Joint Push Pull Sketchup 2021 =link=

Deep Guide: Joint Push Pull for SketchUp 2021 1. What is Joint Push Pull? Joint Push Pull (by Fredo6) is an advanced extension that overcomes SketchUp’s native limitation of only extruding flat faces perpendicular to their plane. JPP allows you to:

Extrude curved, organic, or triangulated surfaces. Push/pull multiple faces at once in different directions. Create shells, offsets, and rounded extrusions. Work with non-planar faces (e.g., terrain, draped surfaces).

Note for SketchUp 2021 : JPP requires LibFredo6 (also by Fredo6) as a dependency. Ensure you install the versions compatible with SketchUp 2021 (typically LibFredo6 v12.x or later).

2. Installation (SketchUp 2021) Method 1 – SketchUcation (Legacy) Joint Push Pull Sketchup 2021

Install SketchUcation Tools extension manager. Search for "Joint Push Pull" and "LibFredo6". Download and install both. Restart SketchUp.

Method 2 – Manual RBZ

Download JointPushPull_vX.X.X.rbz and LibFredo6_vX.X.X.rbz from Fredo6’s official site or SketchUcation. In SketchUp 2021: Window → Extension Manager → Install Extension (choose each .rbz). Restart SketchUp. Deep Guide: Joint Push Pull for SketchUp 2021 1

3. Core Concepts | Concept | Explanation | |---------|-------------| | Base face | Original face(s) selected before extrusion. | | Normal direction | Average direction for non-planar selections. | | Thickness mode | Creates a solid shell (offset inward + outward). | | Vector mode | Extrudes in a custom direction (not just normal). | | Follow mode | Extrudes along a path or vector. | 4. The Tools (Detailed) 4.1 Normal Push Pull (Default) JPP allows you to: Extrude curved, organic, or
