2 MUST HAVE Extensions for 3D Printing with SketchUp

[@raulc.]

Please do more SketchUp for 3D printing videos. I do a lot of 3D printing, mostly practical things for my home and shop, and all I use is SketchUp for my 3D modeling software.

Just Use Fusion

Sometimes with complex solids which are not "solid", when I use Solid Inspector to help with or fix issues, it says "No errors. Everything is shiny" but SU Entity Info still does not show a volume. If this happens, I ungroup and regroup the object and that usually fixes things. Also be aware that running CleanUp on large groups with thousands of faces can take a LONG time and can cause SketchUp to crash.

Yes, this works. I do this method often.

Nice demo Tyson. I use Solid Inspector but usually when I have issues so good to see how it can be integrated in my workflow. Also I hadn't come across the Clean up extension so will be sure to install that as well.

The macOS version of SketchUp really needs to dock all those windows like they do on the PC. The Material window is the worst.
