I've been using Sketchup for some years, mostly for wood working project, but I've recently started watching the Skill Builder videos and have learnt so many new things. Thanks guys, keep them coming
Cheers for this, I have been researching "free greyhound systems that work" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Biyandonal Unprecedented Booster - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a smashing one off guide for getting your betting onto the next level with this tipster service without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my partner got great results with it.
Well that was just excellent, I was trying to figure a way to round off a cube's corners this morning, I figured maybe I could make a sphere and somehow blend a 1/4 slice into the geometry... nope, just silly and a waste of time. I followed the steps in this video and lo and behold. Never realized you could do all these little things that help. Belated thumbs up!
i'm totally a newbie at this and it has been a little overwhelming trying to figure out what is what. i found sketch up and i'm watching these to get my feet wet, thank you for your time to make these.
Thank you Aaron. Your skill is amazing. I would love to see more posts on how to model organic complex furniture such as Vladimir Kagin sofas, "Roche Bobois Identities 4" dining chair, and furniture like this. It would be so helpful. Also, since many of us are stuck inside for the next few weeks, can you do more of these skill builders in the next few weeks. It would be great to build our skills while we have some time. Thanks!
Thanks for an amazing video, I learnt a lot but I didn't quite get the "Softening" part because our layouts are different and I don't know exactly where to get that option.
When I try to use this technique for a 60x60x100mm object I don't get the cool soap dish object. The corners stay open. When I draw it 10x bigger I do get the soap dish shape. Any idea why this is different? Is the first one just too small?
I just tried it again, and it worked fine - was a solid with 2 stray edges which repaired without problem. Obviously, I had done something wrong before; don't know what. But, as Emily Latella said, "Never mind."
When I completed this cube, it was not a solid, and, when I tested this with Solid Inspector 2, it showed as a ton of "external faces (red). Using "Fix all" erased the entire cube. Suggestions?
Nice tutorial. I have to go search for the one that explains how to pan zoom without changing tools. Its frustrating that sketchup doesn't follow the convention of right click+drag to pan.
Thank you Aaron, i ran into a small problem when rounding my corners i got odd geometry on the origin corner when i did "follow" on the opposite corner (if flipped diagonally) it is rounded on the side view and 90 deg from top view. I was thinking to take the corner that i do like and cut the 1/4 section out and rotate till i finish the cube. would that work or is their an easier way?
2:34 - building sphere method from here could be faster, I think. Thanks for showing this alternative method. I think it's great for beginners but not really practical for more professional modelling. This is a great method for an ideal world where everything is symmetrical and one of the hundreds of workaround technique that illustrates the need for a native bevel/chamfer tool. As soon as geometry is a bit more complicated than a cube everything starts to fall apart and you could spend hours to find a nano bit of broken line to make that damn rounded corner. Sorry, Aaron, I can't stop complaining about this issue.
Wouldn't it be easier if you take shape at 2:50, duplicate from center point with rotate tool 90 degree, cut the duplicated shape in half and use follow me tool for a compeleted cube without having to erase anything?
Greetings, I have a question that's irrelevant to the video subject, but thought I would ask in this manner none the less. The Android viewer app tells me that it's unavailable for my device because the app isn't current for my newer device. Is there an app for mobile file viewing that is current for new devices? BTW, my device isn't really that new. I've had it for over a year.
Here's a "rounded edge" issue that still messes with me... Create a simple 12" wide x 6" tall x 3/4" thick board. Punch a centered, rounded corner 9" wide by 3" tall "hole" down through the center of the board. Now go add a 1/4" round over to the top and bottom edges of the hole. IRL, this is an absolute piece of cake using a 1/4" round over bit in a router.
I designed a simple flat panel with some rectangular and round holes in it. Then I pushed the surface to add thickness but when I turned it over I found that it was hollow on the other side. How do I fill that second surface in to print the part? I could add another surface on the back side but then I cant erase the holes that are in the part.
This is really great! Thanks a lot for sharing. I am the absolute newee here. In following your video, I was not able to get the corners closed. The base rounds up but the corner remain open. Any advice on that? I am using the free web by the way.
Ive tried using arc to creat roundover edges to furnitures, but having problem with it, specielly when its a tapered leg with angle, not 90, the push tecnique on the arc wants to go up 90 degree, not following the angle what ever it its, 5/10/15.
I took the arc tool and before drawing and lines on the edge, clicked inside each corner and it made the arc automatically. On a 1.5" x 1.5" (38mm x 38mm) it made a 1/8" round over (~3mm). I wanted a 1/4" roundover but thought it was interesting.
This is not an actual comment on the rounded corners, but on occasion I add a dimension to a component within the component and all looks well until I close the component and then the dimension moves to a different location. What am I doing that causes this to happen?
With some complex shapes even RoundCorner can fail or produce unpredictable results. In this case I would make two copies of the solid. On one I would RoundCorner the edges until I hit the problem areas, and just leave them. Then on the second shape do RoundCorner with just the problem area, this usually works as it is not interacting with the other edges. Then you can combine the shapes with solidtools if you have SUPro, or manually intersect the shapes and clean up stray geometry.
Beautiful video, slow explanation what is very good. I have a problem, how to design a ship bow with bulbous in front. Problem is that SketchUp when using arks doesn't have an option to edit ark segment by segment and modify the angle of it (as far I know).
Anyone else have this technique not work in SU 2021? The "soapdish" geometry is different and when you start erasing edges you break the faces of the bottom of your rounded cube.
with captions got much better but I still do not know how to use the copy key/ I always use the move plus control key to make a copy/ sorry, I am quite new here

