Sketchup as Tile Simulator

kbmbc

Hi All,

I'm beginner in Sketchup and I'd Like to use it as tool of simulation in my Ceramic Tile shop.
Any plugin to suggest?

Thanks In advance

What exactly do you want to show? How a room would look if a certain style of tile is used? Or something else?

Hi folks.

Click in sequence on the scenes tabs of this SU file for ideas.

Hi All,

Thanks for quick reply.

I'd like to show how a room would look if a certain style of tile is used. I can put only texture that I create in my SU file but I'd like to simplify because the users (demonstrators) are not very gifted in Sketchup.( I'm working in Madagascar )

i.e i'd like this thing :

They have to enter the size of the floor (L / l ),
the type of tile (15x15 ; 20x20; 30x30 etc) and
select the texture (tile) to apply.Array can be something by default

I don't know if this type of plugin has been developped. Have you another simple way to present me.

Thanks

Ce que j'aimerai c'est utiliser SU pour simuler une salle ou on verrait le rendu en fonction du carrelage (modèle vendu en magasin).

Ce que je cherche c'est une tache simple, pour que des simples utilisateurs puissent s'en servir. En quelques sorte il entrerait :

Les dimensions du sol / Mur
Les dimensions du carrelage a appliquer
Selectionner la texture
Avoir le rendu

Je sais pas si un tel plugin a deja été developpé ou pouvez-vous me suggérer une solution simple et rapide.

Merci Shetceducateurs,

This sounds to me like an application for a Dynamic Component instead of a plugin. You could make a dynamic component that would do all of that. You need the pro version of SketchUp to make Dynamic Components or you might be able to hire someone to do it.
