Creating a Detailed Metal Roof IN SKETCHUP!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

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

[@kenreimer4380]

What is the extension you used for the roof?

Cant open the link

[@simoneast7]

Bam! I was just working on designing a metal/colorbond roof and wondered how to give it more accurate detail, and you answered my question! Thanks so much for the excellent videos.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad I could help!

WOW...so many "tricks" and add-ons that make all the difference..thanks for sharing!

[@douglasmichel6361]

I noticed you moved the panel profile to the roofs edge, then rotated it 90deg. to horizontal plane, then used the follow me tool. Should that have been rotated 90+roof pitch then extruded? Or doing it your way , does it end up the same depth profile had you extruded first on a horizontal plane then rotated the panel to equal the angle of the roof? It seems that the way you did it would truncate the depth form valley of panel to ridge of panel. Or does the follow me tool take the angle into consideration as if it were extruded flat then rotated?

would you make a tutorial on a complex roof. I have a floor plan that I am working with and it has been such a mission. On the up side of it...I have learnt a lot about sketchup. cheers

WOW! no wonder I'm having such difficulty :( Tx for the extensions also. Rich

[@wilson8059]

Great as always!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks!

When I went through these steps it kicked a message “components within the model that were loaded from external files will not be resized” I can’t figure out what’s going on now. I tried pulling other files in like the base trim and inside corner trim from the PBR profile and it would do the same thing for any component I’m trying to resize

This seems to be the solution to this issue - forums.sketchup.com/t/tape-tool-resizing-entire-model-including-components-loaded-from-external-files/50646

[@ncsbyoutube]

Thank you. I’ll give this a shot.

[@khlinter]

Tks for the video, very helpful!

[@aarontcagle]

Your CAD file came in with the panel extrudable. My 5V crimp did not. So I offset it by 0.025 and joined everything up. Still can't extrude it. It's like the lines won't connect. Help!

[@aarontcagle]

Figured out a fix. I had to double click inside the group, create a rectangle that intersected all lines, and right click then intersect lines with faces.

Great plugin, but greater is problem based approach - congratulations. By the way: crossection of sheet metal needs to bd ortogonal/perpendicular to roof surface, not vertical, because high of profile is changing but we know this of course. Thanks for Your great work, greatest in SUP world!

[@ZenKahlel]

thank you man!

[@pistreemmanuel]

Hello Justin Another great video, I'm still looking for a good easy extension for roofs. In my country we use tiles, waterproof roof, steel tank. I think profile builder can do some work but it's not enough for me .....

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Maybe Instant Roof from Vali Architects?

[@derekhollingsworth9604]

Ok I am officially confused. You said the TIG roof plugin is free and provide a link to something called sketchucation which apparently I have to pay for. Not only that but when I attempt to register they want my payment information without providing any information on what I am paying for or how much. Can you offer any advice?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

When you go to the registration page there’s a button at the top for “register for free” or something like that

i hv downloaded sketchup 2018 crack version and nw i can not acces my warehouse and also extension tools. pls help.

[@ahunt]

When I try to run simplify contours I get an error. Wrong argument type Geom::Point3d (expected array)

[@ahunt]

Just figured out my problem. Inside the ribs of the panel profile were some crazy unneeded geometry. I deleted those extra lines and it's all good now.

[@jupagu]

Thanks, i wrote you about how make similar details. Thanks... I would like if is possible how make completions. Great channel.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't know what this means...

CURVIZARD extation not showing im using 2021 pro how to fix it

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Did you install it and enable it?

[@daviddickmeyer5231]

I’ll give you a thumbs up on this, but your first rotate of the section should have been at 90 degrees to the roof angle, not 90 degrees to world space! Your extruded roof section is now too shallow. Correct me if I’m wrong.

[@kevincotterell3644]

Spot the obvious error 😆

[@kevincotterell3644]

I did a similar roof (in a much less elegant way), but the underlying sheet showed thru at the overlap when I zoomed out some distance. Any hints?

[@daviddickmeyer5231]

@@kevincotterell3644 SketchUp has a tendency to do that with overlapping surfaces if they are on the same plane. You might try moving one surface slightly away from the other or just trimming one of them back for rendering purposes.

[@oneworldsteve8433]

always with the extensions

[@israeldelamoblas5043]

Thanks

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks for watching!

[@daviddickmeyer5231]

Also, where are those links you promised?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Below the video in the notes?

Resolution of your monitor is blurry in this video

[@Thesketchupessentials]

It's the same as my other videos, so the issue might be on your end
