        Interesting.
        Do you have the same graph showing Mac usage for pro users only?

            Just another quick question. As far as materials are concerned there seems to be new products on the market daily and it seems most of clients want to out-do each other by using the newest and shiniest. Are there provisions in PlusSpec to allow you to create new materials and add BIM information to it? Now I have to apologize, I have not watched all the videos as of yet so perhaps my question is already answered there, if so just let me know.

            Thanks,
            Rob

            Hi Rob, you will like what we have coming up in this area. It will be about 8 weeks away. Ill fill you in more as we get closer.

              I guess my last post didn't go. here it is again.

              I have a few questions.

              1. Does PlusSpec offer full imperial support? standards for framing and what not, equipment and components?

              2. If I buy a subscription to PlusSpec does that cover all the components library or do I have to pay per component?

              3. What is the process or ability in terms of unique or custom building areas. Have a look at my website and you'll see what I mean. I have curved walls and roofs with the rafter tails cut off.

              4. Will PlusSpec make use of SU 2014's auto label in Layout?

              5. Does the BIM information transfer to Layout?

              1. Does PlusSpec offer full imperial support? standards for framing and what not, equipment and components?
              We have timber sitting here ready to go and we are making products as I type. If you have a particular supplier you would like to see on board send me the details. I will chase them up. I have had many emails from America and Acme, American Gypsum,Dryvit EIFS, Andersen Windows have all had over 100 requests from individuals. There are a couple more companies that are getting up there as well.

              2. If I buy a subscription to PlusSpec does that cover all the components library or do I have to pay per component?
              yes all of the components come for free. If you have more in your library that you would like to share let me know and I will have them added n( we do have a pre requisite on the way they are drawn (low poly, minimal faces and you must be able to buy them in your country) as efficiency is our main aim SKPBIM models are very stream line). There is a direct link to RubySketch inside PlusSpec that allows you to download directly into your model. This makes Sketchup work faster as adding too many components can slow down your computer if you save them locally.

              3. What is the process or ability in terms of unique or custom building areas. Have a look at my website and you'll see what I mean. I have curved walls and roofs with the rafter tails cut off.

              The best thing about PlusSpec is you are working in Sketchup, you can draw what ever you want (use the "Bim tool for non custom items), it's a big time saver, unfortunately not as quick. You will not have the ability to use parametrics yet we have a solution coming that will help with quantifying.
              BTW Nice designs on your site!

              4. Will PlusSpec make use of SU 2014's auto label in Layout?

              I am working on this, I have asked Trimble for access to Layout back end. This is not going to happen any time soon yet we are working on a work around. Sorry cant help straight up with this one. Watch this space

              5. Does the BIM information transfer to Layout?

              Not exactly, I guess you want a window schedule? If so copy the text out of the take off data sheet and paste in LO it for a work around. We are working on a solution now. There are pros and cons with this new functionality that Sketchup added in SU & LO 14. Watch this space.

                Thanks Rich, that takes the pressure off.
                Mac users, I will get it done, time is the main factor.
                Anyone know how to clone humans?

                I will be going to Hawaii next month if anyone wants to come and say Gday PM me, I will be demonstrating PlusSpec, so Aloha in advance.

                  I guess the question is still unanswered. Is imperial support imminent or sometime in the future? Is there a workaround? I have used the trial version and am impressed. My concern is that the program is very good for Australia but not so good for North America.

                                You mean that 4.5% of v14 Pro users are using macs? (This is what I'm interesting in)

                                    This is really different than the results I get from LP (40%). I wonder why.

                                    And I guess it means that there is a bigger percentage of Macs among Free/Make users?

                                        You're looking at stats related to your plugin.

                                        Ours is based on total usage across all versions and platforms.

                                        We can display whatever is necessary, needed or informative.

                                        I think you'd get more info if you implemented our API calls.

                                        Anything is possible you just need to make it.

                                        We are derailing this thread though. Hit us up in the plugin author forum.

                                          Yes, this is why I'm wondering why there is such a big difference between LP users and all PS users.

                                          Already working on this 😉 But I was curious about the whole user base.
