Since Fredo6 moved away from the Extension Warehouse, you typically need to download and manage these via the SketchUcation marketplace Licensing Note
: Joint Push Pull remains one of the most powerful organic modeling tools for SketchUp 2021. While SketchUp 2022+ introduced native push/pull improvements, JPP still outperforms them for complex, multi-face, and non-planar extrusions. Keep LibFredo6 updated to avoid compatibility issues.

If your extrusion creates overlapping or messy geometry at tight corners, undo the action and try switching from Joint Push Pull to Thickening mode, which handles sharp interior angles better. To help tailor further advice, let me know:
Perhaps the most compelling part of this chronicle is human: the way a nuanced improvement restores confidence. For many users, SketchUp’s joy has always been the immediacy of form-making. When that immediacy no longer meant repeated fixes, it felt like permission to be bolder. Quick massing studies, playful facade adjustments, iterative furniture tweaks — these became lower-friction acts of design again. The tool’s evolution respected users’ muscle memory while honoring their need for precision. Since Fredo6 moved away from the Extension Warehouse,
Extrudes multiple faces while keeping them parallel to their original orientation.
: The tool is fully integrated with SketchUp's inference engine. When you start a push-pull operation, you can lock the movement to an axis or snap the extrusion distance to a specific point in your model, just as you would with the native move tool. This public link is valid for 7 days
Joint Push Pull is a SketchUp extension that allows extruding faces while maintaining connected geometry (shared edges/vertices) — effectively performing push/pull operations that update neighboring faces to preserve manifold geometry and avoid creating gaps or overlapping faces.
Once you have mastered the basic functions, Joint Push Pull reveals advanced capabilities that can unlock entirely new creative workflows.
