Hi everyone! Let me know if you have questions about anything we talked about in the comments below! :)

[@nickyking2577]

Oh you have saved me soooo much time! I've been making tiled floors the hard way. Thank you 🤗

[@yt_bharat]

This looks amazing, you are a very hard working creator, really appreciate the content

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad you enjoy it!

Fantastic video. Loved the comment on how viewers are saying the structure integrity of the deck is not correct. Of course not. You are showing us how to model, not engineer lol.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Lol - that was my response as well - if you’re building a deck based on my design, you’re in bad shape 🤣

Hi, Can you please make a tutorial on How to create a Dryer Ribbed Hose? Thank you.

[@user-yi8yd1bt6w]

you are doing a great job and I am proud of the knowledge you have. Just wanted to ask if you could direct us toward some FREE to download extensions. I am a new user of SketchUp and I learned most from your videos. Would be a great help to the community if we can find some tools to make life easier. Thanks and keep it up :)

I think everything in this video is free. Might try this - The Top 75 FREE Extensions for SketchUp! (Updated for 2024!)

7:17 Really? Why didn't you use the Floor Generator plugin. It's easier and faster. =P

Because the author took it down and stopped supporting it?
