SketchOSM by PlaceMaker - New Horizons in Parametric World Modeling

Have you ever wondered, why not put your neighborhood on the map? The SketchOSM plugin for SketchUp, by PlaceMaker, lets you do just that! You can create parametric buildings in a few quick clicks and share them with the world in a jiffy.

Trimble SketchUp is famous for its flexibility, which comes from its ability to integrate many extensions or plugins from various sources. Though only SketchUp Pro and above can do this, it is still an awesome way to customize and empower this lovely modeling and rendering software.

One such great extension is SketchOSM by PlaceMaker.

What is SketchOSM by PlaceMaker?

The main functionality of the extension is two-fold. First, it lets you create 3D buildings that add site context to your model. You can do it by establishing a constant, which, in the equation of a curve or surface, can be varied to represent a family of curves or surfaces.

Secondly, you can share these buildings with the world by directly uploading them to OpenStreetMap. Yes, you guessed right, this is how the plugin gets its name, by combining the software and service names.

If you don’t know, OpenStreetMap is an enormous database of geoinformation, available to everybody on earth. It is accessible and editable by anyone.

It’s a completely free service, with no hidden charges or advertisements. Many devices and services already use them like car or phone GPS, websites, apps, and of course, millions of people.

STX (Section Tool eXtended) facilitates the users to simply generate easy sections having individual depth and differentiate among visible, cut and hidden components and demonstrate them in the preview with several colors. Sections are exported as DXF or GLASER -isb cad.
GLASER STX allows the definition of any cut depth, comes up with suitable functions for individual treatment of the section drawings and maximize the export to GLASER isb cad or into the DXF-format. Unnecessary components in the construction drawing, e.g. hidden edges, are filtered.
The same is applicable to 3D-layers for several components, which are also exportable. Consequently, a construction drawing is produced that is properly customizable to your needs. It can be instantly passed to GLASER isb cad or saved in DXF-format.
It is possible to simply identify any section planes with individual cutting depths and transmit them to GLASER isb cad . Along with SketchUp Pro one can implement the world of BIM data (IFC) for further editing.

Quantifier Pro is a powerful sketchup plugin for cost estimation

This plugin can work out area, volume, length weight and costs in sketchup.
Compute Area
Measure the area of walls, slabs, roofing, flooring, cladding, and more. The calculation is done for both projected area (for objects with thickness) and surface area.
It produces a quick Material Report providing the surface area measurement of all the materials in your SketchUp model.
Volume Calculation
Quantifier Pro?s volume calculator is applied to calculate the total volume of groups and components and any nested objects inside. It can also work out the volume of objects which are not water-resistant solids.
It can also determine the volume of concrete, gravel, topsoil, water tanks, and more.
Measure Weight
To compute the weight of the objects in your sketchup model, attribute a unit weight density to the objects layer.
Unit weight is attributed with volume, area, or length.

Sky View Analysis is the newest member in the extension warehouse

Sky View Analysis is an exclusive sketchup plugin that can be used to work out sky exposure and sky view factor.
SVF: Sky View Factor (SVFs) demonstrates the ratio at a point in space among the visible sky and a hemisphere centered over the analyzed location (Oke 1981).
• If SVF of a point is 0 the entire sky is barred from view through obstacles.
• If SVF of a point is 1 the whole sky is free from view through obstacles (ideal rural scenario).
A relation persists among Sky View Factor and Radiation.
for SVF = 0 :
1. there is no short-wave reflection
2. there is no long-wave nocturnal interference
for SVF > 0 :
1. incoming day-time short-wave reflection is raised throughout the day
2. outgoing night-time long-wave radiation is decreased
3. incoming night-time long-wave radiation is raised
4. altered soil heat flux
Features:
• Generate Sky Exposure Mask
• Generate Sky View Factor Mask
• Apply several times similar dome for Sky Exposure measurement
It belongs to an open source plugin and it is available in GitHub-AntonelloDN
For online demonstration, go through the following video tutorial.

Top 10 House Modeling Extensions for SketchUp

About SketchUp’s Extension Warehouse: The SketchUp Extension Warehouse is an online resource full of plug-ins and developed especially for SketchUp and these extensions allow users to add special tools and features to SketchUp. Users can find different extensions for a particular application like drawing or 3D printing and industry-definite tools like extensions for architecture, interior design, construction and many more.
Here are some top 10 House Building Extensions for SketchUp which will help users to build models easily:
  • Medeek Foundation: Medeek Foundation is an elaborated foundation building extension that gives permission to the users to build perfect concrete foundations for every building and this extension can also create everything like from anchor bolts to rebar for users’ foundations.
  • Housebuilder: Housebuilder basically an older extension containing a set of tools which are designed to help users in modeling house framing and it has everything like from framed flooring to wall framing. Here users can go back to their previous work and can add and move around created doors and windows to walls as well as also can create roof framing. But this older extension might lead people with some problems while getting it installed in their computers.
  • Profile builder: Profile Builder is actually a smart profile building extension that set up wall bodies instead of creating wall framing within profile builder that includes different things like framing, sheathing, drywall and insulating batt. After creating these assemblies within Profile Builder, users can also arrange a program of materials which allows evaluating the things within the model; users can also create things like stair rails and other objects with repeating pieces with the help of this extension.
  • 1001 Bit Tools: This is a set of tools which is designed to make architectural modeling easier than before and this extension has every kind of building tools like from wall building tools, tools to add openings to those tools, stair creation tools, door and window frame tools, roof framing tools etc. So basically it is a huge toolset that has many useful tools also for every user.
  • Tig Roof: This extension is designed to help users in creating different types of complex roofs easily and it works on simple rectangular roofs with complex shapes that give a lot of flexibility while working with various shaped buildings.
  • Medeek Wall: This is the newest extension from Nathaniel Medeek that helps users in creating detailed wall assemblies within SketchUp and helps users in creating similar framed walls within SketchUp models with a focus modeling walls. The openings may be moved and adjusted in real time as it is still under testing process.
  • Plusspec: This is not a normal house modeling extension rather it is designed to bring true BIM to SketchUp as it has a large case suite of a building creation tools and also some tools to make mechanical and electrical in the drawings, for designing the communication of notes, costs and more.
  • Medeek Truss: This is from the same house of other Medeek extensions and is designed to create accurate trusses in the model; it can also create and show real trusses, though there is a lot of different truss option. Users not only can add different types of roof trusses but floor trusses also
  • Gkware Cabinet Maker:This extension helps users to create quickly accurate cabinets within their SketchUp models and helps to edit every single part of the cabinets. This extension models the cabinets that will give a look of originally built and allows great accuracy in the model.
  • Floor Generator:This helps to create difficult flooring within the models and helps to create shapes like brick, tile, sliding and many more within the model. Users can create flooring with real depth and can apply textures to the materials.
