Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about this video in the comments below! :)

[@johnsperling7348]

I can download the FredoSpline extension from the Warehouse - do you know if its still available or if there are any other alternatives?

[@williammwape1631]

Please help on how to open the fredo spline tool bar... Can't seem to find it.

Hey! Loved your every single tutorial , I just want to know from where I can download Lumion 3d models like trees , sofas which are not in lumion already.

[@adrianjones5492]

Very useful as studying garden design. Nice one!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad you liked it!

[@nishantsharma6259]

Hello, appreciate your work very much. Just wanted to know that is there any way to download materials directly in model from 3d warehouse in the latest version? there are tuts on YT but it does not work for SkethUp 2020. Please help me out.

[@nyapaistory5590]

Thanks sharing

[@flipside2592]

I thought this video was about adding trees and plants directly without having to go to the 3d warehouse again and again,btw still you came up with a useful extension.

[@jimshadmymoona7507]

Good job bro

[@dylanb.]

Hello can you do a video on things like how to create different textures? like gravel or sand textures and how to change the color of each texture?

[@narfi4jah]

Yes, im looking for free extension. Thx bro

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Linked in notes below video

[@artworksenvisioneering2167]

Some good methods. I may have to get Fred spline. Been using Bezier curve but it appears Fredo may have better options. Thoughts? I set up grass and grass proxy borders as an Assembly Maker 3 build, and it works wonderfully. Same for some semi randomized hen and chicks in xeriscape builds. You can set symbols with your species on a separate hidden layer that appears in a plan view, and extract a landscape plan from it as well.

[@yonastsegaye1819]

pls make a video of landscape combining with surrounding area and buildings

[@asadhus]

6:17 definitely copying this technique. I always used shift to add specific points to my selection, but never thought to use it to deselect. Definitely saves time.

[@asadhus]

6:33 WELDING EDGES IS HUGE BREAKTHROUGH!

[@er.tariqalamfarooqi4771]

fredospline is shown in the extension manager but not shown in the task bar...any help?

[@rajulac.p.6594]

Hi, how can i download the fredoSpline plug in, I tried downloading, but its not coming in the extension manager

[@prestoncampbell8127]

where can we get a new software like laubwerk since they dont have an updated version?

[@charlesbaoumar6087]

So cool! Do you ever do Rhino tutorials? The interface and commands are really similar

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Not yet - it's on my list, but I currently have 4 KZbin channels, so I don't really have the capacity for another at the moment

I got the plug in working but Im having trouble controlling the plane it draws on. The plane drops or rises from point to point.....hmm

[@smilemigxtv1094]

Done subscribed and liked bro...

[@wesley5nipes]

I subscribed because you rock! Question, you say Sketchup 2020, and I'm wondering what that means. Is that Sketchup Free 2020? I only use Sketchup Free. Also, are your tutorials all Sketchup Free functions or are some Shop or Pro? If they aren't Free functions, how will I know? Thanks and keep rocking!

[@wesley5nipes]

BTW, I am using Sketchup Free to model my own DIY landscaping ideas so a landscape specific tutorial playlist starting from easy to more difficult would be saweet. I'm currently stuck on how to draw an ellipse.

[@judisamuelsgardendesign]

Hi, thanks so much for introducing me to this tool! Now downloaded and practicing. I am having a problem drawing in the same plane.. each attempt goes down into the vertical space.. I'm wondering how you keep your shape on the one horizantal plane? I've tried working on the surface of a circle.. but, still each attempt with the bezier nerbs.. I am still dipping down below..

[@dianakiszczak1142]

I have the same problem !! This is so annoying pls help

[@carlodigma5128]

How about if I am using lower version with out Pro such 2017, Thanks God bless.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

What about it?

[@saaa9964]

Can i do that in free web app?

[@altamashrizwan9790]

Hello sir, I watced your tutorial on materialize software..it was a great help. Sir I want to ask that how can we combine 3 or more maps together.. Like height map,edge map, etc I am asking for the lumion rendering.. because it gives only the options for diffuse map and normal map.. I can't insert the metallic map or hight map to it. Please help

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Why wouldn't you leave this comment on that video then? Also, something to do with the alpha channels I think, though I've never tried it. You're probably going to have to Google that one

How do I add 3D models into the web version?

[@micky6045]

If I get you well...you want to upload your own models to the SketchUp ware house for other users to download. In your SketchUp window, navigate to the windows tab in the menu bar Select 3D warehouse. You need to have an internet connection to access the warehouse. In the ware house you would see the upload symbol, click'am... it will upload your current model to the warehouse..

[@arshkhan3095]

Can i download these extentions for free or there is any other site for that?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I mean, it literally says you can in the title of the video...

[@swampdaddy87]

Justin, I'm running SKU 2020 Pro - latest update version, and installed both Fredospline and PathCopy. When I restarted Sketchup the following error message appears: "Some Fredo6 Plugins will not load." Then it lists current Sketchup Version numbers, then says "Fredospline: requires LibFredo6 version >=110". When I go to load/ install LibFredo6 under "sketchucation" web site the comments all say "Do not install it for Sketchup version >=2017"? So I am on hold doing this out of concern. I've had issues in the past where a Fredo Plug In caused Sketchup to crash upon start up every time and had to uninstall and have you help me to reset a few things. I can't afford to have that happen again due to my work load (I have screen shots of these errors if that helps?) Thanks.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

There are 2 versions of LibFredo in the SketchUcation warehouse - one that is for versions newe than 2017, one for older versions. It sounds like you've selected the wrong one. You should see both on this page - sketchucation.com/pluginstore?listtype=1&author=0&category=0&search=lib+fredo&submit=%3F
