Apparently FredoPortrait can create 2D FaceMe components from 3D models in #SketchUp ! youtu.be/IUxQaBIKQNE @DaveCoopSTL - did you know about this?

@BinderBuilding @SketchUp Not 100% sure - wouldn't you just right click on the viewport in Layout and click the "Update model reference" button?

@easysketchup @sketchup Did I discover a shortcut everyone knows or something new? Open a project in layout and from there, in a scene box, "open with SU" change drawing, save SU, layout automatically revises vs having to ask for the revision.

@DaveCoopSTL @SketchUp @sketchUcation I’ve typed 3-4 responses to this, then deleted them all 🤣. It’s like saying “since the use of equipment reduces creativeness, we’ll be doing all excavation with shovels from now on” 🤦🏻‍♂️

@SketchUp It’s an elegant solution, for sure, but “using plugins reduces creativeness”…..C’MON, man. Seriously?!?! That’s just flat out an insane statement, blatantly misleading, and just not true. Am I right, @easysketchup ?? @sketchUcation ??

Check out this little experiment by Instagram user @ miladpirdavari: "Since using plugins reduces creativeness, I decided to propose a challenge about simple modelling without using any plugins."

@Tife_Abdulai Looking good! :)

@josephkim626 @Enscape3d Done! 😎

Little clip from today's #SketchUp #Animator tutorial - video will be out on the channel soon!

Ever had to work with a model with really nasty topology into #SketchUp ? When you import some files, specifically AutoCAD files, you can get gaps in edges, too many edges, and more! This extension can fix a lot of those problems, and it's Free! buff.ly/2NyjyeZ

Are you using the free online version of #SketchUp ? One feature a lot of people don't know about is the ability to import custom images from your computer. Model floor plans, add decoration to your interiors, and create custom textures in your models! buff.ly/3jA5v7l

So the donut is a fairly popular beginner model for some software...Guess what? You can do it in #SketchUp too! Learn how here! buff.ly/3fE8j2f

This was a fun one - this FREE #SketchUp extension lets you actually animate movement of textures inside of your models. I'd love to hear from you what you might use Animatex for! thesketchupessentials.com/animating-text…

One of my favorite functions of the #SketchUp move tool is the ability to create copies. Most people don't know that the move tool can create multiple copies of objects between 2 points in SketchUp. Learn how to do it here! buff.ly/3yBgB2f

In this video, learn how to use Layout to create a cut-through diagram of a deck from a #SketchUp model! - thesketchupessentials.com/creating-a-cut…

In this video, learn to use the free extension Extrusion Tools by TIG to create complex shapes by extruding edges in #SketchUp! - thesketchupessentials.com/modeling-with-…

This FREE #SketchUp extension lets you create and edit custom materials from directly inside SketchUp! Not only does it save you the time of manually setting up materials by automating the process, you can make changes to materials you've created! thesketchupessentials.com/creating-custo…

Sometimes when working with things like doors and windows in #SketchUp , you want to use the scale tool to make them larger or smaller, but it would warp your geometry. Luckily, this tool from Fredo6 scales objects from the center without any distortion! thesketchupessentials.com/fredoscale-sec…

So...I don't know anything about 3D printers, but I'm trying to pick one! Anyone have any advice? 😄 #3dprinter #3Dprinting #Creality #Prusa #FlashForge #Dremel buff.ly/3C2lnYO

In this video, we're going to talk about high resolution textures in #SketchUp - how to create/enable them, when to use them, and how to adjust them if they start affecting your model performance! thesketchupessentials.com/high-resolutio…

In this video, we talk about Joint Push Pull - an extension from Fredo6 that gives you the ability to push pull multiple and curved surfaces in #SketchUp! This extension can be great for thickening complex objects and adding recesses! thesketchupessentials.com/push-pulling-c…

In this video, we talk about how to use the free #SketchUp extension Random Tools to quickly place random objects inside of SketchUp! thesketchupessentials.com/quickly-random…

In this video, we talk about how to use the #SketchUp extension FFD to deform objects using a control cage that you select! - thesketchupessentials.com/deforming-shap…
