2019 GLASER STX (1.0.10) for Sketchup

2019 GLASER STX is the newest sketchup plugin available in extension warehouse. It is compatible with SketchUp 2016, SketchUp 2017, SketchUp 2018, SketchUp 2019.

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.

What’s New in SketchUp Pro 2020: Part 2

In our previous article, we have started talking about the all-new SketchUp Pro 2020 and the new features in it. We have mentioned the new scale figure, the interface enhancements, new object hiding selection, and new organizational abilities. While those were plenty exciting by themselves, it’s not all! SketchUp Pro has much more to offer. Let us see the rest of what’s new in the SketchUp Pro 2020.

Today, we will talk about the following:
New Nomenclature, LayOut 2020, Document control, Model Views, Customization, ...etc

The New Nomenclatures: The Trimble team has been deliberating over this for a while now. Without changing your workflow, the new naming conventions are supposed to give you better control over your model. The naming system is more logical now, and they sound more appropriate.

Naming changes in SketchUp 2020

a. ‘Objects’ now collectively mean groups and components. This includes dynamic components as well.
b. ‘Layers’ now are called tags.

This means you won’t have to use multiple words to mean a bunch of similar stuff now. Also, the thinking process of the designer changes depending upon the words that are used in the design interface.
