Best jedi master sketchup teacher in the whole universe. Thank you! Signed, a poor padawan :)))

[@ricardoalberti2207]

Excellent, I admire the perfection, it looks so easy when a master does it but to me it's a real headache. Thank you very much for your videos

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thank you very much!

[@shaunxthexmod777]

thank you.. I'm still on an old version, of SketchUp, and it works a big thanks,,

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Good morning everyone! What uses can you think of for this extension? :)

[@Deontjie]

I am sure car manufacturer can use this to apply their name on the bonnet of their cars. Maybe even Katanka cars.

[@4STEVEJOY34]

I am doing to TRY and use it to apply 'recessed' grapevine pattern to a vase like shape. Will it do indentation? Will it do shapes that are not text? Is there a better way to do this? Love your work. Thanks

[@emilnegrea9796]

Hello, nice work. Can you make from this a solid piece. The S shape to be few inch thick and use slice tool on it … with text like it is. To make it wall parametric design. Thank you

[@jasonmare33]

[@VTVICTO]

thank you. super helpful.

[@AncientNightMareKing]

even tho this is 5 years old and the new version of sketchup is not easy as im relearn everything again like the Flip mirror was right click now it this stupid colour this witch dos not work. flipping it into the model it self and when i move it the other half move it not easy. What you did with the sphere is that the only way on sketchup or is the another way.

[@annazebua5605]

Nice tut 👍👍👌

[@Thesketchupessentials]

👍👍😎

[@gregorexan]

Thank you for this tutorial, nice explanation, just one question, can I add automatically objects definition for CNC work

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't know what you mean by objects definition for CNC work

[@gregorexan]

@@Thesketchupessentials I have modeled a parametric chair with sketchup and I flattened all the parts, just missing how to number the parts or write their reference number which is on they definitions with an automatic way (like Slicer do), thanks in advance.

[@MrCPPG]

Very cool!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

:)

[@worldoffence2809]

great but how to do the same with a shape which is not symetrical like a human head. something like flowify but with an object that is not a grid ?

[@mukundraipatel8334]

Justin, Thank you for your continuing enlightenment on Sketchup 7 your dedication to our sport. I'm going to Patreon next.

[@leorickmission9833]

Hi Do you have 2021 version?

[@orac229]

Very useful

[@c2architect523]

nice video, big help..

[@JoseMaria-ng1qp]

Thaaaaank you soooooooooooooooo much!

[@AnishKrish]

thank you bro

[@goldbunny1973]

May You Live Forever, this was exactly what I've wanted to learn : ) Quick thought - can you indent a sphere or other flat/curved shape with 3D Letters, creating something like a personalised golfball??

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Possibly - would probably be pretty complicated though

[@rajangaikwad4160]

GOT IT NOW THE FLOWIFY COMMAND

[@rajangaikwad4160]

hi when i create the group , after selecting flowify my text does not align on curve surface. please help in this

[@IaEnstera]

Both Weld and Flowify are currently not compatible with the newest version of SketchUp. Have any other workable solutions?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

In the latest version SketchUp has a built in weld tool, so you don't need an extension for that anymore. Flowify is working fine in my 2022 version

[@ForeverHisGlory]

Is there a similar plugin that's compatible with M1 macs?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

No clue

[@Erwin150857]

Nice!!

[@kinlii8544]

👌👌👌👌👌😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘really helpful videos

[@kevinfelix2543]

is it possible to bend text around a circular ring l

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Assuming you can get the circular ring to read as a 4 sided shape, sure

[@casual257]

can you project text?

[@myanmarmyanmar3203]

in Sktup 2022 It is Not worked. Why?

[@johnclydegallo1346]

how to download the flowify? Thanks :)

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Is it not linked below the video?

[@hungcan817]

Thanhks a lot, I'm a vietnamese, I can read instructor, watch your action but i can't listen your voice. Every thing happen very fast, Please slowly , step by step.

[@w.binder-freecadchannel]

Great! ;-)

[@arshpunjabi8577]

NOT HAPPENING.

[@andrijana1234]

it crashed xD

[@RhoIotaKappa]

*Sigh* Yet another add-on app. Does Sketchup ever do anything itself?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

...yes?
