The plugin is actually a toolkit consisting of several distinct extrusion methods. Each solves a specific geometric problem. 1. Joint Push Pull (J) Joint Push Pull Sketchup 2021
: Extrudes faces along a specific direction (vector) rather than just perpendicular to the face. This is ideal for flattening terrains or creating angled extrusions. Normal Push Pull
While Joint Push Pull is stable, users occasionally run into problems, especially with a specific version like SketchUp 2021. Here are solutions to the most common issues.
Click the (the blue 'J') from the Fredo6 toolbar. A green grid overlay will appear on your cursor, highlighting your selection. Step 3: Configure the Control Panel Joint Push Pull requires (a shared library for
The latest version compatible with SketchUp 2021 is or higher.
Extrudes faces along a specific direction (vector) regardless of their orientation.
You can select multiple faces (even non-contiguous ones) and pull them all at once to the same distance, saving significant time on repetitive modeling tasks. Each solves a specific geometric problem
Choose how to treat the edges—"Contour" (softened), "Grid" (non-softened), or "None".
Joint Push Pull depends on the library, a set of shared code used by all of Fredo6's plugins. You must have the correct and most recent version of LibFredo6 installed for Joint Push Pull to operate. The SketchUcation ExtensionStore will often prompt you to install this automatically if it's missing.
Never apply JPP to loose geometry. Always triple-click to select all faces, make it a group ( G ), then apply the extrusion inside the group context. This prevents JPP from accidentally welding adjacent geometry.
The standard Push/Pull tool in SketchUp is powerful, but it has limitations. You can only push or pull one planar face at a time, and it does not work on curved surfaces. Joint Push Pull addresses these specific issues:
