Top 5 Push/Pull Tips

Everyone who uses Sketchup Knows (and often loves) the Push/Pull command. We do find that, quite often, they love it without truly understanding everything it can do! To that end, here are Aaron's Top 5 Tips for using Push/Pull in SketchUp for Desktop!

Excellent presentation. Knowing what can’t be done or unexpected behavior for a tool is just as important as what can be done with a tool.

[@rommerts]

Especially the last example and solution (where the sides of the wall are not parallel) is good to know. Thanks again Aaron for this video!

[@keggyification]

Nice video, I can't remember ever using the stratch modifier but there have definitely been occasions where I probably should have.

[@przemysawmamot4224]

the fifth example was super revealing for me. Thank you

[@garvinatorman]

thanks man, well done. That helps me out.

[@gobysky]

Can’t imagine trying to figure this stuff out on my own. Good instructional videos.

[@4STEVEJOY34]

#6 double click, It will move same amount as last time used. Sometimes you don't know what direction it will go though.

[@MonsieurNab]

I'm used to work with move + inferences locking, so I don't really use the stretch method. But I almost expected to find the double click tip to pushpull by increments. Guess it'll come back around in another video 😇

[@dmk-ki4ny]

All the problems described are quite familiar, and sometimes I couldn't understand the issue that caused them. Thanks, Aaron.

[@ParKing143]

hi sir, I'm just asking if maybe you have sometimes encounter that when double-clicking the surface (push command) it goes the opposite direction? it's like I'm expecting the other way around, imagine a 2-window opening, the first opening I push it to create a hole, then for the second window I use the double-click shortcut to repeat the process but instead it goes to make a extruded window opening and not a cut opening. thanks in advance.

[@nukebert1]

Good stuff. Thnx

[@CalvinJ82]

It is a huge time saver to be able to push/pull with modifiers and using the push/pull function instead of move function to keep the extrusion perpendicular to the face without a reference. Thanks for detailing a tool i thought i knew backwards and forwards.
How about a video strictly on modifiers for default tools. You're explanations and examples are so much better than the brief and vague modifier menu describes.
As always, thanks for your time and tips, always worth the watch, always learn something new even when i don't expect to. You guys are awesome!!

[@SketchUp]

If you check out our Square One series you will see that Aaron dives deep into each and every tool, including every modifier! th-cam.com/video/kPuAmFkRzms/w-d-xo.html

[@CalvinJ82]

@SketchUp Fantastic, i will go back over that list again. Thank you for letting me know.

[@sandymcdaniel4107]

It always happens when I used Toggle Create New Starting Face and I want to go up, the new face goes down. What am I doing wrong? Does it have to do with camera position?

[@monseigneur6365]

Thank you

[@Chemike21]

This is perfect you mentioned exactly what I needed, but left out the MOST IMPORTANT PART. What IS the modifier KEY??????? To create new face? You say to press it, but what do you press???????????????????
I'm using an online version of sketchup, and it has no info at the bottom.....

[@SketchUp]

Modifier keys are different depending on your operating system. The status bar is at the bottom of every version of SketchUp (Desktop or Web). That will display which keys do what. If you are not seeing this bar, it is likely that your window is off the edge of your monitor, you may try maximizing to see if that helps.

[@user-mi4ik1xx8y]

thank you bro.

[@GlobalistGazette]

Good video. I like this

[@OveToranger]

Useful (as usual).....

[@islandjason]

thanks

[@mohammedqadir6187]

very good

[@JCCMCM]

Add double click effect... it push or pull a surface with the last measure used

[@guybrown6123]

Hi. How are you orbiting and panning without mouse moving? Do you use left hand on a second mouse or something?

[@SketchUp]

Yes, that's right! Aaron uses a 3D mouse. Check out this video with more detail: th-cam.com/video/p2yvhY3JULw/w-d-xo.html

[@user-tf3gk5ub4k]

Really useful. I been using sketchup for a while but still having trouble with exporting the model to layout. Normally I would export them to Autocad which I think much easier to prepare for printing. If you could, please make a guide on that matter with sketchup layout. 🙏🤧

[@PR-WoodWorkingCreations]

What issue are you facing with layout??

[@edgespace3777]

12:20 Styles - edit - collor - by axis

[@nigelmendonca]

When I draw a rectangle the back or grey face is on the top .how can I change this to get the front or white face is on top by DEFAULT?

[@SketchUp]

Newer versions of SketchUp do this by default. it's possible an upgrade will solve this issue for you.

[@markvanoosterhout5074]

I really would like to be able to push/pull not perpendicular to the face, like pulling a chimney out of a pitched roof.... That possible?

[@SketchUp]

Do you mean pulling perpendicular to the ground, rather than the face? Push/pull will always pull normal to the existing face. If you want to pul parallel to an axis, you would have to use an extension.

[@victoriahortus]

Top 5 thats where its at

[@dixcreative]

MULTIPLE faces please