Love these "Skill Builder" posts. Thank-you

Nice to see the basics in action. Thanks Aaron
Wow, quick and simple without any hassle. Thank you very much!

Brilliant!! Always good to have backup methods as an alternative to the extensions. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing ! Relatively easy . . . Excellent tutorial.
Very informative. Highly appreciated! Thanks!
Just starting on Sketchup, thank you for the videos, easy to follow
Many thanks, I really enjoy your tutorials. They are invaluable!
Outstanding explanation -- thank you.
Incredibly helpful. Thank you very much for this clear explanation. I'd be completely lost in SketchUp without this channel.
Thanks for the help. Wanted to do this without a plugin. And your instructions are simple to do!
Thank you! Yes I like this.
You just showed me a better way to do what I was trying.
I have interests that cycle through my life. I'm back to learn more SketchUp stuff
Welcome back!
Make a rounded square, copy and rotate, Follow Me, hide all the funky geometry. Just like a sphere!
As usual great instructional video. It does beg the question WHY After all these years has sketch up not introduced a native bevel tool?
super helpful! thank you!

sbanks10023 Working on a plan for the next few weeks right now. Keep an eye on our social channels!!
Thank you so much for the really informative video!
Thanks for an amazing video, I learnt a lot but I didn't quite get the "Softening" part because our layouts are different and I don't know exactly where to get that option.
i had just start with you from bigning I don't know before SketchUp now I can make any modle
Good skill building exercise. Thank you.

I encountered the same. Thx for posting about trying it bigger. That worked for me. I tried 12mm first, then 120mm.
Great audio, thank you!
I just tried it again, and it worked fine - was a solid with 2 stray edges which repaired without problem. Obviously, I had done something wrong before; don't know what. But, as Emily Latella said, "Never mind."
Excellent! Thanks, subscribed, Ill stay tuned

How to Pan and Zoom without changing tools #sketchup #3d
Great skill to have around now that FredoCorner is paid.
i am learning alot from you
very cool

i totally agree.. and why i dislike this program so much.. make some more native tools please
Very interesting. Thank you
How do you orbit at the same time as using your mouse? I don't see the icon changing to orbit!
Wouldn't it be easier if you take shape at 2:50, duplicate from center point with rotate tool 90 degree, cut the duplicated shape in half and use follow me tool for a compeleted cube without having to erase anything?
You are awesome sir.
Great! The web version as a limited way to soften the surface...but hey, it's free! That's why i'm loving the tutorial whit native tools only, thank's
Beautiful, thank you!
What program do you have downloaded to get started I have my tab mini plugged now what

Eres el mejor .. mil gracias
Ok, that's very cool.
thanks,sir!! just find these, really help me as broke student like hella a lot, :D

