You can enable several options available on the free standard version, or go pro for more. Also, you can extend it via plugins.
Below, two plugins I have found very useful, and also available for free. But you can still play around with tensile structures on this plugin.
The second plugin was developed by Integrated Enviromental Solutions, which lets you assign important sustainable design information like location, building and room type, construction types and HVAC systems to your Sketchup model.
From there you can do energy, carbon, daylight and solar analysis, or take this model with all this info to your favourite BIM software. Complete video tutorial on YouTube. SketchUp is useful from the earliest stages of design to the end of construction.
Programming, diagramming, design development, detailing, documentation, RFIs—wherever you need drawings, you need SketchUp Pro. The joy of drawing by hand. The ease of super-smart software.
Make sustainable buildings. Change the world. Hundreds of professionally-developed extensions at your fingertips. Design in 3D. Document in 2D. Make work easier. Whoever asked for complicated CAD software?
SketchUp is hands-down the most intuitive and easy-to-learn 3D drawing tool around. We designed SketchUp to behave like an extension of your hand, so you can draw whatever you want, however you want. SketchUp is accurate to a thousandth of an inch, so you can design, specify, and plan with as much or little detail as you need.
Draw plans, elevations, details, title blocks and a lot more with LayOut. When your model changes, so does your document. Use SketchUp Pro to turn your models into animated walkthroughs and flyovers that explain every detail.
An automobile for your driveway? A rhino for your zoo? Eventually, some 3D models grow up to become professional 2D drawing sets. And because everything you draw is vector smart, scaling and rotating can be done with utmost precision.
Use dimensioning tools that snap to the edges of SketchUp models and quickly set the format, scale, and precision of displayed measurements. Customize callouts via controls for line weight, arrow and stroke style, curved leader lines, font formatting, line spacing… You get the picture, and so will everyone else.
New in This is a multi-package portable. See list You have to download the main package. If you want one or both of the additional plugins packages, download them and put the. At next startup, the portable will recognize the new plugins! I have a question. How can I use a file.
