What you do is incredible, but your videos are demonstrative rather than educational. What we, the viewers of your channel, want to see and know is how things are done, which tools you use, and which plugins you employ, explained in detail. Even your most recent videos are not very educational.
Is it just me or does this look like a giant work around? Sometimes I wonder if Sketch Up should be Mac only because so much of the functionality is hidden or implied. This is a great demo but it's also a great example of what is "wrong" with Sketch Up. I think the only way I would ever have figured this method out on my own is if I somehow had all my other software experience erased from my mind!
Thank you for the video, it is an awesome walkthrough and I learned a lot about sketchup! Small but important thing to note using this method: Using the divide by function to copy the radial lines means the distance between the points on the surface of the sphere is equal, not the distance between the points on the icosahedron edge (the edge of the triangle). Although this will generate a geodesic dome, the geometry is slightly different from dome calculators like domerama. I wasn't quite sure how to use the divide or multiply copy functionality to split the icosahedron edges, so I just divided the edges into five parts and copied the radial length each time to the endpoint of the divided icosahedron edge. It was a bit more work, but resulted in the same geometry as domerama.
Initially when creating the first geodesic sphere shape, he creates the first two triangles and then presses x4 to create the rest on that side. When I do this it doesn't work, do I need to press something else at the same time?
