Appreciate your response. Look forward to future updates

Hi

Im only hours into this pluggin so forgive me if what Im asking is obvious.

ONE
Is there anyway to manipulate casement windows to become awning windows. Im kinda surprised there isn't a dedicated awning window option. Where Im from 90% of windows in modern homes are awning openings.

TWO
Alot of the buildings I design have uniform 3 window panels. I'll have an awning window 550mm at each end and a fix panel in the middle. Is there anyway to fix the two panels at the end and when you scale the window from 2000mm to 3000mm wide the middle panel changes only?

Cheers for any help

at holmes1977: which version of SketchUp Pro are you using?

SU 2016 Pro

I have been sitting on the fence for the longest time, when it comes to upgrading my software and workflow. I'm using sketchup to design and export to Autocad Ltd for drafting. My biggest problem is the drafting side of my work. Transferring information from sketchup to Autocad and then making changes is slow. I really like the look of Plus Spec but will not use it with layout. As I feel it doesn't work as a pure drafting tool, rather a good presentation tool. Which would leave me getting a subscription for Autocad Lt or Archicad Start Edition (The 2 most used software options in New Zealand market) and a subscription to Plus Spec.

Below are local prices for subscriptions. As you can see Plus Spec has a higher subscription than Autodesks Revit Lt Suite. It may be a better solution as some have suggested. But if I go for Plus Spec, then Im still gonna need a drafting program. It seems reading all the forum post there are a few of us in the same boat

Autocad Lt + Revit lt Subscription $627 USD per year
Archicad Start Edition Subscription $1598 USD per year
PlusSpec $729 USD Subscription per year

Question
Plus Spec seems a great package IF you use layout. But as I see it, would lose half of its benefits when exporting to other drafting software. Is anyone using Plus Spec in an Architectural office along with Autocad / Revit and can suggest a good work flow?

Surprised no one else has had this problem. Thanks for those that read and tried Im sure.

Cheers

Hi

Havent had this problem before. Every time I open this job and all the previous saves in this job I get this message:

The object area "Foundation" has been deleted or removed in the models hierarchy, please select it again.

When I press OK, sketchup freezes for a while. Then the message pops up again. I cant even close sketchup, without opening Task manager and forcing a shut down. I have been using Skatter and think I may have named a group "foundation"

Hi Team

Like I said this has happened before.
I re-installed nvidia drivers and the problem has solved itself. Like you guys, it felt like a stuck key problem. I do remember now that re-installing graphics driver fixed it last time. How that seems to effect certain tools in SU I have no idea.

Thanks so much for your help

Hi Guys

I have come across this problem in the past and solved it. But can't remember and cant find any solutions online. There are 2 problems which must be linked together.

PROBLEM 1
PROCESS
1.) I draw a square (4 lines and a face)
2.) Use the push/pull tool to form a cube

RESULT
The square (4 line and a face) moves in the direction I use the push/pull tool without forming a cube.So it acts like the move tool.

PROBLEM 2
PROCESS
1.) Select the paint bucket tool

RESULT
Instead of the paint bucket tool appearing the select paint (eye dropper) appears.

I require people to pay in phases. Sketch, Preliminary and the Construction docs. They pay at the beginning of each phase.

That sounds like a good approach - I think I'll have to give it a go some time. Normally I rely on a rock-solid contract and a 50% deposit (if they won't pay that then it's usually a good indicator that you'll have trouble collecting your fees at the end of a project).

Same process here. Worked well for the last 10yrs

I am also confused... why nobody is interested in..

If you had made this using Thea Render I would purchase in a heart beat.
