[Plugin] Skalp for SketchUp v2.0 (live section plugin)
-
Skalp has been designed and built as an easy to use yet powerful Live Section Tool. It represents the key missing features needed to realize a long standing dream: Create your stunning plans and elevations inside SketchUp.
The Skalp development Team has its roots in architecture and 3D software, but that doesn't mean Skalp is for architects or Pro users only. SketchUp is being used in so many disciplines nowadays. Which is why we intended Skalp to be as 'generic' as possible. This means we do not want to change or disrupt your specific workflow.

We feel Skalp should just try to respect whatever and however you're doing in SketchUp and simply boost your ability to create superb drawings.

Our main goal is to create a generic and easy to use tool... but with the ability to be extremely powerful.

Skalp is a generic live section tool, it can work nicely together with a lot of other architectural modeling plugins.
For Example BuildEdge (www.buildedge.com)

I see what you did there.

as an early buyer who complained about the lack of tutorials and guides it is only fair that I come here to say that the Skalp people have been posting very instructive short videos and in large number, covering many aspects of the plugin. at this rate, they will surely cover all of it.
besides, the latest user guide is superb in that it covers in detail all the features and tells us things that are not (yet?) in the videos.
skalp is a hugely useful plugin and is worth every cent you pay for it.

Thank you Edson. We appreciate this comment very hard.
More videos tutorials will follow daily until we cover every aspect of Skalp.Skalp for SketchUp Video Tutorials
We continue to work hard to make Skalp even beter. We just made a breakthrough in sectioning non-solids in SketchUp! Watch out to the upcoming betas...
We develop Skalp full-time with 2 people. It's our goal to make it the best section plugin there is.

a lengthy tutorial on the advanced use you describe from page 25 of the user guide would be very appreciated. everyone using Skalp professionally would thank you for that.

Edson,
It's my own favorite way of working which we use must of the time in our architectural office. Special for you I will make my next Video Tutorial on this advanced way of working.

Great!

On special request a Video Tutorial about Skalp Pattern Layers (color by layer).
Skalp Pattern Layers uses an undocumented feature of Color by Layer in combination with the hidden line render mode to create an architectural section with everything white in the model except the section.

very good! I know this was explained in the user guide but seeing you do it completes the information.
if I may suggest another topic for a video, how about one on how to save skalp settings to a sketchup template?
regards.

Edson,
After you setup a full Skalp model you can delete all entities, except the section planes and save it in a standard sketchup template.
