This seems like it would be wonderful for throwing curved sidewalks, parking lots, etc. onto site plans.....very excited to try out. Thanks for your work, chief.
Thanks for watching!
I am always watch you'r tutorials and thankful for you.
Thanks very much!
You start archicad.. You teach a lot with easy .. i am form bangladesh
Great review! I'm new to product design, and one of my projects is organic like these examples. Thanks!
Hello from London, Firstly , I can’t thank you enough for these video tutorials. You have enabled me to save lots of time modelling to sets for work, so thank you . Secondly I need to create a cave for a to studio set, 20ft high and modelling in S/UP , I’ve gone down the sandbox route and sculpting the walls , it’s time consuming and although I want an organic look , you def get that with sandbox with little control (that’s due to my lack of experience too) . I wondered if you had any ideas using flowify or another type of extension or general advise . I’ll beef it all up with rocks found in the 3D warehouse. Thanks again for the tutorials
I had to subscribe! Simple yet amazing explanation! God bless you for sharing your knowledge my friend!

Pra quem não se dá mt bem com inglês eu tentei fazer o passo a passo, espero que ajude:
1 - Criar um arco
2 - Copiar o arco para usar como referência
3 - Criar uma linha a partir da ferramenta “arco” da ponta de um arco até o arco referência
4 - Unir os segmentos usando a extensão “Weld”.
5 - Copiar o seguimento formado com o comando “move” até a outra ponta do arco
6 - Espelhar ou virar a linha usando a ferramenta “escala” ou “rotacionar”
7 Clicar na ferramenta Extrude by rails, selecionar respectivamente o primeiro arco criado, as duas linhas e depois o arco referência
8 - Seguir as opções
9 - Criar uma linha no no eixo azul a partir do inicio do primeiro arco
10 - Criar um retângulo no em direção a extensão da forma
11 - Fazer outro segmento de reta a partir da outra ponta do mesmo arco e conecta-la ao retângulo criado
12 - Selecionar as duas linhas e criar grupo
13 - Selecionar o retângulo e criar grupo
14 - Selecionar os 3 grupos e formar outro grupo
15 - Fora dos grupos, criar um retângulo em cima do retângulo criado
16 - Criar formas para servirem de guias para a ferramenta Flowify
17 - Selecionar toda a forma e usar a ferramenta Multiples offsets
18 - Seguir as opções
19 - Deletar as linha entre linhas das “paredes” formadas com a borracha.
20 - Clique dentro da “parede” criada duas vezes para seleciona-la e depois segurando shift selecione toda a forma (isso vai deslecionar as paredes e selecionar apenas as faces [inverteu-se a seleção]) e depois delete as faces.
21 - Crie um grupo dessa forma separadamente
22 - Selecione os dois grupos (o grupo com os 3 ‘componentes’ e o grupo que acabamos de criar)
23 - Clique na ferramenta Flowify
24 - Esse processo pode demorar um pouco dependendo da configuração do seu computador.
thank you this is brilliant 😁
No problem 😊
very usefull channel, many thanks
You make me interest in curve surfaces that all the time i have problem thank u very much for your desire ....
Glad you liked it!
This is wonderful
Love you're creative ideas. Makes me wonder how far you can go with flowefy before it crashes. :-)
As long as your PC will keep generating new geometry!!!!
amazing work .. thank u so much

Very nice! Thanks.

