Thanks for the feedback – like I said, this is all new to me – never used Youtube before, and the video was set for private. fixed now.

Wow !!
That is awesome.
I just use the basic sketch up download ( no plug ins)
That looked so simple. I’m sure it would take me forever longer. LOL
Thanks for sharing this,

Wish I could use sketchup that well. I know, I know, people will help with that. I just don’t have time for it. Well done on the plug in.

Great plug in Sharon! Simple to use very intuitive..nicely done! Really allot easier to do than hand draw a row of pins and tails…

Thanks everyone.

Dave – Thanks for the plug on FWW Design Click Build. your presentation with the model looks much better than mine. as for the banner- I never did finish that dovetailed box, so I finally was able to make a use of it :)

As for plugins in general, as you can see from my demo – I don’t have any plugins installed either :) well, except for this one now. it really all boils down to the nature of your work with Sketchup and what tools can help you speed things up.

Wow sharon, looks like you’ve really put some work into this, great job and on the website.

That is SWEET!!!!! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve wished for something like this… and laying them out with trial/error and the Control/move and /3 stuff just doesn’t always make ‘em turn out like I want.

That looks much easier than drawing them manually. Nice work! I notice some ghosted lines after the tails are created. It looks like the plugin is creating a surface in between each tail. You can easily check this by hiding one or both of the sides.

Glad you like it guys,

Thanks Dave. that is correct -the artifacts are from YouTube compression of the original capture movie. as I stated – I’ve never worked with Youtube before, and need to figure out the bits and tricks of making the best of it.

the plugin itself does not leave any extra artifacts or parts in the model.

This is a really cool and useful plug-in. Thanks so much for sharing it, and yes, in case no one has said it yet, the higher quality video really makes a difference.

I do like your articles, though unfortunately on this occasion I could not view the video.
