Joint Push Pull Interactive [portable] Free -
The native SketchUp Push/Pull tool works great on flat rectangles, but it fails on curved surfaces or faces that aren't rectangular. solves this by allowing you to extrude surfaces along their normals (their natural direction).
Thicken Mode: Keeps the original backing face intact, instantly turning thin surfaces into enclosed, solid objects.
Historically, robust extrusion tools lived behind expensive paywalls ($50–$200 plugins). But the open-source and freemium modeling community has caught up.

Extrudes multiple faces along their individual individual normals. Unlike Joint mode, the faces will separate and detach from one another during the push/pull action.
The days of avoiding complex extrusions because you were afraid of breaking your model are over. The combination of integrity, Interactive feedback, and Free accessibility has democratized advanced geometry.
If you try to use the native tool on a curved wall or an irregular terrain mesh, SketchUp will throw an error or display a locked symbol. This occurs because curves in SketchUp are actually composed of hidden, segmented flat faces. Extruding them individually would break the mesh apart into fragmented, non-solid geometry. The native SketchUp Push/Pull tool works great on
This is the safest and most reliable method to get the full, most up-to-date version of the plugin without any risk. The developer, Fredo6, offers a starting from the date of first use. During this period, you have access to all features of the latest version, and no credit card information is required to start the trial. This is ideal for testing the plugin on a specific project before making a purchase.
You no longer need a corporate budget to extrude complex fillets.
This flagship function extrudes continuous, curved surfaces composed of multiple softened facets. It calculates the average normal vectors of intersecting boundaries, sewing the generated "joints" together automatically into a smooth, manifold solid. Unlike Joint mode, the faces will separate and
Restart SketchUp to fully initialize the interactive toolbars.
You can select and extrude dozens of non-coplanar faces at once.
