If this was a college course, I'd being getting an A since your such an instructor who can take difficult things and make them look simple and easy. Thanks
Jeff, the Trim tool is indeed a great way to cut mortises to match tenons and for other joinery like dovetails and box joints. Keep in mind, if you use components like I do, the Solid Tools will convert components they modify into groups. Instead of the native Solid Tools, I use Eneroth Solid Tools because they respect the components.
Dave Richards - Thanks Dave for the heads-up and tip. I do use components a lot and who knows how many hours I would have floundered around before I figured it out.
Best. Solids. Tutorial. E V E R. Thank you! Also, I really like the “green screening” at start and end so I get more real estate dedicated to the tutorial (instead of split with you on video).
Ah so basically, the intersect and split is a similar principal to the subtract and trim. One takes away and one leaves the pieces. Thanks for this learned a lot
Hi Aaron great tutorial. Thank you! After purchasing the SketchUp Go license I can use all the functionalities of solid tools. This tutorial gives a good explanation about this. Top!
Aaron, If I have an internal surface that I need. I created them by pressing the ctrl key when extruding a cylindrical solid and then grouping them. It would not treat that as a solid. Is there a workaround to this?
Oh, quick one. Outer shell is better for 3d printing? And next question will be, when solid element looses it. When I work with model to be printed is best to keep it simple, solid. But is not the same with bit more complex ones. Is there a tool to correct it, or check where something is wrong?
Solid Tools are so powerful to create objects. That means we should have more native tools to build solid objects. I guess curvy organic objects will be so useful when used with Solid Tools.
First, use the plugin solid inspector. Then fix the shortcomings that he will indicate manually if in automatic mode the plugin cannot fix it. Check the object again, to be sure, look at the "object data" tab - the volume should be reflected there (for example, in cubic millimeters). And now you can use the solid tool! ;)
You have the most comforting narrating voice i've ever heard.
You should teach stuff on youtube dude.
You can not imagine (Author), what you have done to my life with this video ))))))

Great to have this video to refresh the memory before using solid tools in the future...
Marc Ellis Ah yes... the... future!
@@AaronMakingStuff in case of... futureama's...!
Thank you - never used solid tools before. Cutting mortises to match tenons in my woodworking plans just got way easier.

I wish I could like this twice as thats how many times I have watched.

thankyou was battling the whole day but you sorted me out in a couple of minutes
Thank you so much! Very informative and easy to understand! God bless you!
Great stuff Aaron! I never really knew much about solid tools but soooo do now 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is exactly the explanation I needed! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! ^^

Dave Colburn Thanks Dave! And the green screen looks way better than the wall of my garage!

Beautiful, concise lesson of the differences. Thank you.
Great vid. Excellent examples and perfect delivery.

Helped me in so many ways thank you so much...

Thanks
It's a best channel in the world! ))))) in the Universe.
Great stuff
Thanks I have learned a lot. Very objetctive . Now i can use these tools and be more productive : ) happy person here !!
Good clear description of the tools
thanks guys! I really need to use solid tools more. Cheers
Your a good teacher , Aaron 😎
well done.... very helpful and clear...
clear explanation, thx
That was very useful. It cleared up a lot of questions I had.
Aaron, If I have an internal surface that I need. I created them by pressing the ctrl key when extruding a cylindrical solid and then grouping them. It would not treat that as a solid. Is there a workaround to this?
Thanks Aaron
Thank you!
Thanks. Very Nicely explained
Thank Aaron. Any chance you show the use of these in site works for a building and sloping retainer wall on a sloping house site?
In the case of the pins in the plate, make all the pins a group, then subtract them from the plate.
very easy explanation
Awesome! Thanks!
Thank you, Sir
thanks for the clear explanation
Muchas gracias!
man you made my day......
To cut 4 holes all together, you may Select 4 cylinders -> Outer shell -> subtract
Oh, quick one.
Outer shell is better for 3d printing?
And next question will be, when solid element looses it.
When I work with model to be printed is best to keep it simple, solid. But is not the same with bit more complex ones.
Is there a tool to correct it, or check where something is wrong?
Any way I can get this file, so I can use these videos with my class?
Thank You
nice tutorial

thanks iam learning
Solid vid
I wish I knew years ago. Thanks much.
Left hand thread? ;)
Amazing...
Thank you for the clarification, but I have a question how to convert from groups to solid so that we can use these tools
First, use the plugin solid inspector. Then fix the shortcomings that he will indicate manually if in automatic mode the plugin cannot fix it. Check the object again, to be sure, look at the "object data" tab - the volume should be reflected there (for example, in cubic millimeters). And now you can use the solid tool! ;)
Check out last weeks video... that was a solid lesson (ha!)
No solid tools on Sketchup Ipad?
That peanut butter cup wrapper looks like a tricky shape to make. I’m not sure how to approach it.
CHecl out this video right here... th-cam.com/video/hns23HDZpMw/w-d-xo.html
How to make multi hole with solid tool , like make a windows and Doors hole in building
wahyudi ST Hmmm... maybe next week’s video?
We use solid modelling in sketch up rather making group, we never use group
The word you're looking for is "united". Great video though!
