Frequently Asked Questions

Ordering

I just bought Vertex Tools, where do I download it?

When the order has been processed you should receive an email with login details for the Customer Area.

Check your spam filter if you do not appear to receive this email. Make sure that emails from thomthom.net is whitelisted.

If you do not receive any email after 48 hours, try and have your account details sent to you again. Should this also fail, contact me so I can investigate further.

Creating Geometry

How do you create a grid like the one in the video?

The grid seen in the overview video is made with the Sandbox Tools extension that ships with SketchUp. The From Scratch button is the second from the left in the Sandbox Tools toolbar.

How do you create a barrel with many vertices like the one in the video?

The barrel seen at 2:03 in the overview video is made by simply extruding a circle into a tube shape. Then, either the top or bottom circle of the tube is copied multiple times across the tube. (Just the edges, not the face.)
