[Plugin] Simple Building Generator

[rizkynggakool]

Simple Building Generator
Generate As You Want

Overview :
This plugin generate textured building from marked floorplan(face).
The texture applied to building is chosen by user, therefore user have freedom to choose what building style suits best for their location.

Purpose :
Help urban planner or anybody that need textured building with different simple shape to reduce worktime.

Mass Building Placement

@thomthom said:

Would be useful for quick massing for larger areas, urban planning where you're not too concerned about the exact look of the building - just as long as it looks representative of the area.

Game Development

@krisidious said:

Could be very useful for game building...
Especially flight sims where you could trace out a rough draft over sat images.

Usage :

1. Mark face with some material
2. Select the face
3. Run Simple Building Generator (refer to manual)
   *** make sure to save your setting otherwise you have to reinput each time you want to generate buildings**
4. Enjoy your generated buildings
5. In order to use the quick generate building you must at least create one building and save all the setting

Manual :

• General Setting :

• Floorplan material name
  The floorplan material name is the material name used for marking the target faces.

• Erase floorplan face when done?
  If you set this to yes, after the building is generated the marked faces you've select before will be erased.

• Ground floor height (in m)
  This is the ground floor of your building, the units is in metre. If you set it to 0 then the ground floor menu will be disabled.

• Floor height (in m)
  This is the core of your building, the units is in metre. This setting define the height of each floor in your building (not the height of your building). Setting it to 0 will disable it.
  *** currently each floor generated only have the same height, but in the future (if this project continue) there will be a feature to have different height. As I saw on CGTextures some textures have varies floor height**

• Randomize rooftop floor material
  When this is set to "Yes" the generated buildings will have a randomized rooftop floor based on "Rooftop floor material" input.
  *** please read about random mode for further details**

• Rooftop floor material
  This is your rooftop material (or list of your rooftop material). Possible inputs are single name of your material (if you don't randomize your rooftop floor material) or several name of your materials (separated by comma).
  *** please read about random mode for further details**

• Rooftop edge height (in m)
  This is the height of your rooftop edges, the units is in metre. Setting it to 0 will disable it.
  *** currently there is no random height features, but in the future (if this project continue) the rooftop edges will be randomized according to the building styles**

• Fit texture? (Introduced in v1.02)
  If you set this option to "Yes" then the texture (if material have texture) applied to the building will be fitted to the faces.
  *** in the future (if this project continue) there will be fit texture based on material info to solve the stretched/shrinked texture problem**

• Random texture mode? (Introduced in v1.03)
  The "Individual" mode will randomized the list of available material in each setting (General Setting/Ground Floor Setting/Floor Setting/Rooftop Edges Setting) without needs of input equality between each randomized material (ex. : If your rooftop has 4 materials in random list, other randomized materials shouldn't have 4 materials in random list).

The "Set" mode will randomized the list of available material globally, therefore you should have an equal input to each randomized materials (ex. : If your rooftop has 4 materials in random list, other randomized materials should have 4 materials in list).

You can increase the rate of building appearance by inserting over and over again (ex. : "rooftop_1,rooftop_1,rooftop_2" with this the "rooftop_1" will have twice the chance of appearance).

The "Set" mode can be use to create a style of random building (which will be replaced in the future), example is like below :
If you want to have :

"Building Type 1" with ground floor material "GR1", floor material "FL1", rooftop floor material "RF1", rooftop edges "RE1"
and
"Building Type 2" with ground floor material "GR1", floor material "FL2", rooftop floor material "RF1", rooftop edges "RE1"

then you can insert the setting like this :
Rooftop floor material : RF1,RF1
Ground floor material : GR1,GR1
Floor material : FL1,FL2
Rooftop edges material : RE1,RE1
*** current random system mode is absolutely not user friendly, but it is very versatile and powerful if you willing to learn about it**

• Save current setting? (Introduced in v1.05)
  This save the current general setting, if you quit SketchUp the setting will be lost.
  *** I don't plan to have any save to file features as I don't want to touch any part of your disk, instead in the future I will give you one-liner option that you can use to save and load by yourself.**

• Use previous setting? (Introduced in v1.05)
  This load the previous general setting saved, if you quit SketchUp the setting will be lost, therefore there is no previous saved setting.

