I was hoping this video would help me, but I think I have a different problem. The wall that I am trying to cut a window hole through was not drawn with the RECTANGLE tool...it was drawn with the LINE tool. As a result, the wall is 4" thick at one end, and 4 7/8" thick at the other end. The PUSH/PULL tool cant' line up with the other face perfectly and is not cutting through. Is there a way to do it?
I'm not sure why I'm getting a different result, but I'm trying to cut out openings in grouped walls; double clicked and no matter what I try it won't work. The face of the otherside of the wall remains. Frustrating.
Do the walls have to be grouped to get this to work? My push pull WILL NOT push any windows or doors out no matter what I do. It extracts it into one large block or just insets it but does not blow it out. I've tried typing 6", 7", even 8" and it will not work. I even redrew the wall twice and used the line tool and the rectangle to see if that made a difference and it will not blow these out. I'm getting so frustrated with this!
Would have been great to explain the "Cut opening" function of components which dynamically cuts holes through surfaces without having to redo everything if placement needs to change.
Darn, I thought you were going to say how to use the cut opening when creating a component to cut through a double sided wall (seems to work on single plane walls)
UPDATE: If you're the kind that first puts imported windows on your walls then cut the holes behind them later; for the window that has failed to have a hole cut behind it, make sure the shape you cut around that window is slightly bigger than the window placed, then later adjust it with the move tool so it disappears behind that window. After, select that adjusted shape behind and extrude it as explained here👆. IT WILL DEFINITELY WORK!
Brilliant! Thank you so much- I´m very new to sketchup so I´ve been spending hours trying to work out why it didn´t work cutting holes in my walls today when it worked yesterday. Exploading it first was the thing that did the trick, but ungrouping the object did not however. Do you have any idea why it did not work with ungrouping the object and selecting the wall face- is it because the walls are connected if you´ve made them from a pushed/pulled rectangle? And, would you mind me asking what the explosion does to an object? Is it like loosing the connections between everything in the object? Again- as I said in my comment last time- your videos are brilliant. I have learned soo much really fast from watching them.
For the third case, rather than exploding the group prior to the push-pull, delete the face (and edges) outside the group, then enter the group and use 'Paste in Place', then push-pull from inside the group.
I mean, the example was really to show that the front and back faces all have to be raw geometry, but yes, copy pasting the raw geometry of the other wall into the group would work as well
@@Thesketchupessentials Understood, it was just a good sample to discuss the difference between 'Paste in Place' and just plain, old 'Paste' (where the picked location may not be where the user intends). But still a good reference video :)
If you have a wall, and the back side is in a group but not the front. And you want a window all the way through. Select the window, copy the window, open the group on back side, and Past in Place. Now delete the face in the window. Sometimes the last think I want to do is Explode a part.
Hi, I'm big fan of your video's. Just started with sketchup as my first 3d design software. I started 3d design (or at least i'm trying) because of my model train hobby. I found some 3d trains, which were made in sketchup, but I don't know how to get these ready for 3d printing. Any tips/ideas? kind regards, Steven
What infuriates me is how when you're trying to cut through a SINGLE face and the lines will show up on one side but on the other side they fade in and out and you can't make the wall and the window two separate faces. And you cant reinforce the faded unclear lines because then the snap to function won't work on the corners. Show us why if you draw a square on a single face (NOT doubled up ones like these walls) the inside and the outside of the box will stay one single face and you can't select the inside of the square???? this has been annoying me for years. I have a wall with THREE windows. TWO of them separate fine, no problem. I go to add the THIRD window and it's screwed up. Won't separate or penetrate or cut out. Nothing. ????
@@Thesketchupessentials Yes I did - the start up video's sketchup has with their program says I should always group everything after I draw it. Can I ungroup walls after grouping them? I tried exploding and that did not work either. Sorry I am a newbie - but I love this program!
@@rodjeheber5774 I don't understand. Exploding is how you ungroup geometry. But if you want to edit grouped geometry, just double click on your wall to go into the group and edit it
@@Thesketchupessentials I am following your directions near the end of your video Justin. I am able to click on the wall or in the box (opening) I've drawn but when I go to the inside of the wall and right click the explode option is not available.
Sir, how do I see my sketchup file preview? Whenever I do a modeling and save a file, it shows the symbol of SketchUp. The preview of the model inside it is not visible.
Reinstall SketchUp, this happens if you uninstall eg 2020 and leaving 2017. The association is with the 2020 version. If you reinstall the 2017 it will associate the skp files to the current prog version
Thank you Sir. Now I think every one use the sketch-up not an auto cad because i love this Software and Autocad is old Software . by the way i can understand the Autocad , So Can anyone let me know what do we do in Autocad ? Does we make Maps on that software , does anyone knew a learning lesson related with Autocad for beginners like me then let me know down in the comment . I face this Problem when ever i try to cut my Door Every time in my project model and it's not cutting , also i see when you a Door Component then it's also not cut the door when you make a room , So I also face a problem when ever i Color the wall area with the Glass material it also fill the door but i separate both these thing then i never going to success to cutting the door so i use this technician in my 2021 software , Lets see what,s gonna happen tomorrow ? One Problem i still facing and I wanted to ask every time but forgot , whenever i put a Content in the model then my Mouse pointer or Courser show me a Ring Sign for 14 seconds to 1 minute like this 👉 loading something after Every 15 minutes later but this Mouse Pointer makes me slow and also my work is Slow so , I wanted to ask you , How Much Ram and Hard disk Need for Sketch-up run Smoothly at least ? Anyone Please Answer the question . 🙏

