You can change the position and angle of an inserting object by pre-selecting anĮxisting object before Insert! The inserted object will inherit the position of the YouTube demo of the Knife! Move an Object to another Objects PositionĬlick "move" and one of the objects moves to the position and angle of the other Positioning it to the object(s) where to cut - select the object(s) (must be groups) -Īnd click cut!

Install the extensionĪs described in the right column - restart Sketchup and open this tool from theĬhange color! - of the selected object(s) - may be slow for some more complicated objects The engineeringtoolbox exension is opened from within SketchUp. NOTE!! - the "insert!" and the Tools features only works when Stair with the right height and the right number of steps as a reference for the push/pull toolĬustomize the stair and the steps - modify step noses, details.
Use the push/pull tool to "lift" the areas representing the steps to their exact levels. Repeat - change the control points until you find the "natural path" you believe is the best for the stairĮxtend the small lines between the segments until they touch the walls of the staircase Measure the coordinates of the control lines and add them to the inputs above - use the "Get control points." feature above, or from the dialog box, or use the "Tools > Text" feature in Sketchup - as used in the example above.Īdjust the interval parameter if required (lower value - in general higher accuracy) These segments can be used for the further construction of the stair.ĭraw the control lines for the Bezier curve This tool inserts a Bezier curve in what you define as the "natural path" - and split the curve in aprox. The "natural path" differ with persons and for persons over time - but a good aproximation to the "natural path" is the Bezier curve. In addition - for a step to be walkable - the steps rise and run should be more or less constant in the "natural path" of the stair. Note that there are limits to the steps rise and run for a stair to be walkable. Example - Construction of a L-shaped stair
