These skill builders are very helpful as they can be leveraged for so many other tasks that come up when modeling. Thanks 😎🤙

[@3drealismdesigns497]

thank you.

[@zack4258]

Is that cable a solid object ? I mean could I , theoretically ,save it as a printable file for a 3d-printer ? It would be great for Modeling .

[@patricktorres5469]

how do you move your camera so smooth?

[@keggyification]

Excellent video as always Aaron. Great information and explanation of techniques that'll be really useful for numerous things.

[@CalvinJ82]

This is an awesome technique for putting a rim or any kind of trim on any shape with the right cornering. Really cool. As always, thanks for sharing skills.

This gives me a clue how to set up a curve for a railway track bend. Thanks Aaron.

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Railroads use spiral to curve to spiral....

Good tutorial. For something more complicated, you could make it a three stranded rope.

One could make a three stranded rope… one could…

Hi how can i drop fruits naturaly in a bowl, i saw a way by increasing the bend clothwork feature in the model but still not that much effective ?

[@everydaylifeasitis]

no matter what i do..i cant get those lines off from the face. i dont know what mistake i am doing here.

[@SketchUp]

Group the wall before you draw the lines. See if that helps!

[@everydaylifeasitis]

Sir,,,thank you. i did it with your expert tutorials. May god bless you with all wealth and health. i learnt so much from your teachings. kindly keep up the good work. Wishes from India.

[@jameschang7274]

that is why you should always make a copy of the path before you follow me, or just undo multipal times which annoying. also try fredo scale instead of defult scale will fix that issue with scaling

Cable drape is a catenary curve. Compute it in Excel, chart it, trace over the image in Sketchup. Same with hyperbolas, etc. if you want mathematical accuracy.

Would love to see a tutorial on how to do a pair of twisted wires.
