Native Weld - Skill Builder

Dive into one of the newest native features offered in SketchUp Pro 2020.2 - Native Weld - what it is, why you should use and how to do it. Use this native command now to select multiple line segments, weld automatically, and more.

Thnx Aaron. Already published two years ago, but I just discovered it now. With this video, I fully understand how 'Weld' works. This feature is also available on the WEB Go :-)

[@themrtimmyboy]

Aaron thank you for another very clear explanation. You are good!

[@edmcgugan2079]

Nice. The release notes mention toggling line inference is also a feature of 2020.2. Any possibility of being able to toggle the Gravity feature within Orbit? Sometimes in very large models removing the effect of gravity allows "just the right view". Just a suggestion.

Where is in sketchup 1980?😉

[@cavamanara]

[@jatomo]

Where is it in Sketchup Make (2017) ? :-)

[@Mattsana]

Its a new feature for the 2020.2

[@AaronMakingStuff]

-head explosion-

[@madwani]

It was there, but it went to SketchUp 20.2

[@kevincotterell3644]

Don’t be naughty

[@jw3971]

would be nice if you could set a maximum angle between edges. Then you could still select all geometry and only what's below the threshold would be welded.

Hello sir
I am mazhar shahid from tamilnadu india.
I am new to sketchup.
I dont understand why too much of extensions and vray effectuon.
My suggestion is to be complete one setup with all extension and vrayeffect.
I am waiting for your reply sir.
Take care bye.

What would happen if you welded an edge/circle in 2020.2 and opened the document in 2020.1 or lower? What would SketchUp identify it as ?
What would happen if you extruded unwelded edge 1inch, then welded and extruded further?

[@AaronMakingStuff]

John Colgan curves exist in previous versions. They would just show up as curves.

[@ColinHolgate]

To answer the second question, it would continue to extrude with the edges not softened. If you use a modifier key to make the next part of the extrusion be a fresh start (Option on Mac, Ctrl on Windows), the next section would have smoothed/softened edges.

[@RenataJensen]

I have sketchup pro 2020 how to update it?

[@JohnColgan.]

On the help menu, option to check for updates. If positive, download & install over your current version

[@redeem5966]

Where is it in 2019....😂😂😂

[@villazonefrain7111]

Lástima que no es en español.

[@ColdCanuck50]

Too bad it's not in Swahili, too.

[@mipe7755]

This video could be just 1 minute long...

[@CptSpears007]

So could all videos but you’d lose a lot of information........

[@mipe7755]

Wishy-washy information.
