Thanks sir, most passionate teacher in youtube.

[@labellamadera9389]

As a woodworker, I was looking for an extension like this. Thanks for letting us know Justin

[@MDLEUA]

Amazing, I always learn something new in here.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Awesome - thanks very much!

[@tomaszwiatr781]

Thanks, explanation and extension are great!!!

[@artworksenvisioneering2167]

This is precisely the hack I've needed for my custom door components. A thousand and one uses. Thanks!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Awesome - glad you liked it!

[@jackwortman]

This is a powerful tool that I I have resized all of the furniture in my current project without distortion. Thank you.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Awesome Jack - glad you liked it!

Hej Justin! My 4 y.o. daughter loves your intro " what's up guys " 😅 ❤, every time I start your videos she asks my to repeat it again and again.

[@NicholasNell]

1 more awesome feature of Box Stretching is that if you hit the tab key after selecting the stretching node a dialog will pop up that will allow you to enter in an exact dimension.

[@artworksenvisioneering2167]

Nice. That is just what was needed. I'll use it on cabinets I imagine.

[@NicholasNell]

@@artworksenvisioneering2167 That is primarily what I started using it for, but it useful in so many scenarios.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Oh awesome - I didn't know that one! :)

[@deesesarte]

I was looking just for this...

[@radostsimeonova3179]

That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you! :)

[@baines123]

where can i get the plugin ? i cant find it. i have a sketchup 2020

[@mrskye08]

question, is there a way to enable snapping while streching? i've been trying to use this tool on a window. i made the wall opening wider, and then about to stretch the window to fit the wider opening. but no matter how i point the cursor to the edge of the new opening, the scale is not snapping there. one way i can see this is just to type the scale factor, but i don't really want to mess it up especially when the factor becomes non-terminating decimal (1.666667) and it will not become exact. any help?

[@mrskye08]

nevermind i found the solution. :) it is because i am working inside a component, and trying to snap it in a point that is OUTSIDE the component. what i did is made a line inside the component and it snapped!!

[@Williscald]

@@mrskye08 Can you elaborate on "made a line inside the component"?

[@mrskye08]

@@Williscald tbh i can no longer recall 😅 but i think what happened is that the object i was trying to stretch was a component and it doesn't snap to any point/line outside the component. so what i did was went inside the component (double click the component to go inside it, or right click the component and select edit component) and draw the line while inside the component (the line is where i want the object to snap when stretching. it could also be a point but i find drawing lines easier than drawing a point). then i probably selected everything except the line, then used the tool to stretch the selected items and snap it to the line. then i deleted the line afterwards because it was just a marker. i hope this helps 😁

[@Williscald]

@@mrskye08 Thanks. I'll give it a try. W

[@angelsantana7135]

Hi, I´ve seem your videos for along time, may you please explain how to instal this tool in sketchup 2019 because I tried but I couldn't get it, just get an error telling me that I need a higher version like 6 or something like that! thanks a lot for your videos tips and your time!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Did you update Fredo's LibFredo extension as well as FredoScale?

[@evergreenskateparks1784]

I trying to stretch an object smaller without changing its outside radius do you think this is possible this tool, your tutorials are amazing

[@scileten]

Thx for that video.Now i know what stetch box does.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

👍

[@maecruz9949]

The divider does not show up on my box stretch command. How do I make it appear?

[@nisreenkiwan5772]

Thank you

[@Thesketchupessentials]

👍

[@sonhanguyen1214]

Can we prevent Box strecth from making new component, many thanks.

[@fadlimundziral9836]

how to download the fredoscale. the link cant be opened.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I just updated the link - SketchUp made some 3D warehouse changes and Fredo's extensions are now only on SketchUcation - thanks for the heads up!

[@jskup]

thank you very much. But it doesn't work well with a complex pvc window that I made from real profiles. The solution in this case is to select the edges and faces of the left or right jamb and move them with the usual "move" tool. You have to remember to display the hidden geometry, otherwise deformations will occur. (I discovered this while testing after your video) It seems to me that this trick is not explained in the videos available on KZbin

[@w.binder-freecadchannel]

Box stretching is actually the same as Dynamic Component or?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Not really - it works for any kind of object. Dynamic components can have similar properties in the sense that they can be set to widen without changing widths of door frames or something like that (as an example), but this is much faster, more customizable, and not buggy like dynamic components can be

[@w.binder-freecadchannel]

@@Thesketchupessentials Yes, I mean, it's better faster than Dynamic Component, which you have to program first. ;- )

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Yep - definitely :)

[@nicoladebiasi6759]

@@Thesketchupessentials I beg to differ on this point, once programmed properly you can do incredible things with Dynamic Components

[@Thesketchupessentials]

@@nicoladebiasi6759 Never said you couldn't

[@jeffharmed1616]

Thanks for sharing. Very powerful thanks. It looks like a copy of Blender tools

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I've never used Blender tools, but it's a very powerful set of tools - thanks!

[@DingBaluyot]

not working now?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

As far as I know it still works

[@viz-vis]

Great plugin, but a shame it makes the components unique

[@fedrilooo]

охуительно!
