Download Ambient Occlusion Style 1.0

Ambient Occlusion Style 1.0 is the newest paid sketchup plugin that is available in extension warehouse. This plugin is developed by Rafael Rivera.

This sketchup plugin is compatible with SketchUp 2016, SketchUp 2017, SketchUp 2018.

This sketchup plugin can be applied to create fake ambient occlusion in SketchUp with various colors for concave and convex edges which are adjusted in the material editor. By default, the concave material is dark to create the edge look like a shadow and the convex edges are painted white to provide a highlight effect.

Once the tool is operated all the convex edges are concealed but another tool button is arranged to simply switch concealed geometry on and off so as to unhide the convex edges as per your requirement.

Besides, three pages are built with various edge widths in order that your favorite can be selected easily.

This sketchup extension is available in extension warehouse with free trial version.

Go through the following video tutorial to learn the functionality of the plugin.

Reduce your time significantly to create 2D, 3D drawings & 3D renders with WIC3D

Wicona, the leading solution provider in Aluminum façade, has recently launched a new software tool that can significantly minimize the necessary time for generating 2D and 3D drawings and 3D renders.

WIC3D is based on digital drawing platform that can be applied from the initial phases of schematic design. The designers will be able to discover alternative façade solutions. It can function with the description, analysis and visualization of architecture and facilitates project stakeholders to evaluate the influence of various façade choices and changes.

The user-friendly tool allows architects, engineers and fabricators to draw initial design concepts and ideas instantly and efficiently as well as integrate Wicona’s extremely engineered curtain walling, window, door and solar shading systems.

WIC3D is a perfect modeling software for designing, visualizing, documenting, and communicating façade solutions.

WIC3D can generate perfectly scaled drawings and at the same time enhance exactness and save time. The façade designs are demonstrated both internally and externally facilitating proportions, configurations and options for being evaluated and developed.

The modeling tool is specially created to interface with most recognized CAD systems to import and export 2D and 3D design drawings.

WIC3D offers the following functionalities:

▪ 3D visualizations generated with Google SketchUp can be imported into WIC3D to create and demonstrate 3D renders highlighting WICONA façade systems where necessary in the 3D construction.

▪ 2D elevation drawings can be delivered into WIC3D to be applied as a template to produce 3D renders. These can then be exported to be applied with all leading CAD software together with AutoCAD®, Bentley®, ArchiCAD and ADT.

▪ It is also possible to export 3D renders to be applied with Google SketchUp or in 3ds format to be applied with AutoDesk 3ds Studio Max.

One can access WIC3D through the Wicona WIC3D website for a free 30-day trial (www.wic3d-wicona.com) and there is a demonstration video to view.
