Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below! :)

[dgoddard]

That's pretty cool. Being a woodworker who enjoys classic stuff, I doubt I'll use this a lot. But it's always nice to have the knowledge. Thanks!

Good lord, I have been using Sketchup to make houses for almost 10 years. Just as a hobby. Some of the simple stuff you are doing, I never even knew was possible.

[youbarajsharma]

Your vides are so helpful... thanks you so much for putting them up.
I am still learning and often find all the solutions I need in your videos
One question - How do I hide/unhide all the tags at one go (rather than doing it individually), my project now has more than 120 tags and more are getting added, could you recommend any best practice on adding, managing tags please!

Nice tutorial! I have a 50 gallon drum, standing upright and I am putting a pipe into the side of it, horizontally, off-center, and I want to cut the hole for the pipe precisely (in real life)... So, once I extrude the pipe cut out of the drum, how do I print a flat representation of the hole created for the pipe, that, when printed, will look a bit like a teardrop shape, which I can then place as a template on my actual 50 gallon drum for cutting the hole?

hello! do i group the rectangle with the lines? or is that a separate grouping? I tried to make the rectangle a group but it doesn't have the option to do so. when I grouped it with the lines and tried to do the flowify, it said error.

[mithran]

flowify and curviloft seem very interesting, I'll try to look at those!

[luayhussein]

Can you do video about forged metal elements - monogram, currency???

What if I want to make a weird shape and add windows to that weird shape? Would it still work?

[willfield]

hi i want to just lay lines over the shape, and then concert those lines into tubes....how could i do this?

[menghakheng]

Dear Sir.
How can i have this plugin ?

[thcyprus]

What would be the best way to give some thickness to the "skins" you get with curviloft (so they are solids)?

[sirihanson]

I have a question! When I try to impose grid, nothing happens and when I run flowify, it says Input Error: Not enough input. I'm confused because I have redone the shape from scratch multiple times, and no dice. I was wondering if you had any input?

[katherineholland]

Hi, thanks so much for this video! I can't seem to find 'Curviloft' in the extension warehouse though. Is this still available?

[prakharmaharshi]

What's your motherboard's model number

[tejeshvanjarapu]

Can you please make a video about ornamation and how to do gothic style models

[lucasharvey]

Hi there, I'm following all your steps step by step, I've looked at everything that could go wrong but it still isn't working for me. A grid appears but my wooden slats disappear so when I place new slats on top and do absolutely everything on screen there is still no result. Any ideas?
