Joint push pull is a tool in SketchUp that allows you to extrude or cut away a section of a 3D model by pushing or pulling it along a path. There could be several reasons why joint push pull might not be working properly. Here are a few possible explanations: The path is not properly defined: In order to use joint push pull, you need to first define a path for the tool to follow. This can be a line, a curve, or a face. Make sure that the path you have selected is properly defined and closed, and that it is not self-intersecting. The selection is not properly defined: Joint push pull only works on a single, contiguous selection of faces. Make sure that you have only selected the faces that you want to extrude or cut away, and that there are no gaps or holes in your selection. The model is not properly oriented: Joint push pull works best when the model is oriented in a way that allows the tool to push or pull along a straight line. If the model is oriented at an angle, it may be difficult to get the tool to work properly. Try rotating the model or adjusting the path to make it more straightforward. There are intersecting faces: If there are faces that intersect with each other in your model, joint push pull may not work properly. Try using the "Erase" tool to remove any intersecting faces before using joint push pull. There is a problem with the software: If none of these suggestions help, it is possible that there is a problem with the software itself. In this case, try restarting SketchUp or reinstalling the software to see if that fixes the issue.

There are several tools available that can automatically create IFC spaces within a building model. These tools can be used to quickly and accurately define the spaces within a building, which can be useful for various purposes such as energy analysis, building management, and facility planning. One example of a tool that can create IFC spaces is Solibri Model Checker (SMC). SMC is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) quality assurance and control software that can identify and classify spaces within a building model based on their size, shape, and location. It can also automatically create space boundaries based on the geometry of the building model, and assign space names based on predefined rules. Another example is the Revit software, which is a BIM software developed by Autodesk. Revit includes a feature called "Space Separation Lines" that allows users to define the boundaries of spaces within a building model. Users can draw space separation lines in the 3D model view, or create them automatically using the "Automatic Separation Lines" tool. This tool can create space separation lines based on the geometry of the building model and the type of space (e.g., office, conference room, etc.). There are also other tools available that can create IFC spaces, such as ArchiCAD and Allplan. These tools may have different features and capabilities, so it is important to evaluate the needs of the project and choose the tool that is most suitable.

No these were people.skp I've had since the early 2000s. Not a big deal now that I know about tags.

Thank you as usual box

A very interesting video that confirms that you can use SketchUp models in PPT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6rPjsZhiPs

Dave/Box, Thanks to you both for responding. Your comments are what I thought previously. I get the feeling that I was getting a bit of scare mongering to encourage us to migrate to the subscription model.

Do you have the most recent version of the extension? Do you also have the current version of the required Sketchucation Tool installed? [image: Screenshot - 12_10_2022 , 12_16_28 PM.png] Please correct your profile. It indicates you are using SketchUp 2022 Free/Make but there is no such version.

@box said: Personally I would use Tigs smart offset, then deselect faces from Thomthoms selection toys, allowing the edges to be deleted and then pushpull. Ooh, I like this better! Thanks for the tip!

[image: SU from VW imports Default Style 1600 px.jpg][image: SU from VW imports HiddenLineStyle 1600 px.jpg]I have tried nearly every option for importing a VW model into SketchUp, and recently found software that does a good job. 'Transmutr' is a standalone application (not a plugin for SU.) See below for a comparison of various VW export/SU import approaches. Many of them fail to include the line work, so I've shown the results in both SU 'Default Style' and 'Hidden Line' to illustrate. I feel like Transmutr is the way to go, at least at present.

You left click, hold and drag on the first point and when your release left button on second point you lock rotational plane.

@Fredo Updating the lib plugin did help but I still had to revalidate all my licenses again. No worries. It's working now. Thanks.

@bjett said: I reached out to SketchUp Support and heard back from them... (Any hot tips on when 2023 gets released?) It's good that they gave you the scoop. As for when 2023 gets released? Your guess is as good as mine.

The Grammarly Free Trial 2023is a great way to try out this program because, unlike other free programs, it offers the basics you need to improve grammar. Almost all services offer a free trial period during which they are allowed to access all premium tools and features.

You're not the first and I'm sure you won't be the last. This is a very common mistake.

Thanks rot this reply Fredo. Just to let you know, my laptop died servers months ago so I cannot try D5 but I have seen several posts in the forum where others are using/trying it and it looks like an interesting program and they have a plugin for SketchUp so I thought I would let you know about it. Remember, I am a huge fan of Animator.

Ver interesting animation tool. Thanks for sharing Pilou.
