This tip was perfect for me! I use SketchUp to show home renovations and mitering objects like trim & base and cab doors by hand used to take SO long. Thank you!

Whaaaaaat? I love the follow me tool. I use it when making baseboards and ceiling profiles. But I never knew that I didn't have to spend a ton of time spinning around a room's floor to select all the lines... that I can simply click on the face! Cool beans! Thanks, Justin!! 🙌🏽

@dominykaszakrys3373 3 года назад

To think I always used to select a surface and then drag it along the endless string of line only to hope the final mesh is clean and solid without any gaps offace holes or any other nasty shenanigans when you can just select the entire edge path and just click once for sketchup to do it perfectly fine for you... And i considered myself a pro at sketchup xd. You're a lifesaver, Justin

Hi Justin. Thank you for your tutorials, they are very helpfull. I'm doing alot of interior renders in Sketchup now. I'm wondering if you know how to import 3Ds max file with all textures to Sketchup. I have huge library with interior furnitures but they were made in 3Ds max. I can import one by one and apply all textures but it takes time.

Sorry - I don't really have much experience with 3DS Max, so I'm not sure I can help you with this one...

@weiseeule Год назад

Thanx so so much. I love your tutorials and usually everything works out nicely! But with the ball I have a problem. I am still using Sketchup free (2017) and I followed step by step, but after clicking (I tried once and double) within the groups, nothing happens. I once managed getting the belt with exploding group before. Why is that?

What about rounding corners on a box, but the bottom is 1/2" offset inside so the corners angle down, but towards the interior. I hate using words to describe images lol

@refusoagaino6824 5 лет назад

Five years and I didn't know the path doesn't have to be attached to the face or line to be extruded. It's a Yogi Berra moment. On the other hand, more "complex casework" we don't need, but it's good for laying out geothermal lines. The "reverse" FollowMe is similar to how Sketchup extrapolates a topographical sheet from a Google Earth *.png . That was another Yogi event.

@roddaman7545 Год назад

@10:44 - I’ve tried multiple times to create a curved solid (a rounded fireplace) using the follow me tool to extrude a simple recurve shape around a 90 degree arc. The result should look like 1/4 of an 14’ foot tall, inverted vase or jug. Each time, the extrude is funky, with a notch in the corner at the center of the arc because the extrude jumps outside the selected path at the top. The extrude looks fine at the bottom 6” but the whole solid is slightly wider at the top than on the bottom. The curved profile is clean and correct but the vertical edges of the resulting solid lean outward, outside the vertical plane at the radii of the 1/4 circle. It’s kinda bizarre. I’ve started over with new geometry, made sure the profile I’m extruding is 100% vertical and still, the same, weird result. Thoughts?

@jquehe 5 лет назад

I am pretty new to Sketchup's Follow Me tool, and almost every time I try to do a circular extrusion, I get the following message: "Warning the path you have selected does not start or end on the extrusion cross section. Unexpected results may occur." And it is correct, because the results are not what I want. If I try drawing a chain link using two parallel lines with a arc closing both ends, I get the warning and then a chain link with pieces missing in both end curves. I know it probably is a simple error on my part, but I just can't find it.

@nurix2167 3 года назад

I'm having a bit of an issue with this tool. The shape is good, but there are lines all over it. How do I fix it? I hope you can help me. Thanks.

@PhallacEye Месяц назад

I have two overlapping rectangles that are components. I have watched every tutorial i can find and I cannot get a clear answer on how to remove the overlapping material from one of the rectangles. I am using SketchUp Make 2017.

@trainnowio-solutions2676 5 лет назад

Is there a way to take all of the lines in your model and force them to lie on a horizontal face?

@Thesketchupessentials 5 лет назад

You could create a copy and flatten them with FredoScale - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uRatu9YJzIo.html

@Mattsana 3 года назад

Extrude along a line or spline just seem impossible with SketchUp. The Follow Me and Keep doesn't really provide great results at all even if it manages to keep model upright. Is that the only "follow me" plugin there is? Pipe Along Path doesn't really work since it can only do a perfect round along a line.

@ScottPeotter 4 года назад

So I create a group like a handrail that has a unique top rail and then intermediate rails at 4" OC (7 groups nested in a larger group). I create the line that I want to follow. Sketchup pro 2019 doesn't seem to allow me to select the railing group and then to follow the line. I can get rid of all the groups and individually use the tool for each one. But when I download or create a more complicated shape that doesn't work. It seems that tis tool should be able to be used with a group. WHat am I missing?

@Thesketchupessentials 4 года назад

I guess I don't quite understand the issue - The follow me tool only follows a single path, so it won't follow all or the rails at once...

@dayouth-ken7200 4 года назад

@DustyFixes Месяц назад

Hey, Justin. I had the follow me tool working just fine yesterday, but now when I select a path and then select the follow me tool, it un-selects the path. I've tried selecting the path first. Tried selecting the profile I want to follow the path. but, what ever I select gets un-selected when I try to activate the follow me tool. Help me understand what I'm doing wrong, please. As always thank you for your awesome videos.

@DustyFixes Месяц назад

Now I'm even more frustrated. I got it to work, but I don't know what I did. Now it won't work again.

@esm4porsche181 5 лет назад

Hi, great video. Buuuuut, I have a question, you used only 24 segments. I tried to make a Sheave with a radius of 15 and 106 segments. For the life of me, I cannot get that Follow Me function to work on that. How would you make a Sheave/Pulley that's as round (max segments) as possible???

@Thesketchupessentials 5 лет назад

The number of segments shouldn't affect this. Does it work if you have less segments?

@esm4porsche181 5 лет назад

@@Thesketchupessentials Thanks for your reply. When I use the original amount of segments, it works. Once I increase the amount, it starts messing up my Sheave. Here's a quick video to show the difference between 24 segments and 106 segments (With 24 segments it looks like I need it) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--g43TSdtGoM.html

@Thesketchupessentials 5 лет назад

Try scaling your object up about 5x, running follow me, then scaling it back down again. If your object is fairly small, SketchUp may be having trouble creating all the tiny little edges associated with a smoother curve...

@esm4porsche181 5 лет назад
