Comparison of SketchUp Make vs SketchUp Pro. By admin July 10, 2021. In this article, we will talk about the differences between Sketchup Make- the free version. SketchUp Components SketchUp Extensions SketchUp Materials sketchup plugins Tutorials. SketchUp's 10 Best Tools for Drawing In this SketchUp article briefly describe top 10 drawing tools you can use to discover how to visualize and manipulate 3D shapes and edges.
General information:
- Latest version: V3.4.3
- Author: thomthom
- Requires Sketchup 7.1 or newer.
Main feature:
- Delete hidden objects contained in the file
- Delete unused objects: Components, Materials, Layers, Styles
- Delete extra edges located on the same plane.
When to use the Cleanup Plugin:
- When you use Dynamic Sketchup models that need a lot of customization and have many hidden objects, when you finish drawing you need to use Cleanup to clean the file.
- When you use game of nesting plugins like ABF or Opencutlist, before making statistics, you need to clean up before making statistics so that many redundant objects will not appear.
Guide:
You just need to set up as shown below to delete unnecessary objects.

In this SketchUp article briefly describe top 10 drawing tools you can use to discover how to visualize and manipulate 3D shapes and edges.
1. RoundCorner
A 2D profile can be rounded along 3D edges and corners using Round Corner.
It has 3 modes, there are: Round corners, Sharp corner, Bevel
This plug-in lets you fillet and bevel 3D shapes. Moreover, Round Corner renders concave corners as round, as well as non-orthogonal edge faces. There can be 2, 3, or more edges on corners.

2. Bezier Surface of Revolution
You can create Bezier surfaces by using Bezier curves, arcs, circles, and lines.
Various surfaces of revolution such as spheres, hemispheres, domes, cones can be created and edited using the context menu items of the Right Mouse Button and Draw and Edit menus.
The Bezier Surface of Revolution tool is accessible from the Right Mouse Button Context and Draw menus once a Bezier curve is selected as a profile curve on the XZ/Red Blue/Front/Backplane.
You can edit a newly drawn surface in the editing tool once the surface has been created.
You may edit the surface as necessary by moving the control points or lines or changing the 'weights' of the control points.
Edit Rational Bezier Surfaces is also available by right-clicking within the context menu or Edit > Group.
• Using Rational Bezier Surface Properties, you can amend the resultant Bezier surface's properties, including its degrees and the number of segments.
• It is possible to create generic Swung surfaces, which do not necessarily require a circle as their trajectory curve, with the Bezier Surfaces from Curves extension.

3. Sandbox Tools
Landscape design is easy with Sandbox Tools. This extension represents the concept of a sandbox or a surface that can be created and manipulated using sandbox tools. TIN, an acronym for the triangulated irregular network, is known as a sandbox in SketchUp as well as other 3D modeling tools.

4. Onion Dome Creator
An onion dome plug-in allows users to create onion domes through the use of scripts. The onion dome drawing tool allows you to enter specific values to create a complex shape. This script makes it easy to create in SketchUp with just three clicks.

5. Vertex Tools2
Plugin Sketchup Stairs
The second version of the vertex editor allows SketchUp users to edit all the vertex properties. For organic modeling, Soft Selections should be used, and the manipulator gizmo allows for great control.

6. Zorro2
You can create cut tines through anything, even deeply nested components, and then render your selection.
Plugin Sketchup Section Cut Face

7. Rotated Rectangle Tool Example
A rectangle can be created with this plug-in in arbitrary orientations. The rotated rectangle tool in SU 2015 is an old version of this extension. This is a ruby developer's guide for making custom tools. You can draw a rectangle by first drawing its length in any direction and then its width in any direction with the tool.

8. BoolTools 2
That is a powerful Boolean optimized for 3D printing. Solid Tools is broken because of this plug-in.
Features
Plugin Sketchup S Pro
1. Associating, Differing, Intersecting, Trimming, Slicing.
2. The software was created with 3D printing in mind to handle small, complex objects without any workarounds for scaling.
3. Solids can be nestled within each other.
4. It does not create new components. Modifications to the original component are as expected.
5. This layer and name are maintained for the selected first object.
6. You can now union nested solids within a group or component using the Single Object Union tool.
7. The result is almost always a solid 3D printed object when the original object is also solid.

9. Instant Stair
1. Design stairways or ramps from a standard shape, a centerline, or a 2D plan drawing.
2. Various stair options include closed or open stairs, stringers, treads only, etc.
3. A variety of options are available for the nose.
4. Stair components can include materials when they are created or added after they have been created. A central stair part orients towards the textures.
