Vertex Tools works on triangle meshes, but if you have triangles, the soft selection bulges might look "faceted." Try to keep your starting geometry as quads (four-sided faces) for the smoothest results.
If you model organic terrain, custom furniture, or any geometry that breaks the "rectangular box" mold, Vertex Tools is not a luxury—it is a necessity. It removes the frustration of fighting SketchUp's rigid geometry engine and replaces it with fluid, artistic control. Vertex Tools For SketchUp
If you cannot select a vertex, check View > Hidden Geometry . If edges are hidden, the vertices might still be there, but invisible to the click. Turn on hidden geometry to see everything.
Here is everything you need to know about why Vertex Tools is a game-changer for precision modeling. To speed up workflow, set custom shortcuts: Vertex
Creating a curved handle for a furniture piece or a rolling landscape in native SketchUp often requires tedious work with the Sandbox tools or the Scale tool. Vertex Tools allows you to grab a selection of vertices and drag them seamlessly, creating smooth, flowing curves that would otherwise be impossible to achieve efficiently.
Vertex Tools works best on Triangulated or Quad geometry. It does not work well on N-gons (faces with more than 4 sides). If you cannot select a vertex, check View
Includes tools to insert new vertices, slide them along connected edges, merge them to a single point, or bevel and poke faces.
