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.

Great work! That's one of the thing I have to do at work. This video just show me a new more simple and reliable method of getting it done.
Great tutorial thank you ...learning from scratch, so these short films are brilliant for creating my balustrade models
Wow!! Ive seen you use push/pull resize method before, but this was a perfect example to show the process in detail and the incredible result it can have. Thank you so much for sharing as always.
This was a very useful tutorial. I also would never have considered SketchUp for models with double curved surfaces. And this tutorial is concise and easily understood. Thank you.
Thank, this is great. I know I have done things like this in the past, but great to have a reminder of how to do it. Love it.
Great tutorial thanks - learning so much about how powerful Sketchup is!
This is the video I have been searching for long, thank you so much.
Really clear and not annoying! I think that's a plus!
Ooh man... I've been trying to crack how to do that well with the native set for a while now (I'm a bit slow :) ) Thank you!!!!
İki gündür benzer bir formu plugin kullanmadan çizmeye çalışıyorum. Videonuz sayesinde çizebildim sonunda, çok teşekkürler😊
Thanks for this video! Im doing stuff on sketchup in school and this will definitely help me with it!
good stuff !! ..... there are tricks in SketchUp that never go old. I remember a tutorial by Bonnie Roskes w/SketchUp 8 and she showed you how to created a computer mouse in the same way.
Like magic! You really inspire me to try more things with the native tools!
This was quite helpful. I am new to sketch and this exposes the brain of this type of program. Thank you.
Perfect method for what I need to do! Thanks much!
Very helpful technique for us newbies. Thanks!
Really helpful! Thanks very much for this. Great explanation.
So smooth!! Thank you for share this.
Brilliant! It just happens that I need to model a Ducati fuel tank. I thought I would need the sand tools but no. Fantastic. Thank you.

I am glad I came across this today because it is exactly what I need to do on a project I am working on and I was wondering how I would accomplish this in SU.
thank you, you brighten my day.
Excellent didactic video! Very clear explanation. Thank you.

Paul Lee Thanks! Every time I model something like this, I refine my methods (aka make up another way to do it).
That is awesome, thank you!
Nice, as a NURBS and SubD modeling guy, I never knew you can do organic forms in Sketchup.
Just what I needed. Thx!
great video hopefully this will be helpful in designing shapes for cnc milling.

Great stuff really learn alot
Excellent, thank you!
masterfully explained... thank you so much...
Outstanding!
Thanks man, very helpful for me. How you model cars, tools and planes still is a mystery to me
I am learning ALOTTTTTA! 👍
This is great! Thank you

Good to know that it can be done in Sketchup! On another note, what is the technique where I can take a photo of my house exterior and make sketchup match those dimensions and textures?
Very Helpful !
awesome thanks!
I do Like That!
Thank you this has answered some question i had initially after watching yr cobra body build. What was the add on you used in that if i may ask ?
Thank you VERY much
I use a similar process to make canopies for model aircraft. Except I only work with one half side then copy, move, and flip to make the other side.
thank you great job.
Great!! Thanks!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH 😎
Quanto mais vejo Sketchup, mais gosto do Blender. :)
Thank you.
This is very similar to creating a plug for building fiberglass or carbon fiber part, irl. Feels pretty natural.
Perfect for modelling RC Planes cockpit forms

Been doing it for years. Works with airfoils and can even be engineered to have wings with complex plan forms or twist.Useful for boat hulls too.
So clever! :)
Nice! Brand new to SU from OLD! Cad so you left out all the steps to get your planes centered... I would love to see that part of the modeling process

I'm thinkin' make a center line when you're making the shapes to begin with and then use them to align the pieces. Would that work?

Clearly explained, nice and easy (if repetitive). Are you going to do a video (videos) on the free SU plugins which are made for organic modelling?

@@gusbert QuadFaceTools is a set of tools for selecting and creating quaded geometry. It does not actually do the organic part (the subdivision). It is a great toolset to have along side SubD, but, by itself, really is not an organic modeling solution.

@@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.
Great job
Thank you so much..
impressive. thanks
That's very clever.
Thank you 🦋
I also done leather bedback using same technique.
Great...tedious at first but satisfying...!
Fabulous explanation ;¬)
muito bom gostei do tutoria
hi i very prefer your each videos thank you for you share
excelent!
Thank you
I like it! I am currently trying to model a removable steel rack for my pickup out of 1 1/2" pipe and am having some issues so I think some of these tricks will be helpful. Would the extensions mentioned be of help to me in my project?
4:13 how did you manage to put that extra line into the group?
Feels like this just highlights that SketchUp could use much better native support for organic shapes

Agreed... This is like 30 minutes to make one organic shaped object that isn't really even following tight parameters after smoothing is applied.
Amazing
wery useful, make more on this aurgument
How are you rotating the model while using other tools?
I don’t know if you made this or the Bathtub video first, but the bathtub could be easily done this way.
Thanks
Спасибо.
That looks tedious and repetitive, exactly the kind of thing I like to do in Sketchup.
gonna do a lot of organic modeling
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.

Aaron sort-of addressed this at the end of the video: doing it your way is possible, and probably faster, but ends up with a mesh which is less dense / detailed, so the end result might not have curves which are as smooth. It really depends on your needs.

I hit the like button for giving users an idea BUT a program with more than 800mbytes on drive it's a shame that can't have native tools for curves! and also you don't know how much it suffers a user to play with its old school UNLOCKED , Unorganized toolbars and its crashes time to time plus weakness for large amount of polygons... the only and best power point of Sketchup is very good SNAPPING in 3d world that other giant 3d program never solved it this way. if anyone puts it I won't waste a minute to migrate from sketchup to that program.
.Hi, any ideia or suggestions on how to model a glass bottle with juice inside ? Tku for your help!
This is a strange questions, but the initial animation of the sketchup logo, does anyone know what is being done? I've moved line segments before but not shrinking them like that. **
nice
Yes, that's the way it is done. nice! ;- )

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.

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!
