Hi Justin. I hope you truly appreciate what your work does for us. Not only you take our hands and teach us how to better use Sketchup, but you also research, test, compile and show us fantastic extensions - free or not - that really save us time and hustle. And all this you give us for free. You spread knowledge that makes our work and yes, our lives, ultimately better. You are awesome, and I'm happy to tell you that I've just become a patron. I wish I could contribute more, but I'm not able at this time. Thank you so much for everything. 💚
Thanks so much for watching! I'm really glad that something I'm doing is helping people - hopefully I can keep adding value in the future, and thanks for the support! :)
thank you Justin, your channel has made a difference in my work and abilities to work smarter ad faster, my client are super impressed. Thank you for what you have been doing over the years.
Your video's helped me out so many times so I really wanted to thank you for it!! I'm really having problems with uv mapping as you mentioned.. As a lot of people are trying out UE4 many encounter mapping issues in ue4 (UV mapping overlap and/or broken lightmaps) I would be really gratefull if you could make a video sometimes about this issue!
Well I'm not sure what I can do about this - I think this is really an issue that needs to be fixed as a part of the UE4 process, though I will admit I'm not really up to date on the absolute newest developments...
Hi Justin, that's a great list of plugins. I hope you could help me with something. I noticed in 1.38 you are extruding a curved surface with vector push pull. Unfortunately, when I try to do this my new face geometry follows the original face, opposing to your new face being "flat". I am trying to extrude some buildings off a curved terrain and they end up having curved ceilings. I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance, keep up the great work!
Hi kudos on your tutorials Concise and informative nice pacing very helpful. Question do you have any insight as to whether curve a loft will be available for 2019 version of sketch up?
Great video - really useful as always :) Clothworks was a cool one as well as soap skin - all good choices.. I clicked on here looking for an animator tool, is there any way to get a rendered animation.. Also, any ideas about ow I can create a walk around within a model (ie - if I have designed a building can I allow a client to use arrow keys and mouse to navigate around it? Thanks!
That would be clothworks Justin although I have to mention than the back face of say a curtain can create serious rendering problems in other rendering software such as Unreal Engine or Lumion. Thank you for this video!
Hmmm...I wonder if there's a way around that at this point? Maybe give them slight thickness with Joint Push Pull? That would probably cause other issues...
wow wow wow wow .. i dint know most of them but there are so many that im going to try out thank thank thank you ... ... i want to make you the 1st person i contribute to on Patron .. how dose it work if your from south Africa ? Lastly i wonder if the is an extension that makes ir easy to export to blender ?
As far as I know, Patreon works the same way in South Africa as everywhere else, though I'm not sure if I have any South African supporters yet or not :) - Unfortunately, I know very little about blender, so I'm not sure how much I can help on that one. It may have some kind of SketchUp importer...
hy i have been following you from very long u are doing great i learned soo much from you. But recently i tried to use curviloft flowify and other tool in sketchup 2021 its not working why can u give us alternative plugin which are free.
Justin, hopefully a quick question, easy to answer. I want to warp text. Many baseball teams have their names "warped" where lettering, like the Braves or the Dodgers. What extension do I use? I"m thinking Fredo, but not sure. thx
Depends on how you want to warp it. For something simple, think about FredoScale - ua-cam.com/video/HN_7D0NTv-E/v-deo.html - For something more complex, maybe Flowify - ua-cam.com/video/r-ltGNgZQGU/v-deo.html
can you please try and make a minimal surface i did it and it worked but it’s causing sketchup to crash and i’m not being able to do it in a bigger scale or export it to a rendering software (i used subd plugin to do it)
I just found out that there is an expiration for these extension and it says that I need to geta license, what should I do to use the extension again for free?
Hi Justin. I'm seriously having trouble installing Curviloft, from the Extension Manager it appears installed but I can't see the tab or window so I can use it (I've got Sketchup 2016). How can I put it into function properly? I'd gladly appreciate it!
Hey Justin . I have some a problem with some of plugıns such as curviloft , joıntpushpull tool ... I already downloaded them but they don't seen on screen so I cant use them do you hava any video about fixing . ?,
hello justin I am trying to use vertex extension I have downloaded. i have a trial version and am having difficulty finding how to activate. Ive looked in the folders in application seems wrong and doesnt work either. please help thanks.
I have an issue with exporting. When sketchup exports and does triangulation, everything gets horribly broken. I get triangulation that spans surfaces that were not surfaces, creating surfaces that were never in the model. I also get horrible "normal flipping", which matters when other programs try to blend reflections across surfaces. EG, a square triangulated with one flipped normal will virtually be trying to blend the front and the back surface on the same surface that should be flat. As a mirror, this results in a twisted reflection where the normals converge. However, if I manually triangulate all my surfaces, none of this happens when exporting, because there is nothing being triangulated. So all normals are correct and there are no "made-up", surfaces being generated. Normals are determined by the clockwise or counterclockwise order of the triangles. In the triangulation export option. Apparently it is not retaining the order, leading to flipped normals and the creation of ghost surfaces in the process... So, is there a plug-in that will triangulate the model, in advance to the horrible, broken, "triangulate" that happens in sketchups exporting process? (Happens on almost all exporting, but the results are inconsistent. Rarely do I ever get clean exports where all these flat surfaces MUST be triangulated. Same for non-triangulated, which my other programs can handle, but sketchup creates ghost surfaces and holes.)
I'm trying to find an extension that lets me transform (distort, warp, etc) a PNG/JPG image I imported into sketchup. I can only find how to manipulate objects that were built in sketchup but thats not what I need. Can anyone help?
@@Thesketchupessentials Brother for now I am beginner and I am confused. I really don't know what to do . I really impressed with your sketchup videos. But I need to be little experience or there won't be anything even spending $. thank you for your reply and I appreciate for giving your precious time . I will be waiting for your reply.

