This is lovely for a ramp like curved faced building with incremental height. The best part is option of reversing the direction of curves height increment.

[@joshuatrainor6221]

Thanks Justin, this video has been an absolute blessing. I have a question however, how can you use this technique to shear into an object, as in to create a curved indentation into an object?? Been trying all day and I can’t seem to find a solution. Cheers

[@t-anhhd109]

Great. Great video❤️❤️❤️

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks - glad you liked it!

[@sepehrkhatami752]

hey, thank you so much for this, though one question: can this tool create ramps out of faces or is it just for edges?

[@fernandobranco6784]

Thank you!!!

THANKS A LOT!!!!

[@ishitaarya5338]

[@Messi10billy]

Hi, Justin thanks for the tutorial. Im having a problem with modeling out u shape ramp. So it starts with a straight ramp and has a u-turn also continuously sloping up. May I know the solution for this? So u shape ramp is continuously ramping up. Thank you

[@TianaT4]

THANK YOU!

[@rumeysaozdemir2495]

WOW great job.. thanks

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad you liked it!

[@moab1996]

sry for the noob question, but what's defined as curves? i tried using curvishear on a series of lines that line up as a curve but it's not recognised as a curve.

[@giangtv1432]

Hi there :)
Love your channel, its super helpful!
How do we create a curved ramp to be at a certain gradient? For example, in my country, a ramp gradient thats friendly for wheelchairs is 1:12. How can I create a ramp that implements this gradient? Is there a way?

[@jameschang7274]

good stuff !

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks James!

[@chrisnahadi6752]

may i Ask why the curve shear doesn't work like in the video
its appears that each curve extruded as a different curve

[@archam_avenue7657]

Hey can you tell me how can i divide my ramp surface into 3 surfaces..?

[@sakshimahadik7360]

HI there, thanks for your great tutorials.. I have followed the links and can't seem to find curvishear. Aside from Sketchucation and Extension warehouse is there another place I can download this tool for skp Pro 2021?

[@soccerulzz01]

Link works fine for me - goes directly to Fredo Tools

[@Camila-tn4dl]

Does it work with straight lines?

[@90kdj]

Hey i had a thought about how can we paste these ramps on contours using sandbox..... any ideas?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't understand - wouldn't you just...paste them?

[@angel_lovesid]

is it not available on sketchup??

[@cadengineer9047]

Please help me can't download on website sketchupucation . "Log in problem" every time with me

[@mayankrawat3252]

why is Curvishear not on sketchucation anymore ?

[@mariamalmisbkawy5764]

does anyone knows why the curvishear tool doesn't select the full curve it was working well at first then it started to select only a small sector of the curve

[@nagelieamorales-sanchez1801]

maybe you can try welding the curve first

[@somavateyouk2131]

its not working for me T.T can anyone help?

[@Makimaki304]

Can anyone help the curvishear is not working for me suddenly

[@articreat]

so what is the use of lib fredo in this video ...

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Without Lib Fredo Curviloft will give you an error and not run

[@articreat]

Okay thank you so much❤️

[@mohanachuthvarma6478]

Take line.....enter 4.10' and hit enter ....take other with length 4.11' hit enter
They are not 1 inch difference....can you tell me why.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Because that's not how inches work....For inches, 4'1" would be 4.08, and 4'2" would be 4.17. .01 does not equal an inch...

[@mohanachuthvarma6478]

@@Thesketchupessentials thank you.....but now I want a line with 4'10"......what value(in feet) I should enter in the measurements box

[@Thesketchupessentials]

4'10"

Hi
I watch your every video. Kindly tell me how i can use vray . And how i install vray free . Without fee . Not trial version

[@Thesketchupessentials]

There's no such thing as Vray Free

[@thebrooklyngardenclub225]

Dood you own Sketchup University far as Im concerned.

[@BISWAJITBISWAS-fe7iv]

Hlo sir...

[@BISWAJITBISWAS-fe7iv]

I have a problem... please can you solve this

[@MontagTheMagician]

Yeah, I have an older version of Sketchup. It won't let you download ANYTHING from the extension warehouse unless you update "for scurity purposes." What buII$hit. Then if you go direct to these web sites you hit a paywall. BuII$hit again. Now make another video on how to do this without extensions.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

You shouldn't have to use the SketchUp extension warehouse - that's not where these are hosted. And SketchUcation has free access, so there's no paywall there. That said, Curviloft has since been made a paid extension by the developer - that's his choice and I can't change that

[@MontagTheMagician]

@@Thesketchupessentials Well, Sandbox is hosted there and my other useful things. AND there's a way to do this with no app that takes two seconds. This video just over complicates things. ALL you have to do is take a curve and pull it up. then select one vertical end of it then select RESIZE TOOL and bring it down. Done.
