A series of components can be quickly placed in a predefined arrangement, perfect for balustrades like the one shown above. This free SketchUp plugins Among its many functions, this hugely useful plugin enables you to create an array along a path. This makes it a breeze to construct a sweeping staircase or a perfect stack of Jenga blocks!

This free SketchUp plugins Memory Copy allows you to copy not only geometry, but also transformations such as the resizing or rotation of said geometry - the tool can “remember” your last move and duplicate it. It raises the possibility of creating domes, arches or free-flowing organic shapes constructed from “weaved” elements or mesh. This free SketchUp plugins Sketchy FFD adds a “control cage” to an object, allowing you to create complex curved, forms from gridded surfaces. We think it is quite useful to define seams, seals, springs, tensioners and cables. A dialog window lets you choose numerous parameters to create the final shape. This free SketchUp plugins Created by 3dalbertsoft, this plugin allows you to create a helical turbine by selecting a curve and a predefined shape in SketchUp. Developed by the user SLBaumgartner, this plugin allows you to calculate and draw angles on the surface of a volume. This free SketchUp plugins seems so basic that it’s surprising this wasn’t already included with Sketchup, but someone actually took the time to program a plugin to fix it.

Jim Foltz’s Trim and Keep and Eneroth’s Solid Tools fix that but because they both use the native Solid Tools as a base, they also require the pro version of SketchUp. Intersect Faces leaves components as components so editing one copy results in other instances getting the same treatment as you would expect. One thing to keep in mind with the Solid Tools as they currently exist is that they convert any components they modify into groups. You just use the solid groups/components.

Of course with Subtract, you don’t need to worry about that. In order to get the same result as Subtract, you need to place the surface from the sphere inside the box group/component.

If you open the box for editing and use Intersect Faces>With Model, the intersections with the sphere will cut the faces of the box but, you won’t have the spherical surfaces in the box group/component. If you just use Intersect Model with the sphere and box groups/components and don’t open either for editing, the intersection will be created outside of both and modify neither of them. They kind of do the same thing but there are a couple of important differences. Do I really need to purchase pro just for the solid tools?

I really like how the solid tools work and hate to loose them after my 30 day pro trial is up. Is Subtract tool (SU Pro) truly the same thing as “Intersect with Model” for SU Make?Īre there any Extensions or Plugins that do the same thing as the Solid Tools that I could use with SU Make? I can seem to do the same thing using Intersect with Model, but it takes a few more clicks.Īlso to get there with “Intersect with Model” I’m removing just the top half of the sphere first and then a circle face, or is it truly the second half of the sphere I’m removing? So I can put a sphere half way down into the top of a cube and then use the subtract tool to cut out half a sphere shape into the top of that cube with just a few clicks. Then along with that it says, “In SketchUp Make, use Intersect with Model instead.” I have been playing around with both the Subtract tool and the Intersect with Model.Īt this URL it leads me to believe the two do the same thing.Īs it list the Subtract as Pro feature and says, "One solid removes part of another and is deleted."
