To get the most out of Joint Push Pull in SketchUp 2021, follow these best practices: Follow Push Pull: Extrudes faces along a curved path
| Feature | Native Push/Pull (2021) | Joint Push Pull | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Flat surfaces | ✅ Fast | ✅ Works (but overkill) | | Curved surfaces (Curviloft mesh) | ❌ Error | ✅ Normal mode | | Spheres, domes | ❌ Creates jagged artifacts | ✅ Perfect concentric shell | | Extruding edges | ❌ Not possible | ✅ Extrude mode | | Memory usage | Low | Moderate (requires LibFredo6) | | Undo reliability | Perfect | Occasionally fails on massive extrusions |
It is the go-to tool for adding thickness to "skins" or organic shapes (like a curved roof or a car body) that the native tool cannot process. Efficiency:
