It is another
simple description about the SketchUp plugins, where we find 10 different
SketchUp plugins, its designing process in GIFs that are in the following link: www.archdaily.com
The following SketchUp plugins
are used in various processes and created by experts to make the SketchUp tool
more attractive and helpful for architects and designers. They can now use
Google locations also to create an appropriate design, the view, basic points
and finishing would be easier.
After
the successful 6th edition in 2007, SketchUp has become one of the world’s most
widely used 3D modeling software products. This success was possible for its
intuitive toolbar, interdisciplinary use within the creative industry and for a
free version that doesn’t use watermarks. Its open source library helped the
software provide a wide range of 3D objects, while hundred of users developed
their own plugins not only to solve the problems of each version but also to
exploit the potential of their tools.
This article is about the 10
new and really useful SketchUp plugins that will make any design much better
than before. Follow the link for the GIFs: www.archdaily.com
1. Multiple Offsets v4: This
plugin creates multiple offsets of selected surfaces in a model. And it is
created by Sam D Mitch.
2. Angular Dimension: It seems very basic and simple and this wasn’t included with SketchUp, but this was actually done by someone who took the time to program a plugin to fix it. It allows drawing angles and calculating on the surface of a volume. It is developed by SLBaumgartner.

3. Chain alongPath: It is created by
3dalbertsoft, helps to create a helical turbine by selecting a curve and a
predefined shape in SketchUp. From a dialog window numerous parameters can be
chosen to create the final shape. It is quite useful to define seams, seals,
springs, tensioners and cables.
4. LSS Matrix: It is created by Kirill B and it is used to create a sequence of chained components by simply updating the parent block.
5. Quad Face Tool: It is created by ThomThom, and it solves one of SketchUp’s major shortcomings that are its trouble working with non-flat surfaces. With this tool it is easy to create figures with continuous edges as topographies, or give a much more real surface to a helmet that was originally reticulated.

6. Location: This useful tool
helps to choose the satellite image of the place where the project is going to
end up by entering an exact address in Google Maps. Then, with a click, it is
easy to replicate the actual topography of that location.
7. Sketchy FFD: It is created by CPhillips and it helps to create an invisible control cage around an object. Actually it is a mesh defined by a series of points in its vertices and edges that helps to manipulate the dimensions of a selected object.
8. Components: It is created by Chris Fullmer, and it allows replicating a component onto a surface. It is highly recommended for designing parameterized facades.
9. Camer Tools: It is also created by ThomThom, and it offers a series of new cameras for projects’ animations.
10. Curviloft: It is created by Fred06, and generates parameterized volumes when a series of curves on a 3D model is selected. After creating, it offers nine different possibilities, including the possibility to redefine its final thickness. It is very useful for designing furniture.
