The Joint Push Pull tool offers several benefits, including: Joint Push Pull Sketchup 2021
Joint Push Pull is a premium-quality (freemium/licensed) extension developed by Fredo6. It revolutionizes how geometry is extruded in SketchUp by providing six distinct modeling sub-tools. Each tool calculates face extrusions differently, allowing you to manipulate curved surfaces, multi-selected faces, and non-planar geometry seamlessly. Installation Requirements for SketchUp 2021

You can generate sharp borders, smooth borders, or even automatic small gaps/grooves between extruded faces.
SketchUp's native Push/Pull tool is excellent for basic 3D modeling, but it has a major limitation: it only works on flat, individual faces along a single perpendicular axis. If you try to extrude a curved surface, a sphere, or multiple faces simultaneously in different directions, the native tool fails.

Works like the standard tool but handles multiple faces at once without maintaining a "joint" connection. Why Use It in SketchUp 2021?
Similar to the native tool but works on multiple faces simultaneously. It creates gaps between non-contiguous faces rather than merging them.
