Must have plug in for building houses?

[Scostumatu]

Hi

can anyone recommend me the MUST have plug ins for building houses from plans?

ie -
window makers,
door makers,
anything that can assis with CAD importing??

OH is there any tool that allows you to see which material or texture is taking up so much MB?? For instance, my sketchup file is approx 100MB in size and I have no idea what is using up all the resources?

Thanks heaps!!!!

I use this one-liner snippet to locate large textures:
puts "===";Sketchup.active_model.materials.each { |m| puts "#{m.display_name} - #{m.texture.image_width}x#{m.texture.image_height} - #{m.texture.filename}" unless m.texture.nil? }; puts "---"
Paste it into the Ruby Console.
Doesn't tell you the file size, but the width and height of the texture should give you an idea where the MB's go.

Also: remember to Purge your model for unused stuff. Window > Model Info > Statistics > Purge Unused

Background images in styles and photmatches can also eat MBs - I often see that in the office where people use the raw fullsize image they took with a camera.
