Eneroth Align Face – The newest sketchup plugin

Christina Eneroth has developed Eneroth Align Face. This newest sketchup plugin is compatible with SketchUp 2016, SketchUp 2017, SketchUp 2018. The plugin is designed for different type of industries like Architecture, Construction, Education, Engineering, Film & Stage, Gaming, Heavy Civil, Interior Design, Kitchen & Bath, Landscape Architecture, Urban Planning, Woodworking, Other.

This tool arranges faces in a line to provided planes. The plugin will be mostly effective in some cases where the native Move, Rotate or Push/Pull Tools can’t function because of connected faces.

Turn on the tool from Extensions > Eneroth Align face or its toolbar. Click a face to be aligned and then click the face to align it to. Just suppress Shift to lock the orientation if it is required by the face to be plane-parallel to a specific face, e.g. retain its own orientation, but arranged elsewhere.

It is also possible to provide a perfect dimension to offset the plane of the face. Every time, when a face is aligned to a plane-parallel plane, either by providing a perfect distance or by selecting a point in the model, the offset distance is memorized and re-used in a different place with the double click of the mouse. To offset in opposite direction, hold Shift at the time of double clicking.

nz_LevelFinder – The newest sketchup extension

Find Levels (z-values) is created on the basis of any two known points. It is possible to obtain a level among the two points or project from them to obtain that level along the delimited line.

It is mostly suitable for designing ramps as well as determining points and contours inside incomplete surveys etc.

Detect levels (z-values) on the basis of any two known points.

One can get the following :-

A level among any two points that facilitates you to have the following :-

• Locate missing points inside an incomplete survey. (a straight slope among the two points is a fair assumption)
• Draw or complete countour lines
• Detect a certain point on a diagonal line that is of a particular height to your datum point.

A level at the junction of a line and the z-plane at any specified height: It facilitates you to do the following :-

• Design or expand a ramp to attain a set landing arranged at a definite level.
• Find out a point in order that it is possible to expand a line/plane to fit a prearranged height
• Virtually Expand Line (vertically)

All your RL (Relative Levels) to any Datum Point: It facilitates you to document work.

The extension can also be utilized to fix a datum and document all your z-values (relative levels).

Some useful tips on Sketchup’s Arc Tool

This exclusive sketchup video is a part of sketchup skill builder series. In this video some useful tips are provided for using Arc tool in sketchup efficiently. The following topics are covered in the video :-

Different version of the Arc Tool
Variation among single and double clicking to finish an Arc
How the Arc cursor notifies you regarding the step of drawing of an arc that you are working with.

If the users click on the drop down menu of Arc Tool, there are four diverse types of arcs like Arc, 2 point Arc, 3 Point Arc and Pie.

• 2 Point Arc tool: This tool facilitates you to set two points and then draw out a bulge to produce the arc.
• Arc tool: This tool allows you to set a center point. There is a protractor that can be used to set the beginning and ending of the arc depending on your preferred angle. This tool generates an open arc.
• Pie tool: This tool functions just like the Arc tool, but generates a closed shape that turns out to be a face.
• 3 Point Arc tool: This tool allows you to draw an open arc on the basis of a pivot point.

Prior to draw arcs, learn how the arc entities function:

• An arc comprises of several connected line segments, but it is suggested to choose and edit an arc as a single entity.
• An arc can describe the edge of a face and divide a face.
• Even though an arc is one entity, the SketchUp inference engine views all the segments that form the arc and show up any geometric point if you hover your cursor over one.

• You can notify SketchUp how many segments should be applied in an arc entity. The default is 12 segments. If lots of segments are utilized, the arc turns out to be more complicated and it becomes difficult for SketchUp to display your model. If there are under 12 segments your model becomes simple, but the arc may appear as blocky.

Point Cloud Importers – The newest sketchup extension

D Charlton has developed point cloud importer. It is an exclusive sketchup extension that is compatible with Sketchup 2014, Sketchup 2015, Sketchup 2016 and Sketchup 2017.

In this extension, there are wide array of sketchup importers and these are used to import small point cloud files which are available in .pts, .xyz, .svy, .txt format.

With this plugin, it is possible to import point coordinates as a group of SketchUp construction points and utilize them to make the modeling process easier.

This sketchup extension can include the various functionalities like Text - PTS Format (.pts), Text - SURVEY Format (.svy), Text - TXT Format (.txt), Text - XYZ Format (.xyz) to the import menu.

Import Options comprise of Import Units, Decimation, Set Point Color, PTS File Structure (xyziRGB | xyzi | xyzRGB), Layer Assignment.

The extension allows importing of up to 1,000,000 points per import, and file sizes should be under 1GB. Import times fluctuate according to the point count.

It is suggested that imported point clouds include < 100,000 points so that import times become perfect and model performance is not hampered. By default, point clouds will be decimated to 25,000 points. Though, it can be modified under import options.

To raise productivity, the Importers are utilized together with other point cloud software so that the users will be able to split up bigger, more complicated datasets into smaller and more manageable pieces.

Working with smaller, decimated point cloud fragments in SketchUp helps to maintain good overall model performance is sustained as smaller, decimated point cloud fragments can be managed in sketchup. The modelers get the ability to focus on the development of one specific component or element at a time.

MapSpacer – Plan Your Space Better Virtually

SketchUp goes beyond any limit to provide the maximum benefits to the designers and artists. Extensions are introduced to venture into the unexplored areas proficiently. MapSpace is such an extension that helps event planners and organizers map an event space properly.

The preloaded features in the extension cover every area required your consideration while planning a grand event in a large space.

The regular scenario presents that planners and event organizers face certain problems related to the space distribution for speakers, product demonstration and foot traffics. A few conventional software applications serve the interest but not as precisely as MapSpacer does. With Atlas3D, planners and event organizers handle the task in a better way adopting the best possible routes to organize things. They can even go on a 3D tour in the space and witness the plan like never before. Modifying spaces according to your needs is not a tough task as you can change everything prior to the settings. The spaces for booths, kiosks, stages and seating can also be mapped out easily with this software application.

Data managers have to perform their roles attentively to make the design effective that follows physical security as well as the cooling configuration. MapSpace is a place that requires the work of both event managers and IT professionals to carve out a better plan for any event.

Modification can be done several times until the plan works as per the expectation. This application brings the design to live for communicating better with clients. They not only visualize the space but also walk through virtually to analyze every corner just like they do in real world.

The application is widely used in the areas like a convention centre, data centre or hotel meeting space. The application of this software is done by Orange Country Convention Centre, a seven million square foot convention centre in Florida. The centre has been known as the world’s largest and most high-tech centre that gives spaces for more 200 events every year. OCCC has digitalized the space through Atlast 3D interactive map platform that helps planners and organizers access to the place remotely to arrange events.

This new area seems profitable for the organizers and for the event planning industry. Since MapSpacer virtually presents the space to you, a better event planning is no longer a tough task.
