Incredibly well done!
I started messing with SketchUp a few days ago after receiving a task in school to re-design our class tables. The curved pipe trick you show here is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you!!
I DOUBLE THAT!!!
YOU CERTAINLY AN EXCELLENT IN TEACHING AS WELL AS DESIGN
THANKS A LOT!
Hi from Siberia! Thank you, Aaron! Very clear and helpful. And very nice voice:)
I'm new to Sketchup but I must add, your tutorials are great. Keep it up!
Thanks for sharing. Useful little tips. I feel I must add a few of my observations about "follow me" exercises that do not work out because of "too much detail". The simple solution is to 1) make everything an object, 2) scale it up tenfold, 3) use follow me, and then 4) scale it down tenfold. It appears that scale has something to do with Sketchup's calculations.
You are not only an excellent designer but a very good teacher. Get to work on some more vids cause I really learned a lot :) Thank you!
Matt Ridgway Stay tuned Matt. Just recorded one today.
How are you bending the straight lines you have drawn with the pencil to make the wine glass?
Thanks!
Thanks Aaron, i found your tutorial to be very concise. Started here, but am sure to watch the others
Thank you for this really clear tutorial, you'r just open to me a lot of possibilities !
Nice video man, really helped. I lost it when u drew that pipe, I've been trying so many things with the follow me tool and never thought of doing that.... -_-
I admire your work. it was very clear and fun to watch keep making videos like this!
You are the Godfather of Sketchup ;)
Excellent tutorial....Easy and precise!
This video was incredibly helpful. Thank you for making it.
Excellent tutorial. Very pleasant to watch and listen. Thank you.
My hero! Thanks for the help.
Wonderful demo and getting to like more of SketchUp!@
Oh hell yeah! Thank you soo much for this tutorial!
Thanks for the post! It's very helpful!
Thank you Aaron! This is an amazing tutorial! By the way, your choice of music is simply delightful! Would you mind sharing the titles and artist names with us? Thank you in advance!
Hi Aaron, can this method be used for designing a car chassis, something like a 34 chev?
Great tutorial well done !!
Thank you for the helpful information!
Excellent tutorial.
great tutorial. really helped thanks
Very helpful! Thank you.
Cool videos!
Do you have one on creating that type of shapes (like the wine glass)?
Thanks
well done my friend, keep up the good work! could you please explain how to draw a weld for metal work drawing?
very informative! thanks! :)
Thank you Aaron
how can I make a perfect radious for example the pipes. the radius of the bend for precise corners in engineering models. Sorry I just started using this program and its a bit frustrating sometimes.. :(
Great tutorial! Just a question: I can't find the drawing tool to make round edges on the path that you use e.g. at 7:47 into the video. Is that also a plugin tool or is that native? How do I get it?
+Peter Nilsson It has slighty different icon now. It's name as Follow me
:D
I believe it's the arc tool.
How does one access those plugins?
will this plugin work if my trial ended and sketchup make is on? and what's the difference between the two( pro and make)? sorry i'm just new at sketchup and i think you can help me. thanks! like your videos! nice work!
Helpful. Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial, I'm trying to create the metal arm for a Technics turntable, haven't got the angle right yet.
Great Tutorial !
Thanks u
You dont have to use the eraser to delete the corner after you make the arc, just double click the point where to make the arc, at the pink line and it will erase automaticaly the corner :)
AARON, DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS FOR CREATING A SHERE SHAPED SPIRAL, WITH A RECTANGLE SECTION AT 45 DEGREE ANGLE
Very good video
Pipes drove me mad! I was using it for a wall lantern, but I kept getting gaps for hours, even after viewing this tut. Searched the forum and saw that pipes with angles must be extended longer than the actual length because SKU gets confused and adds the unwanted gaps. After Follow-Me tool, just trim off the extra length with Push, Pull.
Just wow sir..
Been trying for hours to draw a 50mm stainless curved handrail corner.Duh.Thanks a lot for this vid.
very decent tutorial ....thank you
can someone please explain to me exactly how to know what offset to set to so I can have the shape I want in the Round Corner plugin?
Nice job
How do you get that toolbar?
you saved my life.
i am getting this message
undefined method `collect' for nil:NilClass
using mac osx sketchup pro
what am i doing wrong... the apply checkmark floats around and doesn't look like the youtube video...?
Hey im fairly new to Sketchup, but need to use it fr a school project. Just wondering how you made the "curved lines" at 7:45
You sort of connected two of the straight lines then did a shortcut i would assume, which allowed you to connect them with a curved line.
Edit: I managed to fix that issue, but i have a new one :D
When i use the follow me tool i cant get them to follow the lines i made, what do I do?
Hope you can get back to me soon!
Thanks for this amazing tutorial by the way.
Take care.

