Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about SketchPlus in the comments below! :)

A lot of nice tools to work with in our models, thanks for the video.

Great video once again. I love sketchplus. It seems to have a lot of tools in one place that are missing. There also seems a lot of overlap with other tools. Are any of these tools better?

Thanks Justin, can't believe I am just finding this plugin, this will save me a TON of time. Great job spelling it all out here, bought the lifetime license via your link. Well done and keep up the great vids!

When there are tools like this, which extend other tools, they should have the option to "include native tools" in the tool-bar. That way, all selection tools are together, for instance. I hate having to go through different tool-bars to find all the specific similar tools. Great set of NEEDED tools that should already be in SketchUp.

I just wish they would fix the hyper-zooming and orbiting issue when you don't focus on a specific object. Also, something keeps locking-up the tools and stopping any mouse-function or other tools from working, unless you hyper-click until you see the rotation/orbit cursor. You can't hit any keyboard shortcuts or even manually select a new tool, when it locks-up. I think it happens most with the draw-line and move tool. The two most used tools.

Hello.
How to create a convex screen on an old TV? - the middle is convex, and the edges are smooth, do it without plugins, or with free plugins.

Justin, does nudge work in pixels, or inches? I need architectural accuracy--nudging by 6" for a jamb spacing, or 4.5" for instance would be very handy. Even 12" increments would be nice for plate heights, headers, eaves etc.

Sketchplus roadmap says it will add wall, door and window tool as well. Hopefully they will be dynamic door and windows.

Instant lifetime purchase. The Component Finder, by itself, is already an amazing tool. But to get that, plus everything else?!? Pffff. Take my money!

[rickoikoo]

sorry if my question is not relevant, do you know a plugin to update several separate files in one file? I forgot the name of the plugin, (similar to the "proxy component" plugin but that's not it)

if anyone knows, thank you very much

case example: I created a bedroom, living room, and bathroom in 3 different files combined in 1 main skp file. every time there is a change in the bedroom, the main skp file can be updated automatically or with the press of a button.

I have Bool Tools from the same developers. Kinda expensive and not so reliable.

Dude, I love the content, but I have a strong suggestion. Work on your speaking, please. You've created a career here that requires you to speak.
If you listen objectively to any of your own videos, you'll find probably 30% of your words repeated and redundant. For example at 0:27 "what this is gonna contain is this is gonna contain..."
It would really improve your content.
