Joint Push Pull: Extrudes multiple faces along their average normals. This is the go-to for adding thickness to a curved shell or a car body.

The plugin is not just a single tool but a collection of specialized extrusion methods:

To get the most out of the interactive features, users should focus on the "on-screen" controllers. When the tool is active, a floating menu or a series of keyboard shortcuts allows for the toggling of "Finishing" (whether the original face remains) and "Boundary" (how the tool handles the edges of the selection).

The Joint Push Pull interactive verified extension remains one of the most downloaded and praised plugins in the SketchUp community. By bridging the gap between simple extrusion and complex organic modeling, it empowers users to push the boundaries of what is possible in a 3D space. For any serious modeler, ensuring you have the latest, verified version installed is the first step toward a more efficient and creative design process.

Vector Push Pull: Extrudes geometry along a specific direction (X, Y, or Z axis) regardless of the face orientation.

Round Push Pull: Similar to Joint, but it rounds off the edges of the extruded geometry, creating a more finished, manufactured look.
