I didn't remember so I had to download it again. I just called Joint Push/Pull, made sure it was set to thicken, clicked and released on the surface, moved the cursor, let go of the mouse, typed the thickness, pressed Enter.
Click on the picture.

Yeah, that's kinda what I did. But it was easier to just pull from the bottom. Thanks for your help.

So Dave, I've been trying to figure out the tools of Joint Push Pull, do you recall the steps you used to create your result?

Perfect! Great solution! Well worth the $12
Hi, I need help using the Push/Pull tool to extend a surface with a Rounded Corner. I have created the desired idea, but I would like to push the surface to .120". If you look at the attached, you can see I can round a flat plane, but how can I round the Pulled plane?
Basically I need the .120 surface to look liked it was punched by a 10 ton press.
Ensure you have not disabled or are missing the file sketchup_webhelper.exe, it is the connection file that allows SU to connect to the warehouse.
Ok, it took a while, but I got it figured out. I had to create a variety of transitions, once I placed the objects in the correct location I backed out the object to a location off-scene, then just reversed the movements.
Not real pretty, but it works. Still may play with some linear motions, but I got it solved. Not sure why the graphics are pixilated, .avi sucks, .mp4 is fine. I'll play with FPS.

Hi mgfranz!
You might like to take a look at a tutorial by Justin Geis which shows you how to create an exploded view animation using Animator. Around about the 5:30 mark, Justin shows you how to reverse the explosion so that might give you some idea of how to achieve the effect you want.
The tutorial can be found at:

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks NF, but I don't think using the explosion will work in this instance since I have the need to place a total of 12 screws in 3 different locations. I suppose I could do some Easing on the fly-in group, let me do some research. I have attached my SU and animation file for a visual reference, just remove the .txt extension.
Great Animator Fredo! Once I got my system issues fixed I was able to create my animation in less than 10 min after watching the tutorials. So now I want to try something, is it possible for a object or group to "fly-in" from off scene? Like if I want to have screws installed in a component at a certain time point? For example, in the first 4 seconds of my animation, a group is moved into another component, at this point, I want a group of screws to come flying in from off scene and then place themselves in the clip at 5 seconds, do their thing, then finish the clip as normal. Possible?
Well, I believe I have some insight into the problems I have been having with loading .rbe files. Unfortunately my hard drive boot sector failed horribly, so I was forced to replace the disk in my laptop. With a fresh install of Windows 10 including all updates, I installed nothing to the system except SU 2016 as Administrator. I downloaded the latest version of Fredo6, Animator, RoundCorner and installed them using Windows>Preferences, restarted SU and all plug-ins loaded perfectly. So there was something seriously wrong with my system somewhere. In the process of reinstalling all necessary programs and will be restarting SU after each install to verify that nothing screws up SU.

Don't know why, but this version just won't work, same error encountered by @mgfranz =\ Only difference is that I'm using SU2017.
I had to uninstall and reinstall an older version (8.0c, which is the only one not too old I could find).
Would anybody provide a link with the 8.1c ~ 8.1f versions so I can run a few tests?Thx!
Where did you find a version 8.0c?
