Even though I've used sketchup for so many years I did know you could right click on the group while in the command to select the face. I always copied the path into the group first...what a time saver! Thanks Aaron for the refresher.
Thank you. I learned some things about the follow me and a new plug in today called the weld plug in. For the last two days I struggled with a profile design for a fine piece of built in cabinetry and the usage of follow me. Just could not get the follow me to work all because of a smoothed curve. I figured it out, but now I have to go back and Download the Weld extension and weld all the curves to make them without all the lines. Plus that Weld would have saved me a day. I have so much to learn
Being a newbie to sketchup. These videos have helped me to learn a great deal about the software and how to use it. I'm a cabinet and furniture maker so going to a client with a drawing on sketchup vs hand drawings on paper is a game changer. I still need to learn how to make build plans from my drawings. So any videos on that would be great.
Wow...what a time saver...I use Follow-me so badly... never sure why it works sometimes and others times not... sure its just me having fun but seriously!!!...this changes a lot and I had to giggle to myself (yes grownass men giggle when appropriate, not just schoolgirls...) at how this little piece of info just made using this amazing tool so much more predictable and maybe dare I say it...EASIER!! I am gonna go try it out right now! Thanks a bunch G
The same follow me techniques are useful for doing edge profiles on furniture but they become part of a component instead of a separate group. I like the way you made the profiles. Making profiles from a router bit or a hollow and round planes would also interest me quite a bit (pun intended).
Can you do a part 2 where you run a stair rail up one wall, turn the corner and go up the next wall and still keep the proportion right? And how do you turn it into a railing end where it turns into a circle around the top of a post? 🤔
Hello Aaron, thanks for the valuable info. so I followed the steps and it came inside out which means the flat surface is facing the open space while the other decorative face is facing the wall, do you know what the problem could be?
IF you hare having trouble you may want to consider posting your model to the forum with a request for assistance (forums.sketchup.com). It is super tough to trouble shoot modeling issues here in the RUclips forums.

same here!
The Edit Group tip for the Follow me is gold! That's going to safe a lot of time exploding things and watching out for things sticking.
I want to "thumbs-up" x 1000. So many revelations, and so personably delivered. Thank you, Aaron!
This was super helpful. Especially the "Weld Edges" tip. I've struggled with this !
Always great to see other people's techniques, always learn something useful. Thanks Aaron.
This lesson is important, and I need it in my work, knowing that I have not started until this moment in the program

Amazing. Thank you sir.
nice on Aaron, thanks.
I would like you do this for some buildings in the facade
спасибо!

what do i do if my crown molding trace is not allowing me to do follow me or push/pull? whenever i try, It shows a 🚫
Hello Aaron, thanks for the valuable info.

Try reversing the face before you run Follow Me.
It doesn't seem like you can use follow me with grouped geometry in SketchUp for Web. Is that true, or am I doing something wrong?
You wouldn’t be able to do it on desktop either unless you right click inside the group whilst having the lines selected
@@haskl4 That's what I tried to do. I followed the steps described in the video.
I've followed your every step but the follow me tool wont work for my crown moulding.

you make it understandable for a novice, and for that i THANK YOU :)
