Awesome - glad they're helpful! :)

Thanks for watching!

Hi Felix - that's a good idea! Maybe I'll make a video about that! Thanks for watching!

@@Thesketchupessentials Nice video, you make me believe in SketchUp, let me join me to this request!!!

Hmmm...question 1 - I assume it is, but I haven't tried it, question 2 - yes they are, question 3 - i don't believe there's a built-in assembly that does this - I think the developer recommends that you use an extension like Double Cut (mindsightstudios.com/double-cut/) to cut the openings. Thanks!

You can lock tools to an axis using the arrow keys on your keyboard - I talk about that a bit in this video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qq6Ji6qlnZrdd6M.html - Thanks!

You can't unless your wall length is fixed - that's the whole point of the profiles - so they can run as far as your assembly requires

Hi Matthew! You definitely can - if you open up the assembler window, there's an icon shaped like a disk that you can click on to save the assembly to a folder of your choice. Does this help? Thanks for watching!

Yes, that helps. I haven't had the time to actually dig into this plugin yet, but after watching the video, I kept thinking of all the modeling implications to architectural drawings. It sounds like it can go fairly deep when you put in the right info.

I would say applying Profile Builder to deck construction would definitely be possible. I don't see why you couldn't set Estimator up to read the components that are created, but I haven't worked with it a whole lot, so I'm not sure exactly how that would work. Thanks for watching!

Thanks very much!

You mean on the corners? You could probably set it up so it places a different piece of wood on the corners

@@Thesketchupessentials thank you!:)

You could use it to create the doors, but you couldn't use it to animate them. Honestly, there are probably better tools for doing that unless you're creating a TON of bifold doors with varying widths...

Thoughts so. What tool would you recommend to build and animate multiple bifold doors? Ideally, I would like to put in the height and width and it creates them accordingly? I would be happy to talk to you privately about this if you prefer?

Hi Colin - these are good questions. Best as I can tell, it does not add in the corner studs to make custom corners, and will not modify your wall in a custom way when it butts up to another wall. It will work in metric - it adjusts based on what the units in your model are set to. Thanks for watching!

Good question, I really like to have answer about this too. Also Is it possible to edit the wall and move or add some studs?

I think so - you'd just model them and add them like you do the framing pieces. The trick would be figuring out how to get them to cut off into partial sheets. I'm pretty sure this is possible, but I'm not sure off the top of my head. Thanks!

TheSketchUpEssentials thanks for reply and thanks for your videos they are very informative

I can't remember for sure, but I might have covered something like that in this video - kzfaq.info?o=U&video_id=MCmW394TyMA - Thanks!

TheSketchUpEssentials there is no video showing in this link

This link is not working.

Is there something significantly different in version 3 you're having trouble with? In general, this tutorial would apply

@@Thesketchupessentials i want make an assembly from all kind of different walls. So I use for the top and bottom a profile so I can calculate the list with Quantifier. For the vertical beams I use components so I also can calculate. But for the inside or outside I need to use a sheet with a maximum measurement. Then the price don't come out the way I like. Sorry for my bad English but I'm from Holland.

Hi Amit - I guess I don't understand. What do you mean a pitch wall?

A wall which has a pitch like triangle.

Hi there - I'll add it to my list, but at the moment, I have a pretty long list of extensions already, so it could be a while. Thanks for watching!

Thanks very much!

Nope, sorry. Fusion 360, yes. SolidWorks no

I suppose it depends on what you're trying to do. When I'm not explaining it for a tutorial, I could set up the wall assembly in about 2 minutes, plus if I decide to change the stud spacing from 18" to 24" or something like that, I can change it with a single click. In addition, the ability to extrude multiple objects at once along a path AND make changes afterwards without having to re-extrude the assembly could be a big timesaver as well...

There are other "add-ons" that do the same with less input from the user. Whoever programmed this method wasn't familiar with the rich tools already available and the robust toolset included with Sketchup. Take you, for example, stud spacing isn't 18 inches on center, it's sixteen. So, it appears someone who doesn't know the program figured out a hard way to draw walls and someone who doesn't know construction is showing others how to do it the hard way. Other quick draw tools let the user select from a drop-down list or fill in a box to designate the stud spacing and other variables. All parameters are easily edited without all your lost time.I'm aware you lose time "instructing." That aside, you need too many steps to do a task. Learning the Sketchup "multiply & dvide" tool would be a great start for beginners. And Sketchup has a library of free instructional videos, just for construction. Learn those, then consider if more is needed.

...what?
