              Hi All,

              My friends and I have created a building modeling plug-in for SketchUp. We have utilized our knowledge of popular BIM products (like REVIT) and tried to follow similar methodology and process-flows. This plug-in provides simple tools to create grids, floors, and all common structural engineering and architectural primitives like walls, columns, beams, slabs and openings.

              and yes, it works on both Mac and Windows πŸ˜„ check it out here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=41840

              best!

                IFC ALERT: The UK is now.hosting an official gov. database for BIM components. If anyone wants to see SU as a serious player in the BIM market, and if it is possible to produce IFC compatible SU components this is our chance

                http://www.nationalbimlibrary.com/

                Any thoughts?

                Zere are still some architectes zat do not know ow to use ze SketchUp..... Zis is unbelievable....

                  If the objective is a basic library of industry standard (parametric) parts then great but if the objects are an attempt to duplication or replace parts of the specification then I fail to see a real benefit to the design process and the BIM data would best be ignored. The main purpose of drawings are to define the size, shape, location and assembly of the building parts. A complex BIM object will never correctly replace a properly written specification which would be a simpler and more reliable source of building information. They will never compete with the simple process of labelling a door [D-01] which can then be looked up in the specification with as much or as little information as necessary to define the product, quality of work, performance requirements and conditions under which the work is to be executed.

                    And yet, literally MILLIONS use their products around the world every day.

                      IIRC wasn't this the main reason that Trimble bought SkethcUp? Weren't they going to use it as a basis for their own BIM system or something?

                        SketchUp as a BIM tool and CAD replacement.

                        SketchUp has matured hugely in the past few years to become a fast-developing new standard, gaining major advantages in comparison to 2D CAD:

                        Instant Section Cut Fill has been built in to create finished plan section and elevation drawings.
                        2D drawing capability in LayOut. This is arguably an easier and cheaper solution for 2D CAD purposes alone, without talking about 3D modelling.

                        SketchUp's BIM credentials are also outlined in the BIM Section at https://viewsion.ie/#bim. I've written up with Revit, exploring solutions and commercial advantages rather than just BIM for BIM's sake.

                        The new book "https://sketchucation.com/shop/books/intermediate/227-sketchup-for-construction-documentation-2018" is a short practical course which explores the best way to professionally produce SketchUp models then convert them to live-updated Construction Documents.
