Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below! :)

[@destructiveeyeofdemi]

Hey Justin, thanks as always for your clear presentations. I noticed that you use keyboard shortcuts often. Would you consider doing a video on the most useful shortcuts that you use in your workflow? Take care. Louis from Cape Town SA.

If i had older Fredo plugins, and copy them in the plugins folder of the newest Sketchup, would they work?

[@user-yh7eb1kv9v]

Can Sketchup do the layout and measurements and placement for the king stud and the braces to build the trusses? when you have a span of 30 feet and a 8/12 roof pitch for each one of the roof trusses that we’re wanting to 3D print each one of the trusses in GeoPolymer mortar instead of using wood or metal studs at the job site so we can have structural engineered concrete roof truss that will meet or exceed any city, state and International Building Code (IBC) requirements? We are trying to find the right software so we can build each truss at the job site

Fredo tools are love.. they basically make SketchUp tick..

[@peterplus2001]

Hay Justin, I noticed you stopped your Rhino 3D tutorials, do you consider Sketchup better, more useful, practical or easier than Rhino for architecture? Many thanks.

[@ricciannelomongo9181]

hey, justin. so curviloft can no longer be used for free, is there any other way we can create and design trusses with free extensions?
