    This has to be one of the most useful Setchup videos I've watched so far. I'm new to 3d printing and already being somewhat familiar with Sketchup I'm using it instead of trying to learn yet another CAD program to design objects. Many thanks fo this.

    Thank you for all of the videos you post for sketchup, I've self-taught myself sketchup this last summer with the help of your videos. They're so clear and easy to understand. This skill will definitely help me in my interior design career. THANK YOU!!!

    So grateful for this tutorial, I'd been battling for hours to extrude a moulding around a rectangle and couldn't work out why one of the corners was not mitred, turns out it was because I started with the profile in the corner! Very well explained and demonstrated.

    With the SelfCAD Fallow path tool, you can extrude the same as with the SketchUp follow me tool but the same tool can also make copies along any path like an array tool, and its much easier to work with...

    Thanks for your tutorials! When I use the follow me tool like you did for for the "cup" (usng the "L" shaped profile) and look up at the object from the bottom there isn't a surface. You're looking into a hollow object. I'm using sketchup for 3d printing and need to have a bottom surface. Is there a way to make it have a surface when you use the follow me tool? Thanks.

  • @nunomota9838

    is there a way to extrude a offset lop from quad face tools? like a folow me extrude all the loop? imagine i make a window frame in the middle of the profile i make a loop and then a offset and what i want is to estrude inside the profile that loop to put the glass? mayve selecting one face an then ring it and then extrude inside? but how extrude all face to one side all the way?

    • @Thesketchupessentials
      @Thesketchupessentials  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Why wouldn't you just select the loop as your path for the follow me tool?

  • @GoodQuestionsLeadToGoodAnswers
    @GoodQuestionsLeadToGoodAnswers 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I using the SketchUp web free version. I'm trying to extrude an hollow tube exactly like you did. In my case I get the message that this is not a valid path. My path is luke a u shape, and every arcs and lines seem to be properly connected. When I triple click on one of the line, all lines and arcs that build up the path turn blue, which is a proof that Sketchup sees them as connected, right? Do you have some hints about what I'm doing wrong?
    An Update a few minutes later: After trying multiples times, the follow-up tool finally did the work. It seems to me that I modified nothing to the whole setup, except that I tried again after I wrote you. Hmmm?

  • @laszlogomze3834
    @laszlogomze3834 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This vidio is nice to see how it works WHEN it works. What I miss are the basic requirements for using it (the plane of the shape and the plane of path have to be perpendicular?) and the typical mistakes. For some reason it does not work for me (sometimes it does) and I was looking for some clues to what I did wrong. :(

    I have watched many videos on how to use the follow me tool. When I need to use it I have difficulty every time. An Example: Today I drew a square that I wanted to follow with a simple circle.
    So I draw the square and draw the circle at the end of one of the corners and use follow me and it doesn't finish the last corner. So I move the circle to the center of the line and it tells me that I can't extrude a curved object. So I move the circle outside the square and select the square and the follow me tool still it says I can't extrude a curved object. I Make one then the other then both groups and always the same result. I have no doubt that this is a great tool but when it takes me a long time to get it work every time I use, it has little value. What might be the problem?
    All of the videos that I have watched always start with the path and the object already created. Perhaps it would be useful to do a video that starts with draw the path, then draw the object. If the object is outside the path the extruded object will be larger or smaller than the path.

Thank you so much! Getting the square/rectangle to take on that shape that looks like it has molding is very cool! Being able to make those cool shapes will be fun. I need to figure out what shapes I want to create. Thank you so much!

    hi, I enjoy your tutorials. Great value.
    I'm trying to use follow me tool to make a half a gas cylinder using a half circle as the path but it doesn't seem possible in sketchup. Every time the half cylinder comes out distorted and just wrong! Can you help with this?

    • @Thesketchupessentials
      @Thesketchupessentials  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a bit hard to say without seeing it - are you using an arc drawn by the arc tool, or did you draw a circle, then cut it in half with a line? Thanks!

    • @russellmulligan6216
      @russellmulligan6216 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Justin, I drew a circle first on the horizontal plane, then cut it in half & from the centre point along the red axis formed a vertical canvas to draw a cross section of the gas cylinder then clicked on the perimeter of the half circle for a path & follow me. it forms a distortion in the middle and doesn't form to the flat plane of the half circle - (slightly angles away) I also tried clicking on the full half circle with a similar result except closed in. I also tried an arc half circle - both closed and open - with the same results. The only success I had was to use follow me on a full circle and then cut the object in half using intersecting plane but that was tedious. I'm left wondering why the follow me tool doesn't seem to function for this example??!
      Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Cheers

    Consider a Follow Me Gotchas video? I have an extensive love/hate connection to the Follow me tool. If your measurements are too small, it won’t work. Scale by 10 and try again works fine. Then there’s the point of reference that gets you. Making a sphere is easy if everything is lined up. It would be a nice addition to have a video on what happens when your second circle isn’t lined up, or centered, or perpendicular... I like your video, but it’s missing the part of what happens when it doesn’t work right.

    • @Thesketchupessentials

    Fairly good explanation.... except for one glaring omission.
    You need to provide a clear and concise explanation of the warning message “The path you have chosen does not begin or end on the extrusion cross section.”. You need to explain what it means in basic terms... not just repeat the message. You need to explain why it happens, how to avoid getting it and how to fix the problem if it happens.
    Once you do that your tutorial will be excellent.
