[@ArnfinnRian]

Incredibly helpful. I know a lot of skeptchup but the sandbox has been one I haven't looked into much. Now Im gonna have to lol. Thanx!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks! Glad it helped!

[@catallaxy]

Love the videos you do. I never thought you could use the sandbox tools to create sophisticated steel structures with double curved surfaces. Brilliant! Thank you.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I probably need to do another video like this - haven't done one in a while - thanks!

[@kristinapeneva7367]

thank you so much! the explanation was very good and makes me motivated to explore more the options in sketchup.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

[@nataliakarolinapawowska110]

This was super helpful, thank you!

[@bappyrahman2006]

Thanks a lot. I have learned many things. If you show us how to do the tube without extensions it would be great.

[@LuxBacelo]

Never used the sandbox before. It reminds me The Sims 1 terrain editor, haha. Very good explanation!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

It's a good one!

[@AndrewFroude]

Well done. Thanks for sharing. This is a great help as I am looking to create realistic landscape design models to show clients the proposed plan and/or options.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks - really glad you liked it! :)

[@chiazokaibe1539]

[@samsonseah74]

hi lines to tube is a paid extension right

[@yelchurushanti9664]

This was great, my school taught me nothing when compared to your KZbin channel sir❤

[@Chris-ri8xw]

Thank you so much for your lessons. I do have a question if it is possible to import a data file of x,y,z points into sandbox and have it create the surface from that. Basically if I had an output file from transit.

[@Trendy1001]

Thank you!!! I'm crying right now cuz I wasted so much time in making an organic roof myself, like each freaking segment of it xD

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Well now you know a better way! :)

[@tbro4140]

i love this canopy but how would you build the shape that it would fit against?

[@Tony-iz5xc]

Great!

[@darleneposas3818]

wow. thankyouu this is very helpful., love it

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@tbro4140]

How do you finish the shape? attach it to a hull or fuselage of a similar shape?

[@halimahhamid7175]

can we create structures on complex topography created by the sandbox tool ?

[@mochtomydamastha1103]

very helpful thanks dude

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks for watching!

[@faresjawad3096]

very smart , can u make a thickness to the glass ?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I'm not 100% sure. If I was to try, I'd use an extension like Joint Push Pull to give the surface depth, but I'm not sure how well it would work - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHiwqqOLha2tgdU - Thanks for watching!

[@noonsalahal-deenelhilu2893]

yeah thanks that was really useful

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks very much!

[@nancyk9062]

hi , it was really helpfull , can i have your all sketch up tutorials.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't understand the question - anything on KZbin is there to watch

[@engineering3845]

you are a great man really thank you

[@ديناالعامورى]

You are really talented 😍😍😍

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks very much :)

[@jenniferjove8577]

Very helpful :D Thank you!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad you liked it - thanks for watching!

[@mariebadenhorst79]

I need to know how to create a flat bottom when creating a mound in a landscaping model

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I'd use joint push pull kind of like I do in this video, but without the object slicing - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4HbnWOmn7SejZI

[@DBB_THREESIAAGUSTINA]

Hi I want to ask. The shape of my building for the final project is more or less like this, and now I want to make a diorama / scale model. Is there a tool in Sketch-Up that breaks down organic shapes like that into something 2D? Anyway thanks for your videos, they really helped me.

[@jinglebell9107]

I think this also work in sofa cushion.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Probably would :)

[@akashahm7717]

Thank"s You ,So much !

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad you liked it!

[@legacyfound]

always good to review what you thought you already knew to discover why it was not working: Thanks again, Justin ! By the way is there an "advanced sandbox" which allows more control over face editing in under smoove, and doing all of the above off a non horizontal (xz or yz axis or an off-axis grid ?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

If you're looking for more of this kind of functionality, Vertex Tools from Thom Thom is a good toolset - kzbin.info/www/bejne/baaqi6l5arCampI - It's paid, but it's not super expensive - personally I think it's totally worth it...

[@meditationmusic3138]

Can u please add a tutorial regarding iesve extension in sketchup

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't know what that is...

