As many of you know, Artisan is a subdivision extension for SketchUp, that takes geometry and subdivides it to create smoother organic shapes in your model. While primarily used for organic modeling, it has a series of other tools like sculpt and split that have many uses for modeling in SketchUp as well.

In this video, learn to model a basic house in SketchUp with the push pull and offset tools!
♦SUPPORT ME♦ http://www.thesketchupessentials.com/...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To start, we’re going to draw the footprint of our house. If it’s a rectangle, you can just activate the rectangle tool by tapping the “R” key, then typing in the measurements of your house and hitting the enter key.
Now that we have the footprint of our house drawn, we’re going to use the push-pull tool to extrude our house into 3D. To do this, activate the push pull tool by tapping the “P” key, click once on the face of your house, then type in the height you’d like to see and hit the enter key. This will extrude your house at the height you entered.
Now that we have our house shape, we’re going to add slope to our roof. Probably the simplest way is to find the midpoint of your house, then use the line tool to draw a line up 3’. Once you’ve drawn your line up, you can draw lines to the two corners to create a face, then erase your center line so that the face you created is one uniform face. Then, use the push-pull tool to extrude this face to the back side of your house.
Remember that you can use inferencing as you do this to quickly draw this new shape to the back side of your house. You can click anywhere on the back side to do this.
Now what we’re going to do is use the offset tool to draw our eave. Remember, the offset tool will draw a series of lines based on the lines around the perimeter of a face. Activate the offset tool, click on your face, then type in a distance, like 6”, and hit the enter key. Now clean up the new face that was created, then push pull it so that you have a 12” overhang on one side, then extrude it back the other way so you have a 12” overhang on the other side.
Now, let’s add a door and a window. To do this, we’re going to use the rectangle tool to draw our door, then use the offset tool to create some trim. You can start by using the rectangle tool to draw your door – in this case, draw a rectangle that’s 3’ wide x 8’ high. Now, use the offset tool to draw 3” of trim. You can push-pull this trim 3” or so to give your trim some detailing.
Let’s do the same thing with our window – draw a window on the wall to the dimensions you’d like, then use the offset and push-pull tools to create your trim.
The other thing we can do now is create a chimney. To do this, I’m going to start by drawing one lrine right off our roof along the green axis. Once you’ve done this, you can use the rectangle tool to draw a rectangle the size of our chimney. From here, you can either extrude this rectangle down using the push-pull tool, or you can just manually draw in lines along the blue axis that intersect with your roof to fill in the faces. This is probably a cleaner solution.
Finally, if you want to, you can come in and add materials to your house using the materials section in your tray. This is quite easy – just click on the material you’d like, then click on the face you’d like to color in order to apply the material.
One thing I’m going to do really quick is add a wainscot to our model. To do this, all I’m going to do is use the move tool in copy mode to copy the lines around the base of our model up about 3’0”. Simple double click on the face on the bottom to select the perimeter, deselect the face by “Shift Clicking,” and use the move tool in copy mode to move the perimeter lines up about 3’0”. You can push pull it slightly to give it a little depth, then apply a brick material. You could even model a small cap in here if you wanted to.

There are a couple different extensions you can use to create tensile structure designs – I’d recommend having them both on your computer. The first is Curviloft by Fredo6, and the second is Soap Skin and Bubble. They work a little differently, and sometimes you can get different results by trying each one of them.
What I’ve found when working with these structures is that it’s best to start by drawing the area on the ground that you’re trying to cover. Then you can develop a framework and use these extensions to develop a skin over the framework.
The best way to do this is to think about your structure as if you’re actually building it – you can draw lines as if they’re supports, then draw arcs between them to develop your frameworks.
Sometimes it’s best to generate the entire framework all at once, and sometimes it’s better to generate one part of the framework, then use the rotate tool to generate the rest of it.
Don’t be afraid to draw a flat surface to draw your arcs on.

In this video, I’m going to talk a little bit about modeling from a reference image or a reference plan. This can be especially useful when you’re trying to recreate plans and layouts from old drawings, sketches, or other images. This is an excellent workflow for generating a 3D model from a 2D plan.
This is a great way for an architect to bring conceptual versions of buildings into their models as well.
In this case, I’m going bring in an old plan that I found on the internet by importing it as an image, by going up to the file, import menu option.
Place the image by clicking once to set a base point, then a second time to finalize placement.
Once you’ve set your image, you’re going to want to set the proper scale. You can do this by using the tape measure tool. Use the tool to measure the distance between two set points, then type in a new distance and hit the enter key to re-size your model.
Once you’ve got your model scaled, you can do a couple different things.
First of all, if you want to, you can just model on top of your image. Anything you draw will now be to scale, since you resized your image to be to scale.
You can use this to just set a floor plan and extrude it to 3D if you want, or you can break the image up into a couple different groups. Once you do this, you can use the images to model the exterior of the building.
One of the other benefits to doing this this way is that you can actually use the images as textures in your model. This can be beneficial for helping you place things like windows and textures on your image, or you can also use it as your final, complete model.

