      G'day all,

      Long-time SketchUp user (20+ years on the tools as a practicing architect),
      first-time plugin author posting here. I wanted to share what I've been
      building, get your hands on it, and hear what's broken.

      THE ITCH I WAS SCRATCHING
      ─────────────────────────
      SketchUp is the fastest tool I know for thinking through a building. But
      the moment a project moves past concept, three things start eating my day:

      • Walls that don't behave like walls, every opening is a manual hole
        through every layer
      • Importing a client's PDF floor plan and tracing it from scratch
      • Counting materials at the end of the job, by hand, group by group
      

      I tried Medeek, PlusSpec, and a few others. Heavy, opinionated, framing-
      focused. I wanted something lighter, the SketchUp ethos, but with walls
      that actually know they're walls.

      WHAT MUZWALLS DOES
      ──────────────────
      1. Parametric walls — single skin or cavity (brick veneer + studs +
      plasterboard, etc). Edit the type, every instance updates.
      2. Mitered wall chains — corners stay clean when you change widths
      3. Curved walls — true arc-segmented geometry, not faceted boxes
      4. Self-healing openings — drop a window, the wall heals. Move it,
      it heals again. Delete it, ditto. Through every layer of a cavity.
      5. Linear profiles — sills, capping, skirting, handrails. Sweep
      along any edge.
      6. PDF floor plan import — drop a PDF, scale it to a known dimension,
      trace it. (Demo GIF below.)
      7. One-click quantity takeoff — every wall, opening, profile, and
      material exported to CSV/Excel. By type, by storey, by room.

      WHAT IT DELIBERATELY DOESN'T DO
      ───────────────────────────────
      • No cloud account. No telemetry. Works fully offline after activation.
      • No central library server — libraries live inside the .skp file,
      so they travel with the project.
      • No framing engine. (Medeek owns that space and does it well.)
      • Not trying to be Revit. If you need full BIM, this isn't it.
      • No macOS yet — Windows only for v2.0. On the roadmap, no ETA I'm
      willing to commit to publicly. If you're on Mac and the rest of
      the pitch resonates, reply here and I'll bump you up the waitlist.

      PRICING
      ───────
      US$19/month or $190/year. 3-day free trial, no card required.
      SketchUp Pro 2022+, Windows only (macOS on the roadmap).

      → Free trial: https://muzwalls.com

      FOR SKETCHUCATION MEMBERS
      ─────────────────────────
      Reply in this thread for a 14-day extended trial (instead of 3) — I'll
      DM you the licence. I'd rather you have time to actually put it through
      a real project than rush to a verdict in 72 hours. If it works for you,
      leave an honest review on the plugin store. If it doesn't, tell me here
      why and I'll fix it.

      WHAT I'D LOVE FEEDBACK ON
      ─────────────────────────
      1. Is the cavity-wall workflow obvious or does it need a tutorial?
      2. Anyone in the UK/AU using imperial+metric mixed? I want to make
      sure unit handling doesn't bite anyone.
      3. What's missing that would make this a one-click decision for you?

      Cheers,
      Morteza

        Appreciate the extended trial. Why does your site say $14.99/m or $119/yr and here its $19/m or $190/yr?

          What version(s) of SketchUP will this work with?

          Highest Regards,
