We worked on a Nike skate event a while back so got to watch pro builders making some really elaborate ramps. When they had a couple of pallets of 3/8” birch ply delivered we thought they’d never get them to follow the formers but with a few kerf cuts and a whole lot of whacking with rubber mallets they got it all done. It was really impressive!
Very important to understand how materials work in the real world. Just for reference, plywood is very malleable in the short direction (Bend perpendicular to the 4' length vs 8' length). For curved walls, ramps, roofs etc. you can specify 2 or more layers of 1/4" plywood with staggered joints to get proper bends and continuous curves at plywood joints. I won't even begin to touch on the ramp design, as I understand this is a tutorial for profile extrusions, but a quick google search would have benefited this example for those looking to understand how curved construction is actually framed.
this is awesome, my company we build ramps and rails for ski and snowboarders, freestyle moto guys and all sorts, this video was awesome i always struggled trying to find dimensions to sheet ramps, bowl corners or concentric curved moto ramps. thanks alot for your hard work.
This is a great video on the thought process of building. That is something only experience can teach. Thanks for sharing. I would have used a side profile follow me and overlooked a simple horizontal extrude. Still learning to keep it simple is always best. If i get stuck, simply turning a model on it's side sometimes help give me ideas on the next process of building.
As a concept, it's brilliant! So an easy way to make a pretty complex surface or object. Thanks a lot, Aaron, for helping me to build my SketchUp skills step by step with best practices! Love your videos )
You just got my like! I literally downloaded this the other day to use the ar scan of my garage to build a mini ramp and couldn’t figure it out at all lol I should be finished with the ramp tonight tho just in time for Christmas!
Questions : With a changing arch curve 2:27 , you will have different sized flat surfaces. When you apply material (brick) it will come out very distorted in Sketchup & any render software (I use D5) even when smoothing. AND to avoid seeing flat surfaces in an arch when rendered, I typically click on Entities and ramp up the segments which means a LOT of surfaces. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks 👍. I almost every time model from a facing plane, that arched 1x2 would have been made from a left facing plane . Glad to know I'm doing it like you did it. Lol
Thanks Aaron, nice video information yet again. Always good to see how you think about problem solving. Have a great festive season and best wishes for the New Year.
Well, no. that ramp si really bad.. even if the drawing tecnique is spot on (I always use the same tecnique to actually draw and build skate ramps). First off, the arc SHOULD BE an arc, not some fancy curve. Then there's a bit of vert in a ramp which should'nt reach vert at all (waaay to low). Then he did'nt left the space needed for the coping. And the general structure is bad (that would be a weak ramp). But who cares, after all he said he was just demonstrating the (clever) tecnique and NOT his ramp design skill.
@@marcellopaniccia3d741 I was joking. Aaron said at the beginning he knew it wasn’t exactly a great ramp design and asked viewers not to criticize it. So I did the opposite…in jest.
@@kenhaley4 well, his design is actually 100 times more belivable than most of the "specific" tutorials you can find on youtube.. =D like this one th-cam.com/video/tyF4eB7ZA6w/w-d-xo.html
This would be really cool if they brought out sketchup make 2022, but I do understand that charging £235-£549 a year is much better for profits but ends non-professionals using it completely.
Are but this is how you would do it in the real world you're gonna need to know your material quantities required before you start making cutting bending fixing. Cool ramp needs a bit of work though.. ha ha Ta

I like the way you teach, direct and not to much

Simple yet (very) elegant. Takes into account different sizes of material and unusual angles....
Thank you Aaron - this was VERY helpful !

thanks for the videos, I want to see more about "Layout", define dimensions, manipulate large files with a lot of geometry, albums, etc.
I didn't realise you could offset an individual line in SU. I've only managed to do it with faces before. Thanks, Aaron!

Hello guys
Thanks Aaron for the videos
GOD bless your team
Thanks Aaron, nice video information yet again. Always good to see how you think about problem solving. Have a great festive season and best wishes for the New Year.
Cool native skills, btw how do you rotate the view angle without the orbit tool?
I just wanted to say... "That's a fantastic skate ramp design!". ;)

Brilliant as always.
Take it another step to be useful. Pull it off the main ramp then flatten it. That will give you all the plywood in planform making an easy cutfile.
I didn't learn anything new, but nice to see ;-)
Thank's for this one.
how can you cut a horizontal hole on that board, let say the thickness of that board is 18mm.thank you for your answer
This would be really cool if they brought out sketchup make 2022, but I do understand that charging £235-£549 a year is much better for profits but ends non-professionals using it completely.
Thank you for this video, Aaron. Really helpful. I noticed you didn't save... ;)
Nice information about building skate ramps can you build a complete skatepark one day sow we can see how you can create for. a modeling
very good job...
احسنت لقد تعلمت منك طريقة جديدة ومميزة