Very nice. Loved the rotate copy! very fast.
What's the shortcut for the rotate copy ?
I designed a simple flat panel with some rectangular and round holes in it. Then I pushed the surface to add thickness but when I turned it over I found that it was hollow on the other side. How do I fill that second surface in to print the part? I could add another surface on the back side but then I cant erase the holes that are in the part.

nice video as always, thanks!
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOMUCH
THAT was pretty cool!
BTW, for a limited time, Fredo6's RoundCorner is FREE. It is going to become a paid extension, but is free for the moment.
This is so amazing. Sketchup is such amazing software. I wish it was a solid "like Solidworks". I hate how you cut into things, you can see inside.
Very nice, but i'm not there yet. I need to watch and practice this skill a few times to really understand the purpose of the different steps.
Very nice solutions ,,
4:28 ??? how did he create the face from nowhere? that shouldnt happen :S ??
insane trick
Well done
Ive tried using arc to creat roundover edges to furnitures, but having problem with it, specielly when its a tapered leg with angle, not 90, the push tecnique on the arc wants to go up 90 degree, not following the angle what ever it its, 5/10/15.
Unfortunately I keep getting weird geometries underneath that are not yours and upon deleting them I lose the shape itself.
I learned much. Thank you
I did it! What if I want to do some organic dados in this cube???
Dear Sketchup please introduce FILLET and CHAMFER tools 🙏
Holla! What's the modify key that you are speaking of? I got lost at the rotate part.
Just watch the status bar at the bottom of your screen. Each modifier key will be listed, depending on the active command!
This was a very useful and nice 👍
I took the arc tool and before drawing and lines on the edge, clicked inside each corner and it made the arc automatically. On a 1.5" x 1.5" (38mm x 38mm) it made a 1/8" round over (~3mm). I wanted a 1/4" roundover but thought it was interesting.
Good basics!
i'd like to see how round edges on a disk say 4" D, 1/2"h, where bottom edge is square and top edge radius.
At 4:26 you had a dish, how would you add material thickness at that point? So that is can become a dish?
This is not an actual comment on the rounded corners, but on occasion I add a dimension to a component within the component and all looks well until I close the component and then the dimension moves to a different location. What am I doing that causes this to happen?
Loved it, thank you
How did you do pan, zoom,and rotate so smooth and flexible like that? And without using the mouse?
Nicely done. You certainly have a weird way of solving issues.
But they work!
With some complex shapes even RoundCorner can fail or produce unpredictable results. In this case I would make two copies of the solid. On one I would RoundCorner the edges until I hit the problem areas, and just leave them. Then on the second shape do RoundCorner with just the problem area, this usually works as it is not interacting with the other edges.

Lawrence Cuthbert Great workflow!
Why is there still no native Bevel tool in Sketchup?
Great tutorial
Great Job !
Thank u although I have a different manual method but yours seemed easier.
Thanks a lot
Very well!!
its a cube, thanks I learn it. how about to make a square container round edges at the bottom with thickeness say 2mm thick wall. hw to do it? thanks!
can we add a rounded corner to an existing cube? That seems like a far more logical approach?
tks a lot
5:28 what do you mean by modify your key to copy?????
How did you move the camera around without pressing O for orbit?
Beautiful video, slow explanation what is very good.
I have a problem, how to design a ship bow with bulbous in front. Problem is that SketchUp when using arks doesn't have an option to edit ark segment by segment and modify the angle of it (as far I know).
Very interesting.
Great video but have you seen how easy this is on shapr3d?
Clever! Thanks a lot
amazing
Thanks man =)
This was an awesome tutorial. I followed it step by step. I'm curious how do you get such smooth orbiting and zooming are you using an extentsion?
Aaron often uses a 3D mouse in his videos.
@@SketchUp sweet thanks I'm buying one.
please to create a video on how to create a beveled effect in sketch up
Did you use a special plugin or an additional hardware for pan, zoom and orbit? It's so smooth!!
Aaron uses a 3D Mouse in his videos to create that smooth movement!
Anyone else have this technique not work in SU 2021? The "soapdish" geometry is different and when you start erasing edges you break the faces of the bottom of your rounded cube.
Thank you! Would the chamfer work the same?
Thanks great help
Perfect!!!!
with captions got much better but I still do not know how to use the copy key/ I always use the move plus control key to make a copy/ sorry, I am quite new here
