Modeling Polyhedra with NEW SketchUp Inference

Ever wondered how to model polyhedra in SketchUp using only native tools? Well, buckle up! In this SketchUp tutorial, Tyson dives headfirst into the world of geometric forms. With a trusty rotate tool in hand, he’s about to take us on a wild ride of advanced inference locking, off-axis modeling, and a whole lot of polygon fun.

Tyson starts by breaking down the power of the rotate tool – spoiler alert: it’s more than just spinning stuff around! With the help of a little-known inference point, he demonstrates how to masterfully rotate polygons to perfectly meet adjacent faces. He'll be crafting everything from a simple dodecahedron to the much trickier truncated icosahedron, using strategies that sharpen our skills and flex our geometric muscles. Grab your SketchUp, hit those arrow keys, and let's start rotating!

Whether you're a seasoned modeler or still learning your way around, you’re sure to pick up some fresh techniques. Like, subscribe, and let us know if there's something else you want to see Tyson wrangle with next.
