WWX Mortise & Tenon Plugin for Sketchup
Post date: Jun 16, 2010 6:19:0 PM
WWX M&T plugin for Sketchup version 7, 8, and 2013 (tested with version 7+, 8+ and 2013 on windows,mac, and linux) for automating Mortise and Tenon creation in models.
This plugin simplifies and quickens the creation of Mortise and Tenon joinery in your models by completely automating their creation.
The M&T plugin takes 3 parameters which set the Tenon Depth, Tenon offset (Tenon shoulders), and an extra depth for the Mortise to account for excess glue.
For a more in-depth tutorial on using the plugin, check out the WWX M&T Tutorial page which also explains how to install it.
Current version 1.0 will do standard centered M&T, either hidden or through, but not offset, haunched, or elaborate joints - in those cases, you could use the plugin as is to set your base joint, and manually tweak them to your likings, which can still save on time and efforts as the basic geometry is created automatically on both parts.
This plugin is available on the Purchasing page.