After you've made your circle at the start of your 'pipeline', use the normal pencil tool to draw straight lines roughly in the direction you want the pipeline to go. Then to curve the corners of your straight lines, use the 2-point arc tool. With the 2-point arc, click the two points where you want the curve to start and finish along the line you drew, then your last click will adjust how deep you want your curve to be :) Hope this helps!
good tutorial, i have also is this program very very gooood!
education videos are the future.
How do I draw the curved lines on the pipe (I'n VERY new to Sketchup)?
I Love Taylor Swift follow me tool.

Can you guys give me a suggestion of a good plug ins a beginner like me can use?
Thanks!
Aaron, I am in Sketchup 8 and trying to download "Round Corner" as narrated in the Tutorial. The App doesn't exist in Sketchup 8; how can I work around this omission?
It should exist, I was using SketchUp 8 for this video. Here is a link to the plugin: sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=20485#p171721
This is super helpful. Thanks. I want to make a tomato. Would you show me how and what tools to use? Thanks again.
Organic shapes are a little harder in SketchUp, I can try and tackle this for you in a future video.
Ive tried this so many times and it wont work for me. I have tried using sketchup 2015 and 2016. When I do this it wont do ANYTHING at the bends or elbows, but resumes just past the elbows. Wish I could attach a picture, but no matter what I try, I cant get it to work, I don't know if its because I'm doing this in metric and small sizes or what.
can you send me your sketch up plugins?
i only have basic tools, how can i find that tools, like your's
perfect
Can you please make a video for making a perfect pillow..?
thanks for your reply, but I don't mean the follow me. I was thinking of the tool that looks like the pen tool in Photoshop, the tool that is used to draw a bended curve.

wow thanks alot
god bless you
sir i have problem i am making windows and doors in round building but failed kindly help second prob is kindly help me in downloading pluginns
you use source filmmaker?
I do not.
Figured out what it was... Sketchup isn't smart enough to handle smaller sizes. So for example I was trying to model a 1.5mm rod and bend it for servo (just for schematic purposes) and it wont do it. If I increase scale to huge, it works.. Cant get it do to smaller size though :( Guess I need to find a diff prog.
4:20 mins what is the tool you use to change the pencil line into a curve? This is why I was watching the video, and you don't show it

how did you draw the wine glass base? argh!!!!
+6400loser looks like he mostly used the arc tool... you could just draw it roughly with straight lines first,like he does in the video, and then refine it with the arc tool!
pls i need to no how to donwload or add my plugins tanks
round corner doesn't work in 13 pro
Too bad you need to 'jumping through hoops' with plugins for this...
too much extensions
while his presentation is excellent, as a begìnner it was very fast, i'll have to take my brain out and plug it into the presentation.
I clicked dislike on this mainly because it does not need a plug-in to make a sphere. (Half-circle following a full circle, which are 90deg to each other and you got a ball.)
I agree that the/a plug-in makes more complex design easier.
Not very useful at all. You are just showing us how to do it and not teaching how to do it tbh
How does one access those plugins?
