Tutorial for Extrude Tools

arjunmax09

Does anyone know this plugin's video tutorial link?? or any pdf file giving tutorials in this plugin??. I"m new to this plugin and finding to work efficiently with it a bit complicated...

Rich O Brien

Here TIG explains the basics behind the final output of the mesh.

Here Simon shows how EEbyRbyF gives 'unexpected' results but also is explained why this happens!

There's no PDF that I know of....but to get the most out of this excellent tool means lots of experimentation and understanding how 'polylines' dictate the final mesh.

Hope this sort of helps...

Hi Rich & Arjun,

Thank you Rich to recall my study about EEbRbF. This tells me my work was of some interest.
Pilou, which is known as a very productive SCF member had worked a lot on these extrude tools:
you can take a look into "french section":

In fact we can work with these tools in a good predictable way. It seems to me that only EEbF and EEbRbF need to be tamed.

"some interest" is an understatement! I truly enjoy your studies and documentation for these plugins.

it's really complicated yaar!! really extreme advanced stuff.... i'm a person who learnt sketchup through sketchup for dummies book and video tutorials...please can anyone post a video tutorial somewhere for novices like me?? I'd be extremely grateful to that person.Extrude tools is way too advanced than learning sketchup itself..!!

"Come on" Arjun,

My EEbRbF sudies are not so complicated if you take time to follow each step.( But May be are they a little confused. ) I had made them with the purpose to predict things. If you try by yourself you will be led to discover the same results. What I had done is just time saving for SU users who have not a lot of time

at least EEbRbF is not simple, and I guess TIG will make it evolute in time.

I see you very active in SCF, I guess you will not be a novice for long

Seems to me that each images of start TIG threads is sufficient and very well explained for anybody!
And very well drawn !

I am trying to downolad my own file with the previous links and is no so easy as I thougth.

When I open the link and push on "Normal Dowload" the Explorer open a new window (Advertise) and start a 30 second countdown to download. Hen finish a pop-up window ask me for save the file.

Sometimes, UploadedTo open two advertises windows previous the download, and only permit one download per hour.

I am no very happy with that, because I feel tha is not very clean process, but for the moment is that I have. Sorry.

@Miguel

Thanks for making the tutorials...

However, you are making your life more complicated that it needs to be.

Your jpg could be added directly to a post as it is small enough.
The PDF is too large to attach...
Limit is ~4Mb... could you reduce its quality so it's just small enough...

But a 'movie' could be hosted on YouTube - then you could add a link in a post - so then it'd be viewable within SketchUcation...

It seems a pity to make access to your hard work so difficult...

Thanks for the advice. I'll try to upload the images of the Tutorial in several post.

I no ned to say that the resolution of the images in this case are notably lower, but in any case you can download the original tutorial in Hi-Res PDF with the previous link (more complex also).