With a Straight down curtain that works but wit a more classic folded one Skechup goes haywire if you try that :-)
Thanks, a lot Justin
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for the video, you know some free plugin to simplify the geometry of a model
Nothing free - your best bets are Skimp or Transmutr - both paid
its really helping. greeting from jancok island
Curious - where is that island located?
work! Cheers
Muito show 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
will you be doing a list for 2021. just asking.
ขอบคุณมากสำหรับความรู้ดีๆ ผมได้ความรู้เพิ่มขึ้นที่ติดตามคุณ

hoping for this video for long ago ! thanks .
btw, you could add the text editor in this list.
Hmmm...interesting. I do like that extension, but top 10?
Then the title would be top 11 extensions :P
😂

That's a good one too - thanks!
wow man ,, that's awesome

Awesome really!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you.

Jesus, these plugins are GAME CHANGERS!!!
Yup
try...go to windows
Thanks jon
Well my name is Justin but you're welcome!
huhuhu thank you so muchhh :*
👍
All those plugins were free on this video you introduced ?
Yes - clothworks has a paid version with more features, but these should all be free
realy helpfull
:)
Change the "Program" from Agressive TE to Analog Base 1 TE inside the GMS setup equlizer panel..
Not sure about top 10 but in top 20 there could've been Fredo Round Corner, Bezier Spline, Vertex Tools & SubD, Zorro2 and selection toys.
Nice list - those are all great extensions, and most probably would have made my top 20 :)
Hi Justin, once I have downloaded the extensions, how do I insert them on sketchup?
install extension button in extension manager
Please help me out i download curviloft but the tab is not showing up. Its not even in view ->toolbars
have you installed them?
can you please try and make a minimal surface i did it and it worked but it’s causing sketchup to crash and i’m not being able to do it in a bigger scale or export it to a rendering software (i used subd plugin to do it)
does "clothworks" plugin really free??
the video showing that it has to buy for $29
He says there is a free version and a paid version.
Thanks so much for tNice tutorials bro
I just found out that there is an expiration for these extension and it says that I need to geta license, what should I do to use the extension again for free?
What is the yellow green tab that appears in all the plugins...
hi, Justin are these plugins working in Sketchup make version.
If you mean the desktop free 2017 version, probably a few of them
Hi Justin, i have sketchup 2019 and i am new to it, some of the plug-ins you presented are not there. how can i have it?ex.Fredo scale.
You have to download and install extensions - that's why they're "extensions" rather than features...
