New to sketchup forum

cmittle · 19 Sept 2008, 14:08

I am new to the forum, but I test drove sketchup a couple years ago and have a pretty good idea how it works. I am much more familiar with ProE and SolidWorks, but those aren't free for personal use. I have Ubuntu installed on my desktop and laptop at home and the last time I tried installing Sketchup in Wine I didn't have much luck. Today at work I came across this cool plugin http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/09/15/integrated-environmental-solutions-energy-modeling-plugin/ for sketchup that allows a person to analyze the heat loss of their house. I would really like to use this plugin to evaluate my house. Does anyone know of any tutorials or have any suggestions on how to make this work easily?

Thanks,
Cory

Hi, Cory, and welcome! I don't have an answer to your question, but I did want to just say, "Hello!"

Are you looking how to make the plugin work or how to get SU working in wine?

If tis the latter there has been a few threads about it already: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/search.php

I'm looking for something that can walk me through how to use this plugin.