right click on the wall, click edit group then draw the hole and cut it
It worked for me.
Me too. I've watched so many videos on this and it will not work for me
@@amandagates8826 same. i dont even have groups but it just wont happen.
This is happening for the newer versions of SketchUp
@@ovileenadas985 yeah its so annoying
Thank you dude, that explode trick just saved me from insanity

Same here. I'm starting to think this doesn't work in newer versions of Sketchup.
Clear and well explained as always. One question is I use explode quite a bit but should I be regrouping after?
Hey Justing, thanks a lot for teaching us... I was struggling with this situation !!!
Happy to help!

But when ever i put the Door shape empty component on wall it ain't Cut. in 2021 Sketch-up Software.☹

Wow. I couldn't extrude a circle because my rectangle face was 0,004deg down, only on one side
Thanks this was a great help - I am just starting with SketchUp...
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you
Thanks, New sub
You've inspired many Justin
Glad I could help! :)
Thank you again
Thank you. It helped!
Hey thanks Justin bhau I'm struggling for single window cut👍👍
Well hopefully the video helped
I was really wrestling with this one, but seems the issue was I Grouped all interior wallls. The moment I exploded them, this started to work.
Thanks a lot. You solved my problem.
@@ricardozk I think double click on group or right click and choose edit group allows to do this without exploding.
@@tanellaan Ok thanks.
Thank you,it works!
Thanks 👍Helped a lot..

@@stevefrawley9756 Gotcha - I should actually make a video about this function - it's a huge timesaver :) Thanks!
Thanks a Lot
thank you!
thankyou
Thanks A lot!
Both of my walls are raw surface but still couldnt open a opening
If you have a wall, and the back side is in a group but not the front. And you want a window all the way through. Select the window, copy the window, open the group on back side, and Past in Place. Now delete the face in the window. Sometimes the last think I want to do is Explode a part.
Sure - that works too
Thank you soo much 😭❤️
I can't get my doors and door frames to push/pull correctly..they stay a flat plane and just move rather than filling the doorway
I'm having troubles to cut out window in shipping container face as it is not flat at all...
Anyone could help me with this?
thank u so much
how do we make a hole or door in a dome?

Sounds like you might be drawing on grouped geometry?

i'm literally having the same problem rn and i'm about to throw my laptop away
thank u
thank you so......much
Plz make a video for poco header solution in lumion 10....
I don't know what this means....
How does my wall change so that it is NOT raw geometry? I can cut holes in walls all day long and then out of the blue it stops working!
Sounds like you grouped it
