide range of selection modifiers, filter out all edges, faces etc. This plugin allows you to apply a skin over edges to create complex curved surfaces. RoundCorner also supports concave corners (always rendered as Round) and non-orthogonal edge faces. RoundCorner performs the rounding of the edges and corners of 3D shapes along a 2D profile, in 3 modes: Round corners, Sharp corners and Bevel. Erase lonely edges (Except edges on cut plane).Fix duplicate component definition names (When in model scope).Pretty simple really – cleans up and optimizes your SketchUp model. This concept was introduced by a4chitect’s Smart Push Pull plugin. FOLLOW – Faces are offset along the direction given by their adjacent edges.ROUND – Combination of Normal and Joint mode depending on the angle between faces, with automatic rounding of gaps between faces.Gives more consistent results than Joint tool. EXTRUDE – Faces are offset along an average direction, keeping faces jointed.
VECTOR – Faces are offset along a custom direction picked graphically in the model (or along model axes).NORMAL – Similar to native Push Pull, but in multi-face.JointPushPull is a script dedicated to Face extrusion, with several Tools. Weld allows you to select multiple connected edges, curves, and/or arcs (“connected” means having common endpoints), then use the Weld tool to join them into a single “polyline”.
SketchUp WeldĪn incredibly useful extension – you won’t realise how much you need it until you start to actually use it. Therefore we’ve picked out just a few free extensions that we think could be the most useful to the largest demographic. You don’t need us to tell you that the Extension Warehouse can be a vast and beautiful – if slightly bewildering place. This post is all about everyone’s favourite F word: ‘Free’. Last week we were at Clerkenwell Design Week with the SketchUp gang and we picked up a whole host of cool tips, tricks, and advice which would, quite frankly, be rude of us not to share with you, dear reader.
