Boooom... You rock Tig. [image: IDvi_2015-2014-Plugins-List.JPG]

Looks like it will be available in December, from what I saw on their website this morning. I wonder what the pricing will be?

You must get in touch with the author of this Extension direct... It almost certainly uses some dll or similar PC helper files which must be made to be 32 or 64bit compatible. I assume their download site does not give clear guidance ?

I would like..... Pretty please. Produce a proper set of extrusion tools that is not just intended for flash roof building and can act the same as a cad program. Finally get rid of the extra facets and lines. Make a proper method of allowing close up view of components and groups for editing, WITHOUT clipping problems. I understand there are several plugins for the extrusion problem but they are limited. Oh, and 4. Continue to make the program more stable rather than adding extra functions.

No, it's a Sketchup exporter to Vue. Just upgraded my PLE to 2014 Vue. it seems a bit faster and more stable, has navigation customization. other than that have no played much.

Hi, This one will help you as well: https://extensions.sketchup.com/extension/c17d4dd1-19a0-4325-9b8e-aa2411970872/arcs-circles [image: uV5p_arccircles.jpg]

Which is really the point of this thread...more poly gones.

@ntxdave said: I have tried several times and continually get the error message I previously showed. Anyone have any idea about what I might be doing wrong? If I get this to work and I have my own classifications, is there a way to provide a drop down list of the classification categories so that I can just select the one the component belongs to? Not exactly how sure I am that this really accomplishes anything for me though. Exactly. If you create your own classification schema, it will allow you to assign your components as different "object types" from a list. In addition to that, once an object type is assigned, you can then set attribute values according to which object type you assigned. For example, you might have several object types in your classification schema: window, door, roof, wall, floor. The window object type, for example, might have the following attributes available: Manufacturer, model number, R-value, style, etc. So there's two levels of information: Tag it as a specific object type, then assign attributes according to the object type. So once you tag your window component as a "window object", you can then go to the Component Options window and set values for each of the attributes. The problem right now, as I see it, is the default schema is IFC2x3, which is utterly confusing for someone who doesn't know what IFC is. And it's not easy for the average person to learn how to create their own schema. Hopefully a solution is made to simplify the creation of custom classification schema. The advantage of adding this data, is that in LayOut 2015, the label tool can now READ that data from your viewports and display it in your LayOut documents. I'm sure we'll be seeing some plugins pop up for SketchUp that will create some nice reports of classification data as well.

Dear Friends, My new plugin ("MAJ Stair") is published in "Sketchup Extension Warehouse" for free now. I think you can make stairs in any shape by using this plugin. Please let me know your idea about it. Majid Mahmoudi

@box said: @baz said: This roof tin is 12mm off the purlins. And at this distance it shows. Closer the z dispersers, for me at large or small tis a dimensional problem when I intend to accurate meas in layout. I often spend time hiding edges, which solves the problem, (as long as you remember not to unhide when in the group). Baz that isn't Z-fighting it's part of opengl rendering. An explanation and workarounds can be found here. http://sketchucation.com/resources/tutorials/37-beginner/315-edges-bleeding-through-geometry I knew that

Thank you very much sir...

A new version of Vue came out about a month ago.

I just saw the reference of Kristoff and I will give this a try. Thank you so much. And thank you Kristoff for this: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3474

@jql said: Well, my method's objective is to explore conceptualy until construction documenting stage, wich I didn't explain much but consist of sectioncutfaces with 2D components for details of the dificult parts of construction. During the conceptual stages I also use a bit different method (the method above is my workflow during the construction documenting stage) - I still use solids but model the 'total package' as one object: a cavity wall is just one big solid (no subdivision for the inner and outer wall), the roof is one big solid as well etc. @jql said: In a construction document setup it's even faster. And it has to be as in our office I have several projects at one time. My construction documents take some time but I'm a one man office so I don't mind. I do several projects at the same time as well but using this workflow I'm more confident to prevent any mistakes. Also, I think its fun and the clients like it as well. I give them the 3d model and some of them use Sketchup for trying out stuff themselves. @jql said: SU model itself light enough for a my badtop (wich is where I do all my work too and present projects to clients). My models aren't that heavy either as long as I don't use components from the Warehouse but model things myself. I still use my old laptop (X61s - 2007) to present my models to my clients but my computer for doing the actual work is a powerful desktop. The methods will vary but the good part is, with Sketchup you can make a living as an architect which is a surprise to some of the people I know who work at (big) architecture firms and who look down on Ketchup (that's what they call it). Very interesting topic! regards, Max

You're not hijacking, that's just what this thread is for Phil...

@mbrightman said: Thanks for the feedback! Rather than directly commenting on past V1 posts, I want to reinvigorate the conversation by providing an extended trial license for CONDOC Pro V2. Please know that you will only get value out of the CONDOC Tools if you have SketchUp Pro 2014/2015, watch our tutorials, and stick to the model organization system. Don't worry, in the download package there are some sample projects to play with. Watch required tutorials http://www.condoctools.com/support Download everything you need for your SketchUp version at the following links... SU2014, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9255258/ConDoc%20v.2%20-%20SketchUp%202014.zip SU2015, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9255258/ConDoc%20v.2%20-%20SketchUp%202015.zip The trial license expires September 1, 2015. After that, you can still access a free trial of ConDoc V2 perspective tool at wwww.condoctools.com. 81bd27bdc146994a9a1aad2095868fc4 I am specifically interested in your feedback on the value of the tools, template, layering system, workflow, and SketchUp standards that CONDOC provides. Let me know what you guys think! Hello Mike - I have been using your workflow for more than a year and am now using SU for all my residential construction documents. While Condoc's looks interesting, I have some concerns about being able to fully control the aesthetic quality of my CD's using Condoc's. Of course the time savings would be great (manually stacking the view ports gets old), but I fear in using Condoc's all the time savings would be undone by having to go back and redo hatch patterns and line weights to my specific needs. How would I address this concern using Condocs? Thanks, Barbara

Interesting... thanks boys.
