Twisted spiral deformation in SketchUp - Skill Builder

[@goffyfoot82]

Box is the man and his stuff with SubD and cool tricks like this. Not only impress`s you but makes you realize the many possibilities SketchUp offers. Or mysteries is has left to be found.

[@hambuilder]

That was really great, Aaron (and Box!)! These skill builders are fantastic and are such a benefit for us SketchUp users!

[@avinashchakravorty406]

I tried making doors & windows using your previous videos, got a little bit success also but there were some problems, so It would be really helpful if we get a series on making complex dynamic components (i.e. Windows, Doors, Staircase, Boundary Walls, Railings etc) with varied options. These videos are really helpful, thanks a lot. Subscribed.

I hope sketchup will add more native tools like this weld tool. No more extensions in the future, just full native tools. I hope sketchup will consider this suggestion. Thank you.

[@DzinEye]

Very cool. AND... reminds me to say that it's ridiculous that Sketchup does not have a native weld tool in the kit.

[@ManjunathKarkal]

I'm late to the party.. but absolutely loved this!! Thanks!! 🎉

[@ebrahimoosa786]

Fantastic man.... I never thought about. All these time I've been using follow-me tools. Coooooola!

[@jeffharmed1616]

Just used this method to make twisted sticks of boiled candy and I have reduced the memory size by half of a candy made using twist and bend plugins. Many thanks.

[@AaronMakingStuff]

Many "You're welcomes"

[@airigid]

skill builder videos are cool , reminder of tool usage and exporation of techniques.

[@AaronMakingStuff]

Never stop learning and experimenting! There is always more to see!

[@martinsreef9413]

Thanks Aaron these vids are so helpful really appreciate what you do for us

[@synthetic_VN]

High quality options. Very creative!

[@nameinvalid69]

6:00 whaaaaaaaa....? How does that even make any sense? I can't understand the concept why is it behavior like that! MIND BLOWN~

[@RixtronixLAB]

Good knowledge, well done, thanks for sharing with us :)

[@mattvis141]

Great video as always! Having scoured the internet there doesn’t appear to be much content around dynamic components and how to create them. I’ve been stuck on a programming problem for an animation sequence I’m attempting. Any/all walkthroughs on a bunch of examples of how to use different functions would be great content, I don’t know how many others have gone down this rabbit hole. But it’s deep, and I’m a bit lost.

[@AaronMakingStuff]

I will add this to my list!

[@triole1]

Hi, i want to build a ring that is not always the same width around the finger. Can you help me? tks!

[@TwoSierraEcho]

As ZeroLife said... WHAT????? I didn't expect the deformation. I don't get it! Love'd it none the less.

[@ming19850418]

I've tried to scale the top surface but lines didnt bend (only a few lines connect the to surface move)

[@dryazidorlhns8837]

i got the same effect too.. any other hidden step that was not mention?

[@ziaulhossainsikder4018]

Very nice. Need to your help regarding weld tools. I did not find this tools at my Extension menu.

[@mogamedorsmuradov7316]

Thank you for clear work!

[@johnathonallen2545]

I can use this technique to make a ring in pinion gear for deferential. If I also apply your technique for making a screw.

[@jeffharmed1616]

great skill thanks. Now just pop it on top of a Moscow building and colour the spirals.

[@dwbechtel]

Hey, Great content. I love this video. I've been experimenting with this technique and am having a problem. I created the same kind of form as your video shows with the same techniques with the goal of creating a series of 3d shaped lines that I could then use follow me to wrap a shape around the line. However, when I do follow me on the line the shape twists as it follows the line. Instead of staying with a convex side facing always inward, it curves and ends up pointing downward. Could you see if you can reproduce this and explain why this is happening?

[@maxim.tonkikh]

Could you please help me understand why this tube squeezed asymmetrically. Upper part squeezed while lower part remains almost unchanged, where is a boundary b/w "hard/light" squeezing? Can I predict it?

[@AaronMakingStuff]

The bottom is "Anchored" by being connected to the circle. The deformation has to do with a bunch of geometric calculations related to keeping the curve connected while changing the angle of the first segment... I am not really smart enough to explain beyond that. I recommend you make a model and try it yourself!

[@maxim.tonkikh]

@@AaronMakingStuff Thank you!

[@dshuttles]

Is the welding extension different from what we have in SU 2021 (“weld edges”)? Thanks for another great tutorial!

[@SketchUp]

It is... or was.... This was from before Weld was a native function.

[@cactuskicker543]

It works at sketchup pro 2017 ?

[@jylanelkhoraibie9722]

Thank you so much Aaron :)

[@Bienen-Welten]

Super gemacht 👌👍👍👍

[@taylorplayer40]

Great video. I have one question. How does that copy function work when you say you're typing 23x? I don't seem to have that tool or option.

[@SketchUp]

After using the Move to with the modifier key to make a single copy, simply type the number of copies you need, followed by the X key and you will generate an array!

[@taylorplayer40]

@@SketchUp Thanks. I didn't know what the modifier key meant so for others like me the modifier key is control or shift on your keyboard. Pressing it while using various tools changes their action. I cant believe I didn't know this.

[@ashleybrickerton8563]

awesome❤❤

[@jamie7364]

Excellent, thank you

[@shitakshikeshri3872]

Easy. Quick. Cool.
