Recommended Extensions
Solar North (Pro only)
Provides tools for the set and display of the solar north angle that SketchUp uses to calculate the sun location, and therefore shadow directions. Useful if you’ve imported a model with a different “north” than SketchUp’s default.
Soap Skin & Bubble
This plugin allows you to apply a skin over edges to create complex curved surfaces. This Plugin comes as a Time-Limited Demo.
Path Copy
PathCopy allows you to select a path (edge, curve, or polyline*) and then select a group or component to copy along the selected path. You can choose to copy the group or component to a set spacing by typing the distance into SketchUp’s Value Control Box (VCB), or you can type 0 (zero) to copy to the path’s vertices. The group or component does not need to be on the path.
Curic SectionPlane Tool
The plugin offers the following functionalities:
Generate faces out of the section plane
Produce faces out of an object
Form boundary inside
Form boundary outside
Sun Hours
SunHours lets you fit a grid of desired density to any face or surface and then run an analysis on that grid that determines the amount of time that each point on the grid is in sunlight over the year, at the dates and times desired. The output is displayed as a heat map (which can also be customized) and exported as a CSV file.
SimLab PDF Exporter
Enables SketchUp users to share their 3D models in 3D PDF format.
This Plugin is a Time-Limited Demo.
