I think the awesomely detailed construction extensions being created by Nathaniel Wilkerson (medeek) is what you're looking for.

Hi Bob, I agree that Nathaniel makes some really great extensions and he's extremely dedicated. I am keeping an eye on his new wall framing extension (in beta 0.74 now I believe), but we don't really use that method of construction where I'm at.
I'll have to look and see what can be done with it, but I think I'm kinda stuck with what I want / need at the moment. I use Profile Builder 2 (by whaat, another of the many great coders) for walls and such which helps speed things up.
I'm starting to think one of the solutions would be not to create walls as they're built, thus as a single volume, but this doesn't communicate correctly on the construction documentation. I also use Skalp 3 (by layer method) and am hoping that they will be able to develop their Pattern Designer so I can create a complex pattern to represent a complex / cavity wall when cutting through a single volume wall.

So do I since I don't need construction details, but I'm looking Forward to Nathaniel's extensions for when/if I do

Juju,
I know how you feel I think. Actually the walls we usually use are closer to Medeek walls in construction, but then there's always something different. I have long gone to "outline walls" in building sections and use detail sections of specific parts. I have used SU a little for the empty volume sections. Usually find that the builder doesn't need to know how to build a wall and we have structural plans and details for everything that's not obvious and whatever the code compliance needs. We will sometimes also work out the preliminary sections in CAD for us and the engineer, but not necessarily use them for the final drawings. So I am not sure if I'll ever get to the total BIM model concept or need it.

The download is only from the site http://www.formation-sketchup.quebec. It is kinda quick and discreet. Have you checked your folder ?
Update: NOT NEEDED ANYMORE, so removed -
Walls as single volume is the first step, for me. Once all windows and doors are in, I use Fredo Joint PushPull to add inner material faces.

UPDATE
See V8.4 video at beginning of post. -
new user. how do you change units to metric?

Once SketchUp is set to metrics, just enter your metric values in the dialogs, they will replace the default values.

This plugin is now Renamed to Sketch-Int
and moved to SketchUp Extension Warehouse. -
Sounds like a good idea for a plugin but a trial is always a good thing to view first.
It is installed but???
The trial email to validate does not show up in my mailbox after multiple tries to have it sent?
I would hate to pay and have the same thing happen again.
Is pay to play the only option that works to validate.?
OK with me but need to know please.dtrarch
-
Sketch-Int will be available soon on SketchUp EW, trial also.
-
And on SketchUcation? What's the name about?
-
Well, the licensing will be managed by EW, so it has to be downloaded from there. here there could be a link.

I am using with Sketchup 2017 on Mac. Worked OK at first, but now crashes or locks up. When trying to create a new door, an INFO window opens with a link to tutorial video, initially when closed this was replaced by the door dimensions etc window but know it just prevents me from selecting anything.
