Viewshed Analysis in SketchUp
-
Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone has come across a tool or plugin that performs viewshed analysis within SketchUp. I am aware that this can be done in ArcGIS, but I am looking to do this analysis in SU.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.....

Why don't you just use LightUp and set a powerful PointLight at each viewshed location.
You can even color-code them and the places which can see both locations will be a blend of colors.
Eg First location uses Red, second location uses Green. Places that can see both will be yellow.
Job done in under 1 second.
A large terrain with a couple of locations marked with PointLight components.
And the result:

Thanks Adam, that is great. Will it work if I add objects to the terrain, such as buildings or trees?

Sure, anything you like.
Suggest you just get a free demo of LightUp and give it a whirl.
