Today you get a two-for-one learning experience! We're covering how you model a lattice and how you use Solid Tools to modify it. Follow along as we show you the basics.
Superb! I was just modelling a Pergola for my daughter and the thought of having to work out a method to do a lattice was daunting. Thanks a million for this. Job sorted!
@@chrisb3927 But of 3058 views only 252 liked it (so far, as of 20:20 18.03.21)...so I wanted to express my support even more :) I've learned lot from these small snippets and the live-streams and even though I'm a level below amateur I manage to make some useful stuff because of these videos. They really are high production quality, very easy to follow and educationally beautiful (in my not so humble opinion). Happy to hear there are more of us :D
The lattice work was nice to learn, but I really liked the solid tools tips. Work flow and use of solid tools is something I need to get straight. I have mainly worked with components, so if I need to use solid tools my components get messed up. I need to work first with groups and then make whatever components I want after doing all the solid tool work. So, anything with workflow and solid tools will definitely be of interest to me. Thanks for the great training.
done good! am i right to assume that this technique of lopping off pieces of geometry will only work if both are solids? is there a way to do this if you have a group you want to slice is not a solid?
Thanks for this. I am getting this error when I hit union: "One or more of the selected objects is either not a solid or is locked. The non-solid/locked objects will be de-selected before this operation is performed." Does anyone have any idea as to what I could be doing wrong?
More than likely, you have an object that is not a Solid. Try the Solid Inspector extension, or bring your question to the forum (forums.sketchup.com/) for more detailed troubleshooting.
@@SketchUp thanks for the reply, I’m using SketchUP Pro, but can’t figure out how to find the controls, note I’m using the IPad interface. Can you assist me in using the Solid tools on my IPad, using SketchUP Pro?
Can you show an example of this where the lattice is not lapped with each other and made into a solid. Instead it is a very long chain of separate slats. Solid tools does not like this. I am trying to cut birds mouths out of many many unique and changing rafters and want to subtract a notch out of many solids at once without exploding my rafters onto other geometry.
