use this feature to add a box to the model Insert external Component Insert! red (width) green (depth) blue (height) use this feature to add vertical a reference plane Insert Box Insert! red (size) green (horizontal position) blue (vertical size) Insert! red (horizontal position) green (size) blue (vertical size) use this feature to add a horizontal reference plane Insert Vertical Plane Insert! red (size) green (size) blue (vertical position) Insert! - use this feature to add a reference line Insert Horizontal Plane Handy when working with non-default axis. You can change the position and angle of an inserting object by pre-selecting an existing object before Insert! The inserted object will inherit the position of the selected object. Move! - select two objects - then click 'move' and one of the objects moves to the position and angle of the other object. YouTube demo of the Knife! Move an Object to another Objects Position After insert and customizing the knife - positioning it to the object(s) where to cut - select the object(s) (must be groups) - and click cut! Afterwards - select the object(s) and remove the parts of the object(s) that you don't want. You can also make your own Knife by naming a group 'theKnife'. inserts a 'Knife' to cut in one or more objects.Ĭut! - before cut: customize the inserted Knife! The Knife is a group you can rotate, change the size of, and even add or remove objects within (example - add a function curve for an advanced cut). Tip! - Use 'Make Component' to save space and reduce computer load when working with multiple copies. Make advanced geometric constructions with multiple selections, multiple copies and the offset. move or copy (multiple) selected objects. copies red green blue (offset from current position Very handy for objects with curved surfaces like pipes, elbows. Rotate Object(s)ĭegrees around red, green or blue axis! (select object(s) first). Tips! Rename the object to its final name before making it a component (in outliner or with right click and entity info). You should transfer a group to a component sharing the same definition when there is more than one instance of the same object. Note that all objects from the Engineering Toolbox are inserted as individual groups. Make! - makes a component of the selected object.

View Install the extension as described in the right column - restart Sketchup and open this tool from the Sketchup Plugins menu.
