Joint Push Pull is a suite of utility tools dedicated to the extrusion of faces and surfaces. Unlike the native SketchUp tool which moves individual faces along their specific straight vectors, Joint Push Pull can compute the averages of connected faces (joints) to extrude them smoothly as a single, cohesive surface.
Similar to Joint Push Pull, but it generates rounded corners and smooth transitions at the intersections of extruded faces.
To get Joint Push Pull running in SketchUp 2021, you must follow a specific installation sequence, as the plugin relies on shared libraries. Download LibFredo6 Joint Push Pull Sketchup 2021
Select all the connected faces you want to extrude. If the faces are part of a smooth surface (like a cylinder or terrain), double-clicking one face often selects the whole surface. 2. Activate the Tool

Extrudes multiple faces while keeping them parallel to their original orientation.
The plugin displays an on-screen heads-up display (HUD). You can tweak parameters before committing: : Choose whether to keep or delete original faces. to ensure all toolbar elements and scripts initialize
Group your new geometry. Use SketchUp’s Entity Info panel to verify that it reads as a "Solid Group," ensuring it is error-free. Pro-Tips for SketchUp 2021 Users
: 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

In short, the feature set of transforms SketchUp 2021 from a tool that primarily extrudes flat planes into a tool capable of thickening and manipulating complex, curved, and organic 3D meshes.
What are you modeling? (e.g., architectural roofs, furniture, terrain)
Joint Push Pull works flawlessly with (both Windows and Mac). Just ensure you install LibFredo6 (the shared library for Fredo6 plugins) first.
To run Joint Push Pull on SketchUp 2021, you must satisfy two dependencies: LibFredo6:
Leaves the original face intact and generates the extrusion as a new geometry layer (similar to the native Push/Pull "+" modifier).
