SketchUp Plugins




Hi there! Thanks for your interest in my SketchUp plug-ins.

Although these plugins are free for you to use however you like, they do represent many hours of time and effort.

If you find any of them useful, or if one has saved you time or toil, please put a value to it and make a one-time purchase. Thanks.

-- Jim

Anonymous,

Right-click the link to the follow_this1.rb file, and select Save As to download the file to you computer. Then, move the file to the SketchUp/Plugins folder.

Thanks for those plugins, I will try them.
Still nothing about being able to duplicate a point of view from one sketchup model to another sketchup model? XYZ coordonates of the camera + XYZ coordonates of what you are looking at, or something like that.

Thanks

Is there a plugin, other than the free cost estimator, that allows you to continually keep track of each material with a price per square foot? With the free estimator that sketchup comes with, you have to explode your entire model for it to work and continually check it if you change something.

Is there a plugin that continually keeps track of the square footage per material and can you assign a price per square foot to a material that will update real time? Basically an excel spreadsheet that continually updates itself.

Thank you.

I would also like this plug in if it is available? (Is there a plugin, other than the free cost estimator, that allows you to continually keep track of each material with a price per square meter? With the free estimator that sketchup comes with, you have to explode your entire model for it to work and continually check it if you change something). or how would I go about editing the free estimator so that it could do more. I am sure that this would be one of the most downloaded rubies ever.

hello Jim,
Do you have a list of compatiable SU7 plugins at all.?
Cheers Jeff

Jim Foltz said...

Hi Jeff,

I don't have a list - most all plugins are forward compatible; but I haven't tried them all.

Hey Jim, thanks a lot for some real nice plugins, specially mover2 is good.
Do you have any plans on making a subdivision tool?
For Sketchup it would be a leap forward to be able to model in a more organic way.
Any thoughts?
