[Plugin]T2H_BuildingStructureTools2.2.4 in20141207

Thanks for bringing back the regular toolbar!

However, the new version still has the same Unzipping problem. If you Unzip the files into the Plugins folder, it puts them in a "bst_zip052" sub-folder in the Plugins folder, and SketchUp cannot find the files. You need to create the .zip file so that they get Unzipped directly into the root Plugins folder, not a "bst_zip052" sub-folder.

Thanks again!

Hi,Ken.
Your install is correctly.
If you not need toolbar,please show off.or delete "bst_toolbar.rb" from plugins folder.

Hi,davecoopstl.
I will remove folder in zipped file.

Thanks.

Hi Tak,

I am excited to see that I am not alone in developing a BIM plugin Great work!

My plugin (SketchUpBIM) is focused on Building Modeling, and follows a similar methodology as the commercial BIM softwares. I would be very happy if you check it out and provide your feedback and comments: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=41840

other BIM gurus on this forum, please feel free to provide feedback as well!

Hello,tak2hata. Thanks for your tool.
I failed to creat new mutiwall. I don't understand your sentence "the rule of the mutiwall is do not exist tha wall that hugo each other"...

I tried to copy the planking of your existing Multi-wall and want to make it a new one, but by drawing it doesn't connect correctly.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hi,boilingsnow.
"hugo" is like as "tag".
This" multi wall tool" judges by "hugo" to combine the wall each other.
walls-attributes-in-Mwall
judge_combining_each_other
If the walls have same "hugo",tool can not judge.

So walls in multi wall must have different "hugo" each other.

Thanks.

Thank you for your explanation.
But how can I define the "hugo" of an entity?
Is "Query Attribute" another plugin which I have to install to check and change "hugo" of entities?

Hi,boilingsnow.
"Query Attribute" is display the attributes of entity.
It can be download in my homepage.

But it can not change attributes.

I will create editor for attribute of building structure tool.
But this is too early alpha ,yet.

Now,you open "default_pflist.csv" and add profiles with attaching attribute".
or Use "Add New profile" in menu of building structure tool.

And draw wall by using wall tool of building structure tool.

Thanks.

Hi,vilcoyote57.

"EXCHANGE" is not work well yet.

How to use.
1.Select the group / component that is solid.
2.Click "EXCHANGE".
3.Select "Type" in dialog.
It is all.
The longest edge of the group/ component is used to length about element of building structure.
Thanks.

Very good plug in indeed!!! Could this be modified so that you could use these steel sections as rafters, and be able to rotate them at a degree up or down on the axis that you have drawn. This would be great when modelling steel frames.

Cheers

Millzye

Couldn't you draw a 'wire frame' (for lack of a better way of saying it) then use the desired steel section tool to 'trace' along the wireframe line?

I've been working with your wonderful BuildingStuctureTools plugin recently. Are you planning on creating any additional tools (and icons) for your plugin?

Although it appears relatively easy to add additional profiles to the existing tools you've created, I think it would be even more convenient if there were separate tools for things such as:

"flanged" steel columns the (H-shapes as you've named them)
round steel columns
steel angles (L-shapes)
steel channels ([-shape)
C-shape steel (these appear to be steel studs)
T-shaped steel
flat bars

By adding more tools, the list for each tool would not be quite so long in the window menu that pops up. For example, instead of just one "steel column" tool, having one (with its icon) for each shape "type" (H, round, square) would be easier/faster to find the structural member needed.

Thanks,
