Hii TheSketchUpEssentials - Justin Geis can you do a video on how to create a same skin over a parametric roof which has uneven contours and curves, please

[@GregJoshuaW]

Thank for doing these Justin, it definitely helps to learn from others who have paved the way. What if your target shape is not something simple like a regular tunnel as depicted here (even though it is curved which is great BTW), but a surface shaped like half an egg (for example)?

[@muhammadshahzadkhan3620]

Hi sir i realy like ur vdos

[@phattruong3401]

Thanks for videos!

[@RK-jb6rq]

This is really easy to do thanks to the way of your explanation. I did it in 4 hours at the first time but at my second try I could literally do it in minutes. Thanks so much

[@aleixaymericholiver4951]

Hi, If you want to get more kind a geometric forms when you use conic curve in face you have to open the define parameters box and set to 2 on the number of points box. I take the opportunity to say thank you for your huge contribution to this aera. I ancorage you to keep working like this!

[@juferolineg.movida5005]

Sorry not sorry to my profs but I honestly learn waaaayyyyyy more in your tutorials than in our class.

[@veronicaalessandrello1022]

Wouldn't it be amazing if Sketchup had a home page or a 'start a new project page' with different objects similar to what you just did and, in one click we could get the settings with all the plugs and extensions required for that specific project? I'm just thinking about beginners' productivity. hehe... for not calling it laziness. Thank you once again... This tutorial is super helpful for my project. I am trying to build a roof for my self build home extension with a garden room and would like it to be an organic copper or metal rusted fabric with these openings.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Lol - real deal or not, we're in feet and inches over here, so I've got to keep using those :)

[@Yamini.M.K]

Fantastic! Thankyou so much. Is it possible to make this less smoother, more geometric...so instead of an arch, say I had an irregular polygon?

[@bereshyitbara7586]

Regarding materials, could you prepare a tutorial on how to develop a bill of quantities (BOQ)? Say, an MS Excel list of what materials are used, how much/many of them are used. THIS is because based on such a bill, the unit prices of each material can be done after inquiry in specific market. NO contract can be concluded without BOQ, you know. BOQ is the key leading SketchUp to actual engineering projects.

What if the target face is irregular face like triangle or trapezoid? Great tutorial btw!

It won't work. Flowify works with 4 sided shapes

That fix now dialogue box that pop up whenever tryna do modify or save is so annoying.. don't know why does it appears all the time,mine is also 2018 version and I don't know if this happens only for this version or are there anyone with different versions get through with same problem

[@gracemich9711]

Love it😍😍

[@DennisMaynard]

Curious, could you have used lattice maker to do the glass and lattice?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I think you could use it to make a glass pattern along the shape, but I don't think you could use it to create the voronoi glass. Did that answer your question?

[@MontrealTribalFusion]

Hello. Great tutorials! I'm new to sketchup from 3ds max and have to learn quickly on the job. I have an issue, when i try to impose the grid, nothing happens. We have just updated to 2019, maybe a version issue? I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. If the grid will not create automatically can i create a grid plane manually to use? Thanks in advance

[@Thesketchupessentials]

You need to check your grouping - 99% of the time if the grid won't impose, it's because your grouping isn't set up properly

[@MontrealTribalFusion]

@@Thesketchupessentials thanks for the reply :) you must feel like a broken record ;p I checked my groups and they seemed fine. That said, I'll redo the tutorial to see if that's it. Thanks for the reply :)

[@DonnydeOlim]

Hello Justin... I really think your videos are great! I have found a lot of very useful plugins for SketchUp, but I'm having some problem trying to download Voronoi. I can't find the way to download and install it. Any ideas?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

The link is in the description below the video - which part isn't working for you?

[@DonnydeOlim]

Well... I go to the link, and download two file ".rb" Then, back in SketchUp, I try to install the plugins as usual (through the extensions window), and it doesn't recognise the ".rb" files... so, how did you install it?

[@arturrosa3166]

Great video but not being used to the imperial system it really baffles me how people prefer to say and think of 201 feet 10 and 3/8 inch instead of simply 61.53 meters...

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Well for me, I know exactly how far 201' 10 3/8" is and I have no clue how long 61.53 meters is...

[@arturrosa3166]

@@Thesketchupessentials I understand you feel that way but it still baffles me, especially since it’s so prone to errors, which could be very problematic in an architectural environment like the ones typically used with sketchup. Just look at your own confusion in the video - a few seconds after saying a measure you weren’t sure anymore if it was the right one because it’s so hard to remember.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

@@arturrosa3166 It's not prone to errors. We build buildings all the time in America with imperial. I work for a commercial general contractor who builds commercial projects in imperial and they're fine.

[@arturrosa3166]

@@Thesketchupessentials History proves otherwise. Common sense too. Typing 201' 10 3/8 inch" is obviously more prone to errors than simply typing 61.53. This is obvious it's not even debatable, it's pure common sense. Also, think of all the conversions and calculations. How easily can you tell me how much is 201 food 10 3/8 inch minus 4 feet and 6/16 inch? Now compare with 61.53 - 1.51. There's no way you can convince me the former is less prone to errors. Plus, think of the time you'd save in sketchup when typing dimensions - just type a number instead of a combination of numbers, spaces and fractions. And think of the ease of conversions. If I want to convert something, I just move the decimal point: 1.45m = 145cm. And even conversions between units - I know that 1 liter is a cube with exactly 10cm side and that this weighs exactly 1kg. Now try to do the same with your units...

[@Thesketchupessentials]

@@arturrosa3166 No thanks - I'm not really interested in a debate between the two systems. Luckily for both of us SketchUp supports either system :)

Check your object grouping - your groups probably aren't set up properly

Go back and make sure that the faces it won't work on only have full line segments around them. If they're broken up at all it won't work as well

If it's from the SketchUcation plugin store, that should be the file that I was using. I wouldn't think it would be dangerous, but maybe run a virus scan on it when you pull it down just to be sure. Thanks!
