Copy along path will make copies of a component along path with a distance set by the user.Great for tubes along non-continous lines, as pipe along path only works along single paths. Lines to tubes generates a series of tubes along all selected lines.
This allows smooth creation of pipe shapes. Pipe along path draws a pipe along a continuous path.I’m not 100% sure how this is different than using the follow me tool and a shape you draw. Extrude along path appears to extrude a rectangular shape along a path you select.Extrude Edges by vector allows you to extrude an individual line into a 3D shape – no thickness required.Offset Edge allows you to offset a single edge object in SketchUp, which you can’t do in a base installation.This extension is great because it works both with grouped and ungrouped geometry.
FaceFinder is an extension that allows you to fill in faces on coplanar edges for a selected set of geometry. I’ve talked about this one before – it allows you to extrude a face while still keeping it upright. This tool also includes upright extruder by Julia Christina Eneroth. I’m particularly intrigued by smooth to quadrants due to its ability to take faces back to quad geometry. The first three tools that are included are the AMS Smooth tools, the Smooze tools, and the soften to quadrants tool, all used for softening and unsoftening hidden geometry. You can adjust the number of tools that show up in your toolbar by going to help, CadFather Pack, and selecting Powerbar Icons There’s actually a fairly ridiculous number of tools in this extension, and I don’t think we’re going to get to all of them today – probably what we’ll do is break this up into a several part video. This tool is unique in that it’s actually a collection of powerful extensions from other developers, like TIG, Thom Thom, Rick Wilson, Christina Eneroth, and more. Where can you get it? You can download it from the SketchUcation extension store. This week’s extension, selected by my Patreon supporters, is JHS Powerbar!
