MUZWalls v2.0 — parametric walls, openings, and one-click takeoff (built by an architect)

Muzwalls

G'day all,

Long-time SketchUp user (20+ years on the tools as a practicing architect),
first-time plugin author posting here. I wanted to share what I've been
building, get your hands on it, and hear what's broken.

THE ITCH I WAS SCRATCHING
─────────────────────────
SketchUp is the fastest tool I know for thinking through a building. But
the moment a project moves past concept, three things start eating my day:

• 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

I tried Medeek, PlusSpec, and a few others. Heavy, opinionated, framing-
focused. I wanted something lighter, the SketchUp ethos, but with walls
that actually know they're walls.

WHAT MUZWALLS DOES
──────────────────
1. Parametric walls — single skin or cavity (brick veneer + studs +
plasterboard, etc). Edit the type, every instance updates.
2. Mitered wall chains — corners stay clean when you change widths
3. Curved walls — true arc-segmented geometry, not faceted boxes
4. Self-healing openings — drop a window, the wall heals. Move it,
it heals again. Delete it, ditto. Through every layer of a cavity.
5. Linear profiles — sills, capping, skirting, handrails. Sweep
along any edge.
6. PDF floor plan import — drop a PDF, scale it to a known dimension,
trace it. (Demo GIF below.)
7. One-click quantity takeoff — every wall, opening, profile, and
material exported to CSV/Excel. By type, by storey, by room.

WHAT IT DELIBERATELY DOESN'T DO
───────────────────────────────
• No cloud account. No telemetry. Works fully offline after activation.
• No central library server — libraries live inside the .skp file,
so they travel with the project.
• No framing engine. (Medeek owns that space and does it well.)
• Not trying to be Revit. If you need full BIM, this isn't it.
• No macOS yet — Windows only for v2.0. On the roadmap, no ETA I'm
willing to commit to publicly. If you're on Mac and the rest of
the pitch resonates, reply here and I'll bump you up the waitlist.

PRICING
───────
US$19/month or $190/year. 3-day free trial, no card required.

FOR SKETCHUCATION MEMBERS
─────────────────────────
Reply in this thread for a 14-day extended trial (instead of 3) — I'll
DM you the licence. I'd rather you have time to actually put it through
a real project than rush to a verdict in 72 hours. If it works for you,
leave an honest review on the plugin store. If it doesn't, tell me here
why and I'll fix it.

WHAT I'D LOVE FEEDBACK ON
─────────────────────────
1. Is the cavity-wall workflow obvious or does it need a tutorial?
2. Anyone in the UK/AU using imperial+metric mixed? I want to make
sure unit handling doesn't bite anyone.
3. What's missing that would make this a one-click decision for you?

Cheers,
Morteza

Appreciate the extended trial. Why does your site say $14.99/m or $119/yr and here its $19/m or $190/yr?

MtnArch

What version(s) of SketchUP will this work with?

Muzwalls

Hi Rich O Brien,

we have changed our pricing, the pricing on the website is correct.

Best Regards

@MtnArch Supports SketchUp 2024 and later versions

You do realize that the Medeek Wall plugin can operate in "No Framing" mode, all of the internal framing in a wall is replaced with a simple solid group. I think I put out a video explaining this about a year ago.

I am curious though to see how your extension works with interacting walls (ie. corners and tee intersections).

@medeek

Hey Nathan,

Thanks for pointing that out.

While Medeek Wall is excellent for framing, our primary focus with MuzWalls is specifically on masonry and solid wall construction.

We are developing the extension to handle the nuances of these workflows in depth.

Regarding wall interactions: MuzWalls utilizes a logic-based system for corners.

It features an auto-miter capability that detects when two walls meet and automatically calculates the connection based on their respective angles. This allows the walls to join seamlessly as a continuous structure rather than remaining as overlapping or separate groups.

We are continuously refining this system to ensure that masonry wall interactions inside SketchUp feel clean, intelligent, and highly automated.

We'd genuinely love to get your feedback on this — and the wider community's too. Draw a couple of walls, drop a window, drag an endpoint around and see how the corners hold up. 3-day trial, no card required: https://muzwalls.com
