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

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!!!

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!

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

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!

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

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)

Coming Soon:Profile Builder

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