<p dir="auto">Long-time SketchUp user (20+ years on the tools as a practicing architect),<br />
first-time plugin author posting here. I wanted to share what I've been<br />
building, get your hands on it, and hear what's broken.</p>
<p dir="auto">THE ITCH I WAS SCRATCHING<br />
─────────────────────────<br />
SketchUp is the fastest tool I know for thinking through a building. But<br />
the moment a project moves past concept, three things start eating my day:</p>
<pre><code>• Walls that don't behave like walls, every opening is a manual hole
  through every layer
• Importing a client's PDF floor plan and tracing it from scratch
• Counting materials at the end of the job, by hand, group by group
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">I tried Medeek, PlusSpec, and a few others. Heavy, opinionated, framing-<br />
focused. I wanted something lighter, the SketchUp ethos, but with walls<br />
that actually know they're walls.</p>
<p dir="auto">WHAT MUZWALLS DOES<br />
──────────────────<br />
1. Parametric walls — single skin or cavity (brick veneer + studs +<br />
plasterboard, etc). Edit the type, every instance updates.<br />
2. Mitered wall chains — corners stay clean when you change widths<br />
3. Curved walls — true arc-segmented geometry, not faceted boxes<br />
4. Self-healing openings — drop a window, the wall heals. Move it,<br />
it heals again. Delete it, ditto. Through every layer of a cavity.<br />
5. Linear profiles — sills, capping, skirting, handrails. Sweep<br />
along any edge.<br />
6. PDF floor plan import — drop a PDF, scale it to a known dimension,<br />
trace it. (Demo GIF below.)<br />
7. One-click quantity takeoff — every wall, opening, profile, and<br />
material exported to CSV/Excel. By type, by storey, by room.</p>
<p dir="auto">WHAT IT DELIBERATELY DOESN'T DO<br />
───────────────────────────────<br />
• No cloud account. No telemetry. Works fully offline after activation.<br />
• No central library server — libraries live inside the .skp file,<br />
so they travel with the project.<br />
• No framing engine. (Medeek owns that space and does it well.)<br />
• Not trying to be Revit. If you need full BIM, this isn't it.<br />
• No macOS yet — Windows only for v2.0. On the roadmap, no ETA I'm<br />
willing to commit to publicly. If you're on Mac and the rest of<br />
the pitch resonates, reply here and I'll bump you up the waitlist.</p>
<p dir="auto">PRICING<br />
───────<br />
US$19/month or $190/year. 3-day free trial, no card required.<br />
SketchUp Pro 2022+, Windows only (macOS on the roadmap).</p>
<p dir="auto">→ Free trial: <a href="https://muzwalls.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://muzwalls.com</a></p>
<p dir="auto">FOR SKETCHUCATION MEMBERS<br />
─────────────────────────<br />
Reply in this thread for a 14-day extended trial (instead of 3) — I'll<br />
DM you the licence. I'd rather you have time to actually put it through<br />
a real project than rush to a verdict in 72 hours. If it works for you,<br />
leave an honest review on the plugin store. If it doesn't, tell me here<br />
why and I'll fix it.</p>
<p dir="auto">WHAT I'D LOVE FEEDBACK ON<br />
─────────────────────────<br />
1. Is the cavity-wall workflow obvious or does it need a tutorial?<br />
2. Anyone in the UK/AU using imperial+metric mixed? I want to make<br />
sure unit handling doesn't bite anyone.<br />
3. What's missing that would make this a one-click decision for you?</p>
<p dir="auto">Cheers,<br />
