Aaron I totally agree with you. Understand Sketchup first, and all its nuances before using a plugin. Plugins help speed up your workflow provided you know what you are doing. I used Sketchup on projects for over 6 months before installing my first plugin.
I think one part that's not touched on enough in this video is how some extensions (or too many of them) can slow down or even break SketchUp. I am consciously picky on what extensions I need and install for that very reason.
I fully agree with you Aaron. Get comfortable with Sketchup before moving on to extensions. Otherwise you are trying to run before you can walk, as the saying goes. Perhaps the only exception to this (imho) would be the Solid Inspector extension. When I was learning Sketchup, I would fault find my models by setting the view to X-ray mode, then using Solid Inspector. Any faults found are shown in red and easily seen in X-ray mode. I found it a good way to learn my mistakes (e.g. internal faces, reversed faces and stray edges, to name but 3).
Well said Aaron! Knowledge of the "native" tools is important, as is Plugins. The use of both is very helpful! When a project is limited with the time involved, a Plugin can save time, where when a plugins doesn't work fully, the native way to create the part is crucial. Keep making great videos like this one. Great job!
Thanks Aaron! Another great video. I like the mix of some detailed coverage of extensions but a good grounding in being able to use the native tools. I like to use shortcuts a lot and I recently had someone point out to me that it's good to know where to create actions with the menus because you might not always be on your own computer with it's shortcut profiles.
Mixing it up, Aaron! Focus on creating content for what Sketchup is best known to do in my opinion. There are a lot of tools that can be used to create robes, pencils, cubs etc. Sketchup is unique to Architectural/Civil/Landscape work. I'd love to see the Sketchup crew focusing more on that and incorporating extensions as you see them fit/needed to be used. Thanks, Aaron!
When using TrueBend the arcs in the I-beam are not welded but separate individual line segments ...leaving one to, perhaps, redraw a circle to get a radius and length report for the MAKING of this beam in REAL LIFE. With Native Tools the reporting info is already there.
Parole sante! Io ho iniziato con SketchUp 7.0 e le estensioni non le conoscevo ancora, e da autodidatta ho imparato ad usarlo come mamma l'ha fatto 😂. Giuste osservazioni. Sei sempre molto puntuale.
+1 for Medeek BIM. I am a former framer, now home designer. SketchUp is very powerful. (I'm from an AutoCAD, Chief Architect, SoftPlan background). Nathan's extensions are PRO-level.
I would like more content showing how to do with native tools what some of the most popular extensions do. JointPushPull, Box Stretching, and Material Tools come to mind.
It should also be emphasized that the excess in the use of extensions, many of which are very basic, subtract or decrease the ability of oneself in the management of geometry and spatial-conceptual management in design.
That's a lot of separate comments for the same question. But in short: Sketchup isn't suitable for animating objects. It can have camera animations, but if you want an object moving, bending, bouncing, whatever, sketchup isn't your goto program.
@@AzeemKhan-oz4eo yes like I said, if you want to animate the object SketchUp isn't really suitable for it. Other software is way better for animations.

This is true for almost everything in our lives,
Having the tool doesn't make you pro unless you know the fundamentals.
Thanks Aaron!

Really great video!! Thanks!!!
Is there any way I can share with you the video that I have seen of the animation
I have seen all the videos on RUclips inside Sketchup but there is no other video on how to bend paper and straighten it.
What plug in and how to install it Brother
Всë верно сказано. Сначала нужно научиться работать со стандартными инструментами, а потом искать расширения. 👍
It should also be emphasized that the excess in the use of extensions, many of which are very basic, subtract or decrease the ability of oneself in the management of geometry and spatial-conceptual management in design.
Totally agree
Just like in animation we see a paper going round and then straightening, so to make an animation of a paper I am facing that problem.
The map comes from above on the table and then becomes straight. I have to make this kind of animation.
That's a lot of separate comments for the same question. But in short: Sketchup isn't suitable for animating objects. It can have camera animations, but if you want an object moving, bending, bouncing, whatever, sketchup isn't your goto program.
@AlanoTekashi I want to make an animation of the way the page comes from the top and goes straight to the table.
@AlanoTekashi I can contact you in some other way
@@AzeemKhan-oz4eo yes like I said, if you want to animate the object SketchUp isn't really suitable for it.

👍
i also do sketchup that
I have 20 extensions because I made Sketchup to act like Maya. or max. or blender..even cinema.and is good...
I will send you the animation, you have to make your own animation.
SketchUp is a 3D modeling software, not an animation tool.
Roll a piece of paper and then straighten it
