There is another way to create geometries in SketchUp is with follow me tools. So I was gonna say it as a push pull tool with a proper path we have given to it. So we have the push or follow me tool here under the push of push and pull tool. And the direction you can see there is a direction with air. And also you can find it under the Tools and follow me. So I'm gonna select it.

So you can see the cursor has changed our logo, then this political logo is the following tools. So for that before using this tool, I have to create some lines. I'm going to create some lines along with arc, some arcs. So we have a proper line here. Okay, so for that, before using follow me tools, I want a, what I want, I want the five with this particular path along along this particular path. So for that, I'm going to use circle command, here we have circled.

And we have, you can I will draw a circle here, like this. And I have to just make it from here. So what we'll do is like I will go under Tools, and I will use follow me and I will hover around this particular circuit, and I will, then my cursor will hover on this. So I'm gonna follow this, this part, this connected part and following that highway Go to this endpoint. Now you can see I have created a pipe. You can see from here also, there are pipes here that I have created.

And I think it is on. So yeah. So it's a shape of a pipe. So I'll make it more visible. I'll make something really small like this Like this I'm gonna create a circle here. I'm gonna use circle and make it along this red axis.

And then I will again go to another tooth and use follow me and I will click this face and follow it along this particular line of tend of particular I have followed this line here and off to the end of this ship I'll follow this and dragging along with the path that I need to go for. Now you can see we have created a pipe along this path, which is really useful for us and you will see these what we can say junction where it is not smooth. So we'll do the same that we did earlier with the edges So good. We'll go under this entity information and use this select this particular edge. American, soft, soft and smooth. Now you can see it is not smooth and yeah, so it's quite exponent.

So one more thing I want to add it here like I want to make a like this Okay, and I want to make something follow, I will make a rectangle and I just don't want to drag here I'm trying to show you without dragging, we can make a follow me command. So for that, I will make a rectangle here and make a long red axis. For that, what I will do, I will select the path first. Okay, we have selected the path and then after that and use the tool follow me and I will just one click left click once and now it has followed the path you can see. So it's quite exoplanet and it's quite easy to make some structures that are quite more complex to follow. So it saves your time and you find it really easy.

So, yeah, so try it by yourself. These are the tools that is that what I personally find it very helpful for me while creating 3d models. So once you will be pro in this particular tool in particular to view believe You will be happy to create and you will find it easy to create more and more complex modeling in SketchUp
