      New version 😄
      Should be a bit faster!
      still a bit experimental, needs some more testing but seems to work OK
      I also took the time to update the source on google-code...
      https://code.google.com/p/bim-tools/source/browse/

      Please let me know if you find any issues(or ideas for improvement)!

      Cheers!

      Experimental version for SU2014

        Any plans on releasing a version for Sketchup 2014? I miss not be able to use this tool.

        Great to hear that you like using it! 😄

        I fixed a few basic errors a few months ago but didn't get around to figure out why it's so much slower than on previous versions. All functionality seems to be working though.

        I've been working on some side-projects "lately", but if people like using it, than it needs a higher place on my list of priorities 😉
        Maybe you can give it a try and let me know your experiences? any feature requests? bugs?

        Check out the attachment!

          Great plugin. Lots of potential. How about imperial units?
          Thanks!

            Thank you! 😄
            I have been thinking about adding imperial units, but until now has not been very high on my list of priorities. I will look into it.

            Any more votes for this?

                  Sorry for the late reply 😳
                  The latest version for 2014 seems to work fine on SU2015, but I didn't get around to make it an "official" version yet so it got a bit lost within the thread(posted on 4 aug. 2014).

                  I will try to update the main-post with the latest version tomorrow.

                    Hi,
                    Just a side note: to install, create a folder "bimtools" in the Plugins folder, and put the html file in it.

                    where is the html file?
                    the plugin create bim-tools, so i have to add bimtools, right?

                      Do you have trouble installing? I think this tip is rather outdated by now.
                      The easiest way to install is through the Sketchucation Plugin Store (Search on author: "Jan Brouwer"):
                      http://sketchucation.com/plugin-store-free-download

                      You can also rename the download from bim-tools-0.12.4.zip to bim-tools-0.12.4.rbz.
                      Then it can be installed thtough: Window --> Preferences --> Extensions
                      I will use that filetype as the default for the next version...

                          0.12.4 work fine
                          but 13.0 cannot work like 12.4 @su2015x64pro

                          such as several box could be converted to wall&floor by just one click using 12.4
                          but 13.0, some faces cannot be converted

                            Can you send me an example model (PM?), then I'll check it out.
                            In my own tests the new 0.13.0 worked on more faces than 0.12.4, so I'm curious... 😄
                            Thanks for posting the issue!

                              Now I Know What Happened

                              12.4 can work under customized catalogue, 13.0 not

                              and 13.0, if you have cleaned bim information, you must run SU again, Using File→New could not worked, isn't ?

                                Thanks! You're probably right, I also had some trouble changing between models without restarting SU a couple of weeks ago, I thought I fixed that. I will check it out!

                                  Okay, I completely uprooted the observers that keep track of the active entities, and it seems much more solid now 😄

                                  Can you give it a try before I upload it into the PluginStore?
                                  Thanks!

                                    New version 0.13.2 online!

                                    Feels much more solid due to improved observers 😄

                                        I believe it used to work on Mac, but have never been able to test it myself.
                                        I will try to borrow a Mac and check it out 😉

                                        The error is related to reading the config file, did you by any chance modify that file?

                                          Thank you for the response.
                                          I didn't make any changes to files.
                                          Deleted plugin this morning and reinstalled through sketchucation plugin with similar error message.
