W06 | Plugins and Scripting for Architects: Hands-On Workshop

Presented by Alexander Schreyer

In this workshop, we will go from finding and downloading plugins that help you simplify day-to-day tasks to using some easy Ruby scripts in SketchUp to cope with the custom tasks for which no plugin exists. First, we will go over how to find plugins and how you install them. Nowadays, there is a multitude of plugins available and many of them are either low-cost or free. We will also cover some basic plugin organization principles that will leave SketchUp running smoothly for you.

Then you’ll get to use some of those plugins to perform common tasks (such as creating a terrain model using the Slicer plugin, for example). This will help you start building a collection of super-useful plugins that you won’t be able to live without. Finally, you will get to use Ruby code to completely bend SketchUp to your will. This part won’t be hard—there is no need to learn Ruby at all (yet). We will simply re-use simple code snippets that you can copy, paste, and modify to your needs. What can you do with this? You can, for example, create undulating geometry, arrange building elements according to solar angles or report data from your SketchUp model.

You can learn a lot from a photograph. This workshop will lead you through the process of using the Advanced Camera Tools extension to match SketchUp Pro’s virtual camera with a real world photo. This technique is more rigorous than SketchUp’s “Match Photo” function. It requires knowing details about the camera focal length and having known reference points that appear in both the model and photograph. You can use this process to accurately position new geometry in a 3D model, or export 2D views for blending into a photograph.
  • Duration: 3 hours
  • To participate in this workshop, you should bring a laptop with SketchUp Pro and a mouse.
  • This session is related to the presentation P07 | SketchUp: On the Road & In the Courtroom
  • Time: Block J | Tuesday, April 15th, 1:30 to 4:30 PM
  • Room: Push/Pull