[@9819824536]

thank you

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad you liked it!

[@neutrinopluto]

Hi Justin. The glass texture or plain colors work well but textures with patterns are displayed in every geometric square as a unique texture. Is there any way of applying a single texture across the entire organic face?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Sounds like a UV Mapping issue - maybe try Thru-Paint? - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKC5eZ2jiqeIhKc

[@mihirsalunke1468]

Amazing video ...really great and helpful content 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Thanks for watching!

[@mk1st]

Excellent. There's not much about using sandbox on the Sketchup site .

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks Mark - it definitely has some good applications!

[@brixsimbulan4525]

thank you so much, !

[@brixsimbulan4525]

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Hi there - those are extensions you have to download and install - the links are in the video description. Thanks!

[@LankaHeadlines]

[@Thesketchupessentials]

😎

[@TheSketchyfreak]

Great how easy you can make mesh, thanks (9:30)

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks for watching!

[@GiveMeABloodyUser]

Very helpful! But I have a question! Does it have to be google skectchup pro? And a windows operating system? Thanks

[@Thesketchupessentials]

It does not have to be the Pro version, and there is a free SketchUp version for mac as well. Thanks!

[@mibophoto]

Exciting!!!!!!!!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks for watching!

[@salmaakermi6643]

OMG AWESOME

[@anisasafwa1980]

hey , how do i extrude or thicken the surface ?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHjKiaOXlq-SpZY

[@2level7]

what extension do you use for lines to tubes?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

It's actually called Lines to Tubes - you can find the link for it in this forum post - sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12354 - you may have to register to see the download file

[@fatehmafia007]

Thank u for this video , i like it

[@babakbank1243]

can I download and install sketchup on my 21 " Samsung tablet, since I tried and did not work

[@TriSutrisnowapu]

Hello Justin, Do you have any idea of how to make an organic shape building like Zaha Hadid design.. I can see that this tutorial is like a first step of understanding organic shape.. But I want to make an organic shape of building with wall of 12cm thick.. Any idea?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

If you're just talking about giving something like this thickness, maybe try Joint Push Pull - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3ubd6x9iNOVpas

[@nf5385]

Hi justin i have a problem with the smoove tool, when i use it it doesn't make "organic" shapes or humps. It basically pulls from a point and makes very rigid and edgy shapes. Idk what's wrong i hope you can help thanks

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Have you tried typing in a value to increase the radius of the Smoove tool?

[@bacazterchovej2235]

is a way how i can change color of selected areas or edges ? /dont like blue /

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Actually yes - you can go in your styles section of your tray, go to the tab for "Edit," and select the furthest right box (the blue one -modeling settings). From there, the first option is for "Selected" - If you click in that box, you can change the color of the selection edges in SketchUp

[@andreasmith6113]

I cant get it to drape :(

[@cm4166]

Hey Im running the program on mac, any idea where I can find the Sandbox there?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Honestly I don't know because I only have a PC - I assume you load it wherever you load your other extensions...

[@ryansingha349]

I guess asymmetric organic roof will be kinda hard

[@athrhazs]

hi wht commad to chnge the grid spacing?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I'm a bit confused - I talk about how to set grid spacing about :45 seconds into the video. Are you talking about changing the grid spacing after setting it? I don't think you can do that, you'd just have to re-draw the grid. Did that help?

[@athrhazs]

Its okay. Im a bit blur that day. Thanks!

[@babakbank1243]

how is it possible if at all, to download and install any sketchup version on my 21" Samsung tablet? !?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Generally speaking, at the moment the desktop version of SketchUp doesn't run on tablet operating systems. You could try the web version of SketchUp, but I don't know if it will work very well - check it out here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4Hbl5ihoNaspcU

[@octo_96]

how do i open the default tray?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

It should be under window, default tray. Select the box for "Show Tray." Thanks!

[@syahti]

what this plugin parameter?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't understand the question

[@tranquilswamp2786]

hey buddy, dont forget to blink ..
