Yes indeed it is another interesting solution than applying a texture, but the rendering is less pretty. The goal here is to make a screw very similar to reality, without drawing spirals.
Everyone will choose their solution according to what they want as a result.
There are others like achieving a revolution ...
Thanks for the advice to those who read the comments.

► Display the subtitles to watch the tutorial

I added the chapters in the tutorial, this allows you to directly access the parts you want to see or review.

From this particular tutorial beginner can learn how to squander precious time and in the end get geometrically wrong result (this is especially obvious when the bulge of the wall is more pronounced)

New : Show subtitles to watch the video in English or Spanish

Bonjour Pina,
je vois que tu débutes avec sketchup. Il faut que tu donnes de l'épaisseur à tes faces avec l'outil Pousser Tirer... Je te conseille de regarder plein de tutos pour apprendre les techniques de dessin.
Regarde ma chaine et surtout la playlist pour débutant.

Ce sera une bonne base pour commencer. Sketchup parait très simple d'utilisation mais ce n'est pas vrai.
Bon courage. Passe nous voir sur le forum Apprendre Skechup, on t'aidera plus facilement.

I just added the working file in the description of the tutorial (on Youtube) to work at the same time. Download it.

Display the subtitles in your language. I added the French subtitles but google translates them automatically. Good tutorial.

Yes, UV mapping. You can use free ones like Blender or Ultimate Unwrap (paid) since it can open and save skp files.
But to texture that way you need to use something like Substance Painter or similar free ones like ArmorPaint, Blender can do it also but baking is not as good as Substance Painter or ArmorPaint.
For any of them you will need to export your file to *.obj or *.fbx to texture them and after that, you will need to convert that model to skp to be able to use it in your scene.

Very nice! It was easy to make eight compass point views, scenes: Images folder, set center point, set start view. Edit config: Duration 8s, FPS 1.

Still useful in 2020 🤣
...could be interesting if a sort of simplified method could be introduced by the developers!

My take on this,
Make solids, place, rotate as you want, then outer shell

Nice done bro! do you have a video that we may try to follow as a guide I am also a newbie and got interested to do this kind of project I'm tired of making technical jobs I am planning to improve my skills and experience hoping you share your skills on us thanks. Stay safe during this pandemic

How to install Sketchup Make 2017 (this old version is necessary, so the dynamic parasols can be used)

Bep is correct. Correct installation of SketchUp on Windows 10 requires the user to right click on the installer and choose Run as administrator.

And of course if this is being used for other than hobbyist use, SketchUp Pro is required. SketchUp Make is not licensed for commercial use.

Hi Tandem,

Could you please PM me the email address you used when you purchased the product? Or maybe your PayPal account email address? I could not find the email address you are registered with at SketchUcation among the shop purchases.

Thank you.

Look through my RB scripts and see how this is done in detail...

for a simple menu item

SUBMENU=UI.menu("Plugins").add_submenu("Haujiet") #Or other menu by name e.g. 'Tools' SUBMENU.add_item("Add..."){Sketchup.active_model.select_tool(Haujiet_Tool.new())} SUBMENU.add_item("Settings..."){Haujiet_Module;;settings()}

for a command

CMD1=UI;;Command.new("Tool_name"){Haujiet_Module;;some_module_action()} CMD1.tooltip="How_to_use_tool..." CMD1.status_bar_text="How_to_use_tool..." CMD1.small_icon=File.join(FOLDER_path, 'icon.png') CMD1.large_icon=File.join(FOLDER_path, 'icon.png')

and for Toolbar

TOOLBAR=UI;;Toolbar.new("Haujiet...") TOOLBAR.add_item(CMD1) TOOLBAR.restore if TOOLBAR.get_last_state.abs == 1 #TB_VISIBLE/NEVER

for a context menu

UI.add_context_menu_handler{|menu| sub = menu.add_submenu("Haujiet...") sub.add_item(CMD1) # perhaps with tests to see if it should show - e.g. the selection is a group? }
