[request] plugin to use while distribute an program

Jorgensen · 22 Dec 2011, 15:31

Hi

Does anyone know if there is a plugin for use inside sketchup while one is sketching ?

We often start with a list of rooms and their sizes, a program. And it would be nice to use sketchup to distribute the rooms.

What I would like is a plugin where you enter the program (import excel file?) and somehow relate the single room to an face (or other object?) and when you scale the face the area updates.

The program and actual areas should be listed, on a scheme and on the object so one can se if the areas has the requestet size.

Does anyone know if such plugin exists ?

Thanks

check it out though..
