Aaron Bishop presents this sketchup tutorial useful for woodworking professionals. The tutorial shows how to use the "Glue to:" and "Cut opening" features for developing a window component. This sketchup tutorial is the part of sketchup skill builder series.
Glue to allows a component to bind to a definite plane. If a component is glued to a surface, it can be moved on that surface by the Move tool.
Cut Opening check box is activated for components “in” a surface to automatically cut an opening in surfaces the component is attached.
Tips:
• To arrange a gluing plane, choose one of the following options available in the Glue To drop-down list: Any, Horizontal, Vertical, Sloped. Once a gluing plane is selected, the Cut Opening checkbox turns out to be functional, and the Always Face Camera and Shadows Face Sun options turn out to be inactive.
• Activate the Cut Opening checkbox to make your component prepared to cut an opening in a face.
• If you want to detach a glued component out of a specific surface, right-click it and select Unglue from the context menu.
