![]() Copy one leg, and one of each of the aprons off to the side of the rest of the model. You won’t have to calculate the locations of mortises from the tenons and remember about the offset between the aprons and the legs.īy making copies and editing components, the mortises can be located exactly where they need to be in the legs quickly and painlessly. ![]() If you take a few minutes to add the mortises and tenons, you can head to the shop with a detailed, dimensioned drawing that will show you where both parts of the joints are located. You can build from a SketchUp model without adding joinery details, but if you do, you will miss another of the advantages of planning your work in SketchUp. ![]() Following the video is the text related to the video, adapted from the book. The video is one of the ones that are embedded in the text of my book “Woodworker’s Guide to SketchUp”. It only takes a couple of minutes, and this video shows you how. If you don’t speak SketchUp fluently, that means I can take an existing tenon from a table apron and use that to make a perfect mortise in the leg. Here is one of my favorite moves in SketchUp, exploding and redefining components to move geometry from one component to another.
