Soap Skin & Bubble: A SketchUp Extension for Creating Organic Shapes
SketchUp is a powerful 3D modeling software that allows you to create anything from buildings to furniture. However, sometimes you may want to create more complex and organic shapes that are not easy to model with the default tools. This is where Soap Skin & Bubble comes in handy.

Soap Skin & Bubble is a SketchUp extension developed by Josef L that lets you generate minimal surfaces from edges. It works by creating a mesh of triangles that follows the shape of the selected edges, and then applying pressure to inflate or deflate the mesh. You can use this extension to create skins and faces along non-coplanar and complex objects, such as tensile structures, domes, bubbles, and more.
How to Install Soap Skin & Bubble
To install Soap Skin & Bubble, you need to have SketchUp 2014 or later. You can download the extension from the [SketchUp Extension Warehouse] or from the [SketchUcation Plugin Store]. Once you have downloaded the RBZ file, you can install it using the Extension Manager in SketchUp. After installing, you will find the Soap Skin & Bubble toolbar and menu under Tools.
How to Use Soap Skin & Bubble
To use Soap Skin & Bubble, you need to have a set of edges that form a closed loop. You can select the edges manually or use the Select Loop tool in the toolbar. Then, click on the Generate Soap Skin tool to create a mesh of triangles that covers the selected edges. You can adjust the number of triangles by changing the value in the VCB (value control box) at the bottom right corner of the screen.
Once you have created the soap skin, you can use the Generate Soap Bubble tool to apply pressure to the mesh. You can increase or decrease the pressure by typing positive or negative values in the VCB. You can also use the slider in the toolbar to adjust the pressure interactively. The pressure will affect the shape and curvature of the soap skin, creating different effects.
To switch back to the normal modeling mode, you can click on the Toggle Modeling Mode tool in the toolbar. This will hide the soap skin and show the original edges. You can toggle between the two modes as many times as you want. To delete the soap skin, you can use the Erase tool or press Delete on your keyboard.
Examples of Soap Skin & Bubble
Soap Skin & Bubble can be used for various purposes and applications. Here are some examples of what you can do with this extension:
Create complex shapes with soap skin: You can use soap skin to create organic shapes that are not easy to model with other tools. For example, you can create a dome, a sphere, a torus, a pillow, a flower, and more. You can also combine multiple soap skins to create more complex shapes.
Create tensile structures with soap skin and bubble: You can use soap skin and bubble to create tensile structures that are supported by tension rather than compression. For example, you can create a tent, a canopy, a pavilion, a bridge, and more. You can also use other extensions such as Lines to Tubes or Curviloft to create frames and supports for your tensile structures.
Fill holes in terrains with soap skin: You can use soap skin to fill holes in terrains or other meshes. For example, you can fill gaps in roads, rivers, lakes, mountains, and more. You can also use other tools such as Sandbox Tools or SketchUV to manipulate and texture your terrains.
Conclusion
Soap Skin & Bubble is a SketchUp extension that allows you to create organic shapes from edges. It is easy to use and versatile, and it can help you enhance your 3D models with minimal surfaces. You can download it from the [SketchUp Extension Warehouse] or from the [SketchUcation Plugin Store] and try it out yourself.
