      Hi everyone,

      For a long time I felt SketchUp was missing quite a few functions I needed on a daily basis as an architect — a proper grid, quick unit switching, better length snapping, and more. Instead of working around it every time, I decided to build it myself, and the result is Engineering ToolBox: a full extension with tools grouped into six categories, covering surface and curve operations, selection and filtering, and a bunch of other functions useful in everyday modeling.

      Here's a short overview of the plugin:

      A couple of the individual tools, if you want to see them in action:

      • Quickly Switch Unit: https://youtube.com/shorts/yni7WKKmxKk

      Project: Filip ArchTrainer
      Plugin: Engineering ToolBox

      I'll be adding the rest of the tools one by one, so more videos are coming soon. Happy to answer any questions about specific tools, and would love to hear your feedback!

        Update: the next tool is in - View Toggle.

        View Toggle switches between perspective and parallel view directly from the plugin, so there's no need to go to the toolbars in SketchUp. I find it most useful when I'm drawing while zoomed in.

        I'll keep adding the rest of the tools one by one. Feedback is welcome, especially on which tools you'd like to see next.
