@pbacot said: I quite disagree David. You apparently don't understand the point. It speeds up the process in most cases. Did you know that grouping avoids removal of edges for faces you want to keep and and makes selection simpler for editing complex shapes? It would have prevented the problem he was showing in the video. I did understand the point but I don't see how it speeds up the process he was showing. I didn't group the selection in my example and I didn't have the problem he had either. I also understand Box's point. Different strokes. I deleted my previous post.

Very detailed and pedagogic!

Estoy muy interesado en el tema, no tengo aún oculus porque tengo MAC pero estoy planeando pasarme a PC por los problemas de compatibilidad de MAC con los visores VR, Pronto esscribiré mi aporte al respecto

@chippwalters said: @caul said: It's actually quite straight forward to construct a "canonical" entasis in Sketchup for any type of column - smooth or fluted. <snip> I've done two different tutorials on Flowify and even I had a hard time following this, but it is an ingenious use of the tool! I've added a highly exaggerated example file to show the basic principle. [image: moia_entasisII.png] entasis(skp8).zip

Hello! anybody knows how to get the plugin Bring My View Back?

I've been looking for this everywhere, actually! Thank you so much for posting this!! You did save my life with that. I'm an LO user and I haven't quite figured out how to work with a transparent background so I'm glad that I found your tutorial on that!

I was interessted in that theme but this really looks very complicated. I wanted to make some sliding doors dynamic.

It's a nice video! I have seen it before. The new thing on my video is that the worm drive is curved or enveloping around the wheel.

@pilou said: Have you try the Medeek Truss plugin ? No i haven't tried it yet.. And Fredo Scale Radial Bender ? Yes i know, it is part of fredo tools.. But i like to use flowify.. I show the basics i know, main part was getting lines from sandbox.. You can use any plugin to bend..

Thanks! Curviloft is a precious tool!

@tig said: I did get the cup analogy but I wasn't sure the others would ! Really, the cup analogy has pitfalls. First or Third, the right hand view will look identical, be it the hollow inside of the cup, or the bottom of the cup, both would result in a "donut" end view on either side. TRUNCATED CONE! Accept no substitutes.

A new version of this Dutch language version course, is now ready for distribution. SketchUp2017 - 112 pages. Start as beginner and ends as a advanced user! We send some pages on request. Johan Van Synghel

Unfortunately this is more like a speed drawing demonstration than a tutorial. It doesn't really teach anyone how to do what you are doing.

I sped watched one of the other tutorials. You obviously have a firm grasp of using SketchUp and Extensions. My only suggestion would be the pay attention the segment number on curves, arcs and circles. In some instances you are creating denese geometry for no gain. Bezier Spline is a great tool but using 20 segments on a curve is overboard is places.
