How to create organic shapes with native tools in SketchUp - Skill Builder

Ғылым және технология

We hear time and time again that organic modeling is not possible in SketchUp unless you use extensions. The extensions are awesome - and can be super helpful, but there is a way you can create some decent, flowy shapes using only native tools SketchUp. Follow along as we show you how to do some native organic modeling.

    @@AaronMakingStuff Good point Aaron, I stand corrected. On a connected note, let's suppose I am tracing a curved object like in your video, but only using the line tool. As you move along the outline, SU insists on inferencing axis and endpoints as usual. However, in this case I actually want to turn this snap off, so I can make small deviations. Is this possible?

    Lawrence Cuthbert I generally use the arc tool or the bezier extension to draw shapes like this. To avoid “over inferencing” I generally just zoom in closer... close enough that the point on the reference image is closer to your cursor than the inferences point.

    Question: instead of making vertical reference lines and pulling the smaller face (out of the 3) from right to left, wouldn't it be faster to make horizontal references and drag the biggest face from bottom to the top? You would do it much quicker then. I hope I am being clear. Let me know, if I am mistaken in my suggestion.

    Hi Aaron, In my humble opinion I think this method is not very efficient. You can easily create such organic forms in other CAD programs by using "Loft" or "Network Patch" I think it's possible to create a model like this in SketchUp using the same CAD methods with the free extension, Fredo Curviloft. It's a very powerful extension.

  • @AaronMakingStuff

    4 жыл бұрын

    This is absolutely possible using other methods! I like to say that anything that you do in SketchUp can probably be done a half dozen other ways, too! The challenge here stemmed from a Live Modeling session where ONLY native tools were used to create specific organic shapes. This was the best (and least painful) method using only Sketchup native commands!
