Coming Soon:Profile Builder

druel this will be amazing!
If only there was a good way of producing good quality construction drawings from SketchUp it'd be bye bye ArchiCAD, Revit and AutoCAD!!

Whaat - you are an absolute genius. You seem to produce scripts that others can only dream of. This is beyond the expectations and prbably vision of most people. Forget SU7, you are a one man SketchUp enhancing machine!

For me, this has taken the gloss off SU7. It makes me think that Google just need to keep developing the core featurres (multi-core, shadow fix - predictably) and leave you and the other 'Ruby elite' to expand the feature set.

I'll buy this for definite!

Impressive, i know what i will be purchasing when it comes out

rwagner · 17 Nov 2008, 03:29

I would love to own this, please keep us updated when you plan to release it. Awesome job!

Just absolutely amazing; I'll be buying this one for sure.

I can't believe how much easier much of my work will become when you release it.

As kannonbal said "I'll be buying this for sure.

Bravo

Thanks for the encouraging responses! Sorry, but I will not be taking any more requests for beta testing. If you have already PM'd me, chances are good that I will send you a message in the coming weeks (be patient...) to give you further details.

I know there have been lots of questions about the plugin but I will have to keep a bit quiet for now

Cheers,
Dale

Mate I don't think you ever have to say sorry for anything!

Seriously what you have bought to the SU community and I'm sure will continue to (sure hoping) exceeds all expectations and imaginations!

I feel everyone gains greater confidence that SU will be around for a long while yet whilst it's development is supported with such insight and foresight!

BRILLIANT WORK!

You'll have to make sure everyone gets a copy once its released.

Amazing! This would be extremely useful for almost ANYONE using sketchup!

My only question is this: Will it work properly on macs? Almost 1/2 of the plugins I've found Don't.

donkey_b · 27 Nov 2008, 03:29

！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！

idraft · 27 Nov 2008, 03:46

If Im right it looks like you can select components and use a Profile builder similar to the "follow me" tool to drag components along a line or path. Imagine how fast one can draw a basic house model if adopting a similar idea here.

Attached is a brick house follow me example.

Utiler: are you saying you dont want this?

certainly will Jeff!!! all that needs to be sorted then is dimensioning and text then i can put BIM back in it's box and use it as a door stop.....

idraft · 27 Nov 2008, 04:22

I know, with these rubys SU is becoming a very very powerful tool.

elson77 · 29 Nov 2008, 12:12

Hello!
i cant believe it! where can i get it? for weeks now i had to create dozens of profiles in my project, which is really a pain with curved extrution paths. and there are still lots of profiles i need to create. i wish i would have checked out this forum earlier...

remus · 29 Nov 2008, 12:58

Its not out yet, although you should be able to pick it up from smustard when its released: http://www.smustard.com/scripts/

Howard leslie · 30 Nov 2008, 19:19

Dale,
Your proposed script looks REALLY promising.
...
In case you hadn't already thought of it, could you please ensure that any guidelines drawn represent a profiles ORIGIN point eg Centre, Centre (if thats how a user has drawn a particular profile).
...
See attached for explanation
...
This is particularly important for Structural Steelwork Drawings.
...
Thanks once again for what looks like another one of your fantastic scripts.
...
Regards
Howard L'