1. Soap skin and bubble –
a. This extension allows you to create a skin across various edges. This is great for creating organic type shapes. It allows you to create a skin, as well as adjust the “pressure” in the skin allowing for greatly customizable shapes.
2. Round Corner –
a. This extension allows you to round the edges of 3D shapes. There are several different options for this, including rounding your edges and beveling your edges.
3. FredoScale –
a. This extension allows you to geometrically transform your objects in a number of ways, including scaling, twisting, bending, and rotating. I’ve probably used the radial bend tool from FredoScale in more tutorials than just about any other extensions’ tool.
4. Joint Push Pull –
a. SketchUp doesn’t come built in with the ability to push pull curved surfaces. This extension changes that, allowing you to not only push pull curved surfaces, but also to push pull multiple faces at once!
5. Curviloft –
a. This extension is designed to create skins using contours. It will create faces between multiple geometric shapes, as well as the skinning option allows the creation of skins across multiple lines.
6. Shape Bender –
a. This extension bends shapes along curves, allowing you to create interesting variations of shapes
7. Helix Along Curve –
a. SketchUp comes built in with several arc tools, but none of them are very good at drawing curves that arc along both vertical and horizontal directions at once. This tool allows both the creation of arc lines, but also tubes along a helix.
8. Selection Toys –
a. Trying to select and de-select complex geometry can be frustrating. However, with this extension, you can have much greater control over your selections, allowing you to do things like select only faces, or select only lines, or many other selection options.
9. Flowify –
a. This extension allows you to deform objects along a given shape. This extension has a slightly high learning curve, and an unforgiving workflow, but when it works, it allows for the creation of fantastic new shapes.
10. Pipe Along Path/Lines to Tubes
a. These 2 extensions are designed for creating tubes and paths around lines. Pipe along path is great for creating pipes with linear paths, while lines to tubes will create tubes around every selected line segment, but it won’t be as continuous. Using these interchangeably will allow you great control over the tubes you create.

This video will introduce new users to Sketchup to the basics of modeling. Learn the basics of the way that tools, faces, and extrusions work.

♦SUPPORT ME♦ http://www.thesketchupessentials.com/...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This video will introduce new users to Sketchup to the basics of modeling.
We’ll start off with a quick orientation to your workspace.
The menu bar contains links to just about everything, from opening and saving models, to drawing and camera tools. You can manage most everything from the menu bar.
Your toolbars contain quick links to most of your drawing tools, as well as any extensions you have loaded. Extensions are add-ons you install in SketchUp to expand its functionality.
The tray contains different sections for adjusting the way your model looks, as well as some sections that contain some information about your objects.
The status bar contains instructions for using the currently active tool, as well as the measurements box, which will tell you things like lengths and other information about that tool.
Finally, the workspace is where you actually draw your models.
We’re going to start off by noting that SketchUp is a face modeler, meaning that SketchUp draws a face any time you have 3 or more intersecting co-planar lines.
All of your tools in SketchUp allow different inputs.
For example, if you activate the line tool, you can see how there is an instruction in the status bar telling you to select your start point. Once you select your start point (the point where you want to start your line), you can pick a second point to draw a line between those two points. You can do this either by clicking a second time, or by moving your mouse in the direction you’d like your line to go and typing a length, then hitting the enter key.
Some tools in SketchUp draw full faces at once. For example, if you select the rectangle tool, you can click once to set your first point, then click again to set a second, and SketchUp will draw the perimeter of a shape and fill it in. You can see how in the corner in this tool, it has 2 inputs – length and width. To create a precise rectangle, you’d simply type in one length, then a comma, then the other length.
Now let’s look at extruding our object.
There’s a tool called the push/pull tool that will extrude a flat object to 3D quickly.
Simply activate the tool, click once on a face, then click again to extrude it to 3D. You can see how this creates a 3D box very quickly.
You can also use the push pull tool to cut holes and remove material. For example, if I draw a circle on this face, then push pull it, you can see how it cuts a circular hole through the box.
In the same way, if I draw an arc along the edge of this box, I can push pull the resulting face to remove material from my box.
It’s worth noting that this won’t work on curved faces. Here’s why.
If you go up to the view window, and check the box for hidden geometry, you can see that curved faces aren’t actually curved in SketchUp – instead, they’re made up of a series of segmented flat faces – this means that when you try to extrude a curved face, you’re actually trying to extrude multiple flat faces at once, which SketchUp won’t do (unless you download an extension).
That’s where we’re going to wrap up part one. In the next video, we’re going to talk about using these tools to model your first house.

Short Intro
This week’s extension allows you to quickly create lattices in SketchUp!
Plugin Name: Lattice Maker
Plugin Developer: Tig
How Much does it cost? Free! (Please donate to your developer – link at the download page)
Where do you get it?
You can download it from the SketchUcation store by searching for “Lattice maker,” or by clicking the link in the notes below.
Tool Functions
This tool is designed to take a series of faces and offset and extrude them to create a lattice.
Basically, the way it works, is you select an object, go to the menu above and select “Lattice Maker.”
The tool contains several different options. You can select the width of the offset on the face, as well as the depth of the extrusion.
In addition, the extension allows you to keep a face in the middle of your extrusion if you’d like. It allows you to set how face this “pane” is inset, as well as the thickness of the pane created.
You can also set the material of the pane that’s created, allowing for some interesting glass shapes.
It doesn’t matter if geometry is hidden or not, the extension will take the individual faces of an object and offset them, so you have to be careful how you model an object sometimes to get the result you’re looking for.
With some creativity, you can create some really interesting shapes quickly using this extension!
That’s where we’re going to wrap up this plugin overview. If you liked this video, click that like button down below. If you’re new, click that subscribe button for more SketchUp videos every week.
As always, leave a comment below and let me know if you’re using this tool and how.
