I just came across this video. It's perfect for a project I'm cutting on the cnc. I modeled an adjustable wrench (crescent wrench) and need to cut it in two halves to mill the sliding jaw barrel and thimble pivot pin grooves out. Once done I'll glue the parts back together. Thanks, Aaron. good video.
Much better alternative to Solid Tools, thank you. Most common need for splitting in half, is working on symmetrical items. The initial concept is often built whole, then split once more tedious work begins (later to be mirrored, saving a lot of time/errors).
After you slice the model and once you select it, while it is selected and before you use the move tool with the copy modifier, you can make it a group. Then moving it to another location is easier because it is not attached to the other half. And the other half would be real easy to select because it is all by itself - kinda like me...😟
Couldn't have been more timely. I was just about to email you and ask if you had anything on this topic because it is something I need to do right now. Thank you Aaron.
Nice one. Anyone teetering on the edge of shelling out for the Artisan extension set might be persuaded on the basis that it has a cutting tool called ‘knife’ I think. I call it sword because that’s what it looks like to me but I’m a rebel, Dotty, a loner…
REQUEST::::can you cut a pipe/tube at the seam and unwrap and lay flat? i would like to ultimatly print it out at a 1:1 scale to trace on an actual pipe.

What's the command on Windows? Ctrl / alt / ctrl+alt don't work with the Move tool selected, I've tried to slice it in the same place twice and it's not cutting properly and it's only letting me stretch the model.

Thanks a lot, Aaron. I'm learning SketchUp and now I've got a new skill :)

Brilliant! - that solved my issue...
Thanks Aaron, another new SketchUp skill.
Never thought of that method. Thanks.
Thanks, i learn a lot. i'm SketchUp user from Philippines Bicol

Thanks Aaron, poor Grogu though, looks like he's been sliced with a lightsaber. 😆

Thanks Aaron! I now better undrestant the intersect with model command 🥳
A great tutorial it is...hmmmm 😏. Thanks Aaron. I've recently bought a couple 3D printers so this is going to come in handy. Cheers.
A plugin called "Zorro" works like a champ.
Thanks! That's what I was searching for! Good teacher!
I love how in the beginning of the video it looked like Aaron has Yoda ears. On purpose perhaps 🤔?
That would be very handy to remove a tiny-bit off the bottom of a cockeyed part for 3D printing. Thanks.

Cutting plane AKA lightsaber
Very helpful, thank you!
So helpful. Thank you so much. Great Job.
thanks!
SketchUp had a LaserSabre mode that he modelled few weeks ago
What's the command on Windows? Ctrl / alt / ctrl+alt don't work with the Move tool selected, I've tried to slice it in the same place twice and it's not cutting properly and it's only letting me stretch the model.
Helpful!
thanks again sir...
Can this be done on the free version or pro only?
After this I'm off to learn the section tools.
I can intesect the Faces but I cant select them seperatly
tried this many times with SU pro v23.1 2023 does not work....not sure why
Perfect!
Thanks. Always forget how to do this
How is the camera so smooth when panning?
Space mouse by 3D Connexion
@@SketchUp Thank you! I love it, it's like using a game controller.
Aaron, did you ever live in Lafayette, IN?
Dude...that's got to be you. Harrison high school? West Side?
how do i simply cut a portion of a 3d object?
THANK
why it's not working on me
Finally...
Oh noo baby yoda :'(
