The Push/Pull tool is one of the more powerful tools in SketchUp 2016. This video shows how to use the Push/Pull tool to easily extrude details from a model. George discusses how to pull faces out to create more detail as well as how to push them in to create cavities and holes in a model. George then shows how to precisely control the process numerically.
- [Teacher] One of the more useful and important tools…in SketchUp is called the Push/Pull tool.…Now this allows you to take any shape…and push it and pull it into 3D.…So let's start off with a simple rectangle.…I'm going to select my Rectangle tool…and just draw out a basic box.…Now if I wanted to bring this into 3D…I could use my Line tool or add additional rectangles,…but that takes a little bit of time.…The Push/Pull tool is a great way to do this quickly.…
Now we can find the Push/Pull tool under Tools,…Push/Pull.…The hotkey for this is the letter P.…Or we can find it here in the toolbar.…Now when I select the tool,…notice how when I hover over that face…it highlights.…So what I hae to do is highlight a face…and then left click and drag.…So when I left click and drag I can pull this face up.…And when I let go I now have a 3D shape.…
The Push/Pull tool can also be used…to resize this shape.…So notice how we have a lot more faces here…and as I hover over this with the Push/Pull tool…they each highlight.…So if I were to select this face here,…
