Re: Doin' The Twist

Sure, I used two plugins:

The "Join" tool in the SCF Power Toolbar:

and the "Follow Me rotate" script:

Both are available for free in the provided links.
There's a bit more info in the full description of the Youtube video.

The rest of the tools I used (Divide, Explode, Soften Edges, etc) are standard SketchUp tools. I also used the standard SketchUp Keyboard shortcuts (P for Push, L for line, E for Eraser, etc) and that's why the workflow looks so fast.

The key point while using "Follow Me Rotate" is to deselect the divided line and click on some pieces before joining it again. If you don't do this, the script might not work. Weird, isn't it? But then again, software often works in strange ways...

Very good tutorial.

And I think there's an even faster way to do this:
