Hi, i have a problem, maybe two. 1. When i find the error with solid i can’t use any command, i need to exit from extentions to modify my Group. 2. (last but not least) When i draw the line that close the Group for Created a Solid this no work, i make a counturn of the hole, but this step no work, the only method to close the hole wiht a single line it’s explode, but it’s impossible next have a solid. I not understading why.

@mukondeleliratshilavhi5634 5 жыл бұрын

this will work for only 3axie cnc 1st you need to know the thickness of the board you will be using ( you will add that to the thickness option on the slicer plugin ) 2rd you need to select the flatten option on the plugin. 3rd select the flatten groups make them in a 2d profile 4rh draw the board size of your CNC 5th place each part into the board ( make sure you understand where it will cut 1st ) 6th delete everything but the parts you will cut make sure you don't have groups and if you can weld ( with the weld plugin) all the lines together 7th export the file as a DXF that should work if not you will need to head to AutoCAD 1st open your file 2rd select all and purge all lines 3rd select a part and join lines 4th move to 0 ;0 points then 5th export file as dxf

If you want to add a hole in this bench, probably the easiest way is to do it before you slice the bench. More info on cutting holes in objects in SketchUp here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8Bllbl9ma6yhWg.html

Justin, great videos. How would one create models for liquid architecture? Currently I am creating the internal structures and then adding facades or skins. I was looking at some of Zaha Hadid's buidlings and wondering how they modeled them.

@Thesketchupessentials 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Dennis - do you have images of what you're talking about? Each building is approached differently depending on what you're trying to create - some you'd approach with an extension like curviloft, others with an extension like flowify, and still others with tools like Artisan or Vertex Tools or SubD - it just depends. Thanks!

There are many types and shapes. I'm looking that these as inspiration. I just tried creating a spline and using curviloft but it locked up.

@Thesketchupessentials 6 жыл бұрын

You may want to try either the Curviloft Skinning option (the third option in the tool), or maybe something like Soap Skin and Bubble. That said, especially for the first image, that's a fairly difficult shape to make. They discuss something similar in this thread (forums.sketchup.com/t/help-with-hyperbolic-curves/16523), but I'm not 100% sure how I'd make something like that in SketchUp. They probably used a program more like Rhino for that building. Thanks!

@Z-add 6 жыл бұрын

Since sketchup doesn't have true curves. You shouldn't directly go to cnc from sketchup. You need something like vectric in between sketchup and cnc.

@Thesketchupessentials 6 жыл бұрын

My understanding (and I haven't tested this) is if you export your curves to something like DWG or DXF, they get exported as true curves. I don't have a ton of CNC experience, but don't you have to export to an external software anyway to do the actual routing? You can't just do that straight out of SketchUp, can you? Thanks

@benculley6328 6 жыл бұрын

You are correct. You would say export the file in dxf format making sure the camera view is set to parallel projection into cnc software such as vectric where you create a cutting tool path for each shape.

@jamesbolger1691 Жыл бұрын

I have done all the things you described in your video and they just don't work, its ok sculpting your organic surface BUT when you go to lay your project flat it doesn't work!!! SketchUp doesn't smooth out the curves, instead all you get is a load of facets. in short it's just a big octagon instead of a smooth curve. I have exported this to my CNC machine and it looks terrible. Please don't tell people SketchUp can do things it's just not equipped for. BS!!!
