| Setting | Effect | |---------|--------| | Distance | Extrusion length. | | Angle tolerance | For curved extrusions – lower = smoother but slower. | | Keep original | Preserve source faces. | | Group result | Automatically place extrusion in a group. | | Solid mode | Attempt to create a manifold solid (for 3D printing). | | Material | Inherit or apply new material to extrusion. | | Subdivision | Controls mesh density on curved results. | Joint Push Pull Sketchup 2021

When to use: Thickening organic surfaces, curved walls, terrain. How it works: Each face moves along its normal vector. For a sphere, this creates a perfectly concentric shell. 2021 Tip: Use the Offset Distance parameter carefully. On high-poly meshes, values that are too large will cause self-intersection and crashes. Access via toolbar or right-click after selecting tool

SketchUp 2021 introduced substantial improvements to "Live Components" and tagging, but it did not change the core geometry engine regarding curved surfaces. Without an extension, you cannot: Joint Push Pull solves this by calculating the

Joint Push Pull solves this by calculating the offset geometry along the vertex normals of a surface. In SketchUp 2021, the extension runs faster than previous versions thanks to improved Ruby API handling.
