SketchUp Plugins & Extensions
We are veteran users of SketchUp and have been drawing with the software since its release. After many years using a wide variety of extensions that are available for SketchUp Pro & Studio, we have come up with a group of plugins we consider essential for users in certain industries to extend functionality for particular purposes and needs.
Professional 3D Rendering Software for Architects & Designers.
Enscape works directly inside your CAD software, allowing you to create amazing photorealistic images and simulation videos from your 3D models with just a few clicks – no uploading to the cloud or exporting to a separate program.
Architects and designers use FlexTools to create SketchUp doors, windows, stairs and other architectural elements, with exceptional levels of speed and control.
PlusSpec is the most powerful, affordable and easy to learn 3D BIM/Virtual Design Construction & Estimating software for the Design & Construction Industry.
SOFTWARE THAT COMMUNICATES THE WAY WE BUILD:
DESIGN SMARTER
ESTIMATE BETTER
BUILD EFFICIENTLY
Lightspeed parametric modelling
Skatter is a Sketchup extension that lets you "scatter" objects onto a surface.
SketchUp normally has a hard time when your scene contains lots of objects (e.g. trees and vegetation). With Skatter, that’s history now!
- Generate and render an unlimited amount of vegetation (Skatter works directly with render engines like Enscape & V-Ray for SketchUp)
- Extensive vegetation library with high quality grass, plants, trees etc.
- Fully parametric – Every option is saved so parameters can be easily changed at any point afterwards.
- Fine control over the scattering process;
- Scatter objects on surfaces, along curves, or individual points in the model
- Define areas with scattering
- Generate only the objects visible by the camera
- Distribute objects randomly, on a grid, or a mix of the two, on vertices, faces, etc.
- Randomise object placement by using random translation, rotation, scale, and mirroring
- Falloff parameters with areas, altitude, slope, camera clipping, to define smooth transitions
Convert high-poly models from other 3D programs into SketchUp models!
Import and simplify asset and material files from programs like 3ds max, Blender, Cinema4D, Quixel etc. adds support for bringing FBX, OBJ, STL, DAE file types into SketchUp and more.
Stop wasting your project budget on creating site context. PlaceMaker automates the creation of your site model with one click!
• Import High resolution aerial imagery from Google 3D Map Tiles
• Imports roads, walks, paths, water and 3D building massing models
• Imagery, roads, paths, water and buildings can be imported directly onto terrain.
