The plugin features several distinct extrusion modes, each tailored to specific geometric needs:
Tap the on your keyboard to lock the extrusion to a specific axis (Up Arrow for Blue axis).
Joint Push Pull is a legendary SketchUp script that revolutionizes how you extrude geometry. Instead of working on just one flat face at a time, this extension allows you to extrude multiple faces simultaneously. More importantly, it can extrude curved surfaces—like cylinders, spheres, and organic terrain—while maintaining the continuity of the mesh. Core Extrusion Modes
Industrial design detailing, furniture modeling, and soft-edged architectural panels. 3. Vector Push Pull (V) Joint Push Pull Sketchup 2021
Click the desired Joint Push Pull icon from the toolbar or access it via Tools > Fredo6 Collection > Joint Push Pull . Execution:
If you’ve ever tried to push/pull a curved or non-vertical face in SketchUp, you know the pain: distorted geometry, broken textures, and that frustrating "can’t extrude" error. Enter – a game-changing extension that turns impossible extrusions into effortless 3D magic.
If you check the "Generate as Group" option in the tool preview, the new extrusion will automatically be isolated, keeping your model clean and organized. The plugin features several distinct extrusion modes, each
Joint Push Pull is a robust extension developed by Fredo6 that significantly expands the face extrusion functions within SketchUp. While the native Push/Pull tool in SketchUp is limited to extruding a single, flat face at a time along a perpendicular direction, Joint Push Pull allows users to push, pull, or extrude multiple faces and curved surfaces simultaneously. It's often referred to as "super push-pull" or "联合推拉" in Chinese, addressing the limitations of the built-in tool, which cannot effectively handle curved surfaces, multiple faces, or non-vertical extrusions.
Ideal for architectural columns, slanted roof slopes, or pulling geometry out at a precise angle. Select the tool.

This variation extrudes faces while automatically rounding the transitions between adjacent generated faces. It prevents the sharp, jagged edges that sometimes occur when extruding highly irregular curves. 3. Vector Push Pull (V)