Nice Tutorial!
😎😀
crazy videos babe

Thank you for the tutorial.
Can sketchup build complex Jewelry design instead of using Rhino or blender?
Pretty interesting program. I am professional digital modeler working in automotive area. Bit curious how this will work and affect to automotive designers. Thank you for sharing your video
Very cool stuff!
Thanks!
Thanks again
No problem!
Thank you sir
:)
hi! Could I ask how to change the height of the middle part? Without adjusting the both ends
thanks
😀
10:20 you can triple click and then deselect the outer one with shift(or ctrl, i dont remember) click. Much faster ✌️
I'd say about the same, actually, but still should work - thanks!
loved it
Thanks!
Wow bro. you are marvelous ;)
Looks the plugin asks you questions as if a quiz is going on😁,BTW very useful
Lol - lots of questions equals lots of options!
Congrats!
Thanks :)
Love u bro u're are a real deal
Thanks very much - glad you're liking the videos!
That is so amazing ong man! Honestly love your videos, I am currently working on a project in which I’m turning a rig cage design into a shopping mall, I did it in Rhino but I wanted to know if it will be possible in Sketchup, I’d appreciate any tips from you Sir!
Thank you!
Sorry, I'm not really understanding what kind of shape you're trying to create...
TheSketchUpEssentials well I need to create a shopping mall between a train bridge shifting into a y shape, so like a canopy sort of thing, but using the concept of ribs, to have glass in the middle of each rib. Thanks
Impressive !
Thanks :)
Regarding the flowify extension, did you just draw any random rectangle, and connected the two corners with those projection lines on the main object? Because in one of the videos about flowify, you said that the impose grid won't work unless the dimensions of the rectangle are exactly the same as the main object below!
Do the techniques and features you use require paid sketchup pro or will the free web based version suffice?
A big thank you for your many tutorials! I follow them with great interest and start to master a lot of plugins thanks to you!
But Flowify continues to pose a problem for me: I am desperately trying to operate on a curved surface (vase). I create the half-vase without thickness, I have 4 corners. I draw my lines, and I make my surface, I make my three groups that I put in one big group. I click on "Impose Grid", but it doesn't work. I tried several times, the grid cannot apply. I'm desperate. Do you know where the problem can come from? Many thanks in advance if you have the time and the desire to respond.
i have the same problem here.. please, anyone can explain this? thank youuuuu
perfect thank you i have a question please answer how i can use .fbx or .obj format in sketchup ?
Epic, that is all
😎
Hi! I'm having a problem with the download of the extention. The plugin doesn't appear for use, even if I go to the tool window, I just can't find the plugin
Hello sir , how to import SketchUp models in substance painter and add materials ?
good job
Thanks :)
THIS PLUGIN HAS HOW TO DOWNLOAD IT FOR SKETCHUP 2008 EXTRUSION
hey well I clicked show terrain but it didn't work on my google earth view so do you know how to solve that problem??
Everything seems so clear and easy, but impose grid just does not work at all for me sadly :/ even with the simplest of shapes. Maybe something wrong with my plugin?
can this work for a terrain and put it on top the sidewalks and roads? cause it dosent work that example for me
the multiple offset plugin is not visible..please help
Wow cool
Glad you liked it!
You could easily make this same thing with the follow me. It never hurts to download an extra plugin for Sketchup
I'm making a realistic model of a tree. I am building a tree house in it.
This would be great for placing bark on a branch. I will try it.
Hi Justin, How do I access the extrusion tools?
very nice.....thanks....ok
Thanks very much!
my flowify grid is not appearing even I grouped everyting perfectly. can you help please?
i din't know whether is my geometry too complex or me making mistake. When i tap the "impose grid" button, it just wont create grid. However, when i try something simpler, it works properly...Really need some help here
(Plus, it would be great if you can add some limitation and disadvantage on each of the plugins, it could really help beginners like us to choose the right plugins!!) Thanks!
Does your more complex piece of geometry have 4 corners? Are you sure you have your grouping set up right? 99% of the time when this extension doesn't impose a grid, it seems to be because the groups aren't set up properly, but if your object doesn't have 4 corners, Flowify won't recognize it
Great videos... I'm working with sketchup 2018 but the surface still appears in dots after extrude edges by rail, is there a way I can generate the dots into a complete surface?
Try updating to the most recent version of extrude tools?
Thank you for the wonderful tutorials. I am trying to search and download the extension plug ins you used in the above videos : Shape Bender, Extrusion tool, mutiple offset, weld, ...railing. I managed to fin donly the welding tool by Eneroth and Chris Fuller Shape Bender. The rest have no ideas who is the developer. Too many choices pop up and i ahve difficulty to recognize which one exactly are the ones you used above. Thanks, appreciate if you could let me know. All the best =)
Malaysia,
Sharon Thean
Hi Sharon - did you try following the links in the description below the video? That should get you what you need - thanks! :)
Wow.....did not expect you to reply that fast. Thank you SO SO MUCH Justin =)
:)
I can not do something like this with the free version right?
hey Justin, sorry to disturb you, i have this shell form i would like help with, its pretty simple but i cant seem to get around it, ive searched through your tutorials but cant see anything covering what i need, its a lot like what youve shown, but little things differ, thats what is giving me problems, i dont know if i could get a tutorial on that, it would really be a blessing, i can email you a picture, it looks pretty basic but i just cant work it out...please, id appreciate it a lot.
nice video,
Thanks very much!
Can you provide more information on which extrusion extension you have downloaded? I've not finding the same one you are using in the extension warehouse. Thanks!
The link to the extension is in the notes below the video - it's in the Sketchucation warehouse, not the SketchUp warehouse. Thanks!
hi justin, do we have to pay to create account on sketchucation ?
Excuse me! Could you shear me the link below of "mutiple offset"? I couldn't find it in extension warehouse. Thanks!
I think I linked to it here - www.thesketchupessentials.com/multipleoffsets/
Hello, how are you?
I wanna know what computer's components i need to realize complex projects with good perform about SketchUp y V Ray.
Very good your videos and greets from Argentina!!!!
You will want an Intel i7 or Xeon processor and a decent graphics card (Radeon RX580 or Nvidia 1070). If you are on a tight budget look at getting an old Dell Precision T5500 and putting a Xeon x5680 processor in it (£30 from aliexpress.com shipped worlwide), or an HP z400 workstation, these are old systems but still very powerful, and can be bought for around £100-£150 or less than $200. You will want at least 8-16GB of DDR3 RAM also, those workstation PC's with the Xeon CPU's can accept ECC RAM which is much cheaper second hand than normal consumer RAM.
I create with this extention my "organic" building, but it can't do it identically. I have now a similar block to my established model. How to move a single points on the created mesh? How to modify it manually?
You could use the move tool or use sandbox tools to move it around
what if you want to adjust heights in areas of your extrusion? your shape has a vertical dip as the width of the outline narrows. Is it possible to adjust that?
At what point? I'd just adjust the height when I originally created the extrusion with extrude tools