• Ground Floor Setting :

• Randomize ground floor material?
  When this is set to "Yes" the generated buildings will have a randomized ground floor based on "Ground floor material name" input.
  *** please read about random mode for further details**

• Ground floor material name
  This is your ground floor material (or list of your ground floor material). Possible inputs are single name of your material (if you don't randomize your ground floor material) or several name of your materials (separated by comma).
  *** please read about random mode for further details**

• Save current setting? (Introduced in v1.05)
  This save the current ground floor setting, if you quit SketchUp the setting will be lost.

• Use previous setting? (Introduced in v1.05)
  This load the previous ground floor setting saved, if you quit SketchUp the setting will be lost, therefore there is no previous saved setting.

• Floor Setting :

• Randomize floor material?

  *** please read about random mode for further details**

• Floor level
  This will be the amount of levels your building will have, if "Randomize floor level" is set to "Yes" this setting will be overrided.

• Randomize floor level
  Set this to "Yes" so that the generated buildings will have different amount of levels.

• Floor level (min)
  This will be the minimum amount of levels your building will have, if "Randomize floor level" is set to "No" this setting is disabled.

• Floor level (max)
  This will be the maximum amount of levels your building will have, if "Randomize floor level" is set to "No" this setting is disabled.

Excellent for a second post! Contact the moderators and get it published to the pluginstore, it also affords you a new "badge" below your handle...

If I recall correctly, something similar was done by one of the other plugin authors, Julia Cristina Eneroth, however I can't seem to find it.

How to contact the moderators?
And what is the benefit by having badge?

I don't know that, all I know when I google "SketchUp Building Generator" these two topics showed up :
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=314%26amp;t=19410
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=314%26amp;t=19524
That's why when I first post in this site I add remus name to my post
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180%26amp;t=62713

Anyway, have you tested my plugin? Did it work as you or I expected?
Please share if there's any problem

very nice... now all I need is a city to map.

I found the extension, strange that it wasn't on her site, from I could tell...

http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/eneroth-townhouse-system-beta

Probably not quite the same as what you're doing, but not too dissimilar either.

[thomthom]

This is looking very nice!

CityGen faded away because none of us had time to continue it. Always felt bad about that one as it felt like a good collaboration project.

Thank you very much kris

Yes, it's sad that the major problem is this plugin is useless without any city map

Do you know any site that provide 2D city map?
If you do, I will create tips section for that and put it in the first post.
I'm sure that it'll help a lot people

That plugin is awesome

Both are "Building Generator" and aim to reduce worktime.
Her plugin create a house, mine create a skyscrapper
And judging by how her plugin work I bet it's far more harder to create than this one

Thank you very much thom...
Having a predecessor says something about what I'm working on is a morale boost

Sad to know that CityGen was never complete, but I'm glad CityGen dev team have a better job

Wow. This is an excellent plugin. The great thing about this is that the shapes are simple rectangular volumes which lend better for urban landscapes as opposed to pitched roofs. Well done!

[Ralle]

Hi, rizkynggakool.

Nice script, but i can´t get it work. I´m running on SU2015, and i got a big errormessage with a lot of content. It seems to expect something. In the description
you mentioned a dependencie with "offset.rb" - incuded. I can not find it anywhere.
May be that this is my problem ??

Greetings ...

I'm sorry for the late reply, I've been busy with my college for a few days

Anyway, have you tried the new v1.07 ?
I'm pretty sure it'll reduce your worktime even more

Hi Ralle, thank you for contacting me and for the feedback.

What kind of error message?
Could you provide some screenshot?

Yes, it's using offset.rb by Rick Wilson from smustard.
but that shouldn't be problem anymore since I already included the offset.rb inside this plugin.

[nektares]

i guess i got the same message on the ruby console u_u it´s this one:
i hope it has an easy fix!

[MidgeUre]

Hello there.
Well, I having the same error of nektares and menelao47. I'm using Sketchup 2015 and trying the Simple Building Generator v1.07 in Windows 7 64 bit.

This plugin seems to work with Sketchup 2013, but not with Sketchup 2015.

These tools are so useful for urban modelling. Thanks to all you developers who have put a lot of time into coding these plugins.
ThomThom mentioned above that he has felt bad about the CityGen project coming to a standstill. What a pity it's not continuing. I have been hunting for months for SKU plugins and other software that can export to SKU (eg in Collada format) to assist with street / city modelling and in a number of places I have looked I find projects partly finished and discontinued. City Engine is great but it's huge bucks when you come to add the plugins in to export in, say, Collada format.
So, to encourage all you coders - there are many of us, I'm sure, who would love to see a comprehensive urban modelling addition for SketchUp. Don't stop the coding please.
Best regards,
Garth
