Joint Push Pull - SketchUp Extension

What is SketchUp?

SketchUp is a 3D modeling program that can be used to create and edit 2D and 3D models with a patented Push Pull method. The push-pull tool allows designers to extend a 2D flat surface into a 3D shapes. For example, using the push pull method, a square plane may be extended into a cube.

The program includes drawing layout functionality, surface rendering, and supports third-party plugins from the Extension Warehouse. The app has a wide range of applications, including in the worlds of architecture, interior design, landscaping, and video game design. Sketchup has also found success with people who want to create, share, or download 3D models for use with 3D printers.

This skechup plugin is compatible with sketchup 2016.

Why Joint Push Pull Extension?

Now, the question arises why should one bother to use the Joint Push -Pull extension when already a push pull functionality is available. Well the present push pull function is limited on flat surfaces, that is, it can be used to extend a curved surface smoothly. Moreover, the present push pull can only extend a single flat surface at a time.

Joint Push Pull is an amazing extension by Fredo6 that solves these problems. It allows us to extend multiple flat surfaces at a time and also extends a curved surface smoothly. By smoothly it means, in SketchUp, a curved surface is nothing but numerous smaller flat surfaces put together. Joint Push Pull extends all these smaller flat surfaces together and smoothens them out to give a curved finish.

Other than that, it also has several other tools like ?Round Push Pull?, ?Vector Push Pull etc?. Round push pull is used to extend a surface and rounding off the edges at the end, Vector push pull is an equally useful tool, which deserves its own blog as it can?t be covered in a few lines.
