Coming Soon:Profile Builder

[baldaman]

Whaat you are the don.
I'm a french architect working every single day on this killer app. called sketchup (I'm seriously thinking about forgetting autocad & 3Dstudio).
Last week I discovered SUBDIVIDE&SMOOTH and I was very excited: The power of subdiv inside SU!!!!!!!!!!!
Tonight Obama is the new president of USA and I see the video on Profile builder: what can I say?
It's a new day, it's a new era.
God bless Obama
God bless Whaat

Whenever you want for beta test!!!!

PS: sorry for my poor english

Very nice and useful! But can it create a rectangular or profiled spiral stair handrail?

ha! asking for features and haven't even touched it yet.

[tomsdesk]

WOW! and then some!

[utiler]

[Teezer]

Funny, I was just watching this tutorial for a Modo plugin called profile sweep (http://content.luxology.com/modo/201/video/magProjectOne.mov) and was going to ask if someone could duplicate that in a ruby script. Whaat, you've surpassed it and then some!!!

[pav_3j]

i must have watched that at least 4 times, just so i didn't miss anything.

i haven't had a grin on my face this big since i passed me driving test.

very much looking forward to this.

I LOVE TO BETA TEST THE PLUG-IN. I'D BE USING IT FOR STRUCTURAL STEEL INITIALLY.

[thinkbuild]

WOW

Two ideas:

I am thinking that it would be interesting if one could assign some kind of structural and costing characteristics to the profile(s). Then, (maybe) it could, in combo is SketchyPhysics?, provide a basic structural analysis tool of incredible ease...?

Also, you might think of expanding it to provide basic BIM info for cost estimation calculations, ie:

• running length of a particular material {profile};
• cost per running unit of profile;
• total cost of all profiles;

• of connections between profile X&Y, etc...

• output of an excel worksheet file with the lengths, etc....

Anyway, keep it up. Looking forward to this one!

...bravo!

[fakircho]

This looks great and will certainly speed up a ,lot of modeling.
My boss must never find out about it because my deadlines might be shorten by half

[Frederik]

Oooohhhh my God...!!!

...that might just change the way you model with SketchUp...

Now that's what I would call a huge understatement...!!!
Whaat - you have my deepest respect...!!!

I wonder when Google will offer you a permanent job in the SU developing team...!!

HOLY CRAP!

It's like you went to the Googleplex and turned the place upside down.

That's amazing. I will be buying!

[Click Draw]

I can't stop watching the teaser video.....hurry. I feel like a kid that knows Christmas is coming soon.

[david_h]

Thou art The Great One...

p.s. Good choice of music on the Video too. It reminded me of that old Looney Toons Cartoon where the contractors build a skyscraper to the Hungarian Rhapsody.

[GUNAWAN W]

really amazed!
i try to figured out what you eat?
you are genius!

i'm waiting for the full release,..
hmmm,... can you give me some sign about how much it cost?

[Fletch]

he charged $20USD for Subdivide and Smooth Plugin (http://www.smustard.com)
@thinkbuild - yeah, that's what I was thinking... I can see a BIM plugin for SU coming... but then, Whaat's way ahead of us on this I imagine. I hadn't thought it would be possible before seeing that vid.

[plot-paris]

what an amazing soundtrack to your video

Whaat, that is truely a wonderful tool - drawing your own shapes and using them as a "follow-me-sort-of-line-thing-tool"... amazing!!!

@remus: here you have your completely new feature for SketchUp (as requested)
