eDrawings Publisher

The publisher is an add-on to SketchUp that allows designers to export their models to eDrawings format. eDrawings is a well accepted solution among MCAD professionals who need to share their designs among teams.The professional version enables users to Create markups, Measure the model, Create Cross-section, Password Protect eDrawings file, Move components and Insert Stamps.The tool allows you to generate an accurate representation of your SketchUp models that can be viewed (only) using the eDrawings viewer.

eDrawings models can be packed into an executable containing the viewer as well as the design data so that the recipients do not need to install or purchase any software to view the model.

• Create compact & read-only eDrawings files from SketchUp models
• Insert stamps & password protect your files
• Save as EXE with viewer and design data, so that recipients do not need to install or purchase any software
• Recipients can create comments & markups, measure & cross-section the model & move components

The add-on was created by Geometric Limited. Visit eDrawings Publisher to learn more and get the plugin.

IES VE SketchUp plugin

The Integrated Environmental Solutions VE SketchUp plugin allows you to assign important information like location, building type, room type, construction types and HVAC systems to a SketchUp model and then import it directly into an IES tool for analysis, without having to re-build any geometry.

Key features:
1.Export groups and components from Google SketchUp™
2.New Toolbar icons
3.Color code rooms on 3D model to visualize results and input data
4.Ability to view weather data as wind rose
5.Unique ability to view MacroFlo bulk airflow on 3D model as arrows
6.Unique ability to view MacroFlo bulk airflow on 3D model as arrows

IES have come up with a plug-in for SketchUp that allows you to run an energy analysis right within your SketchUp model. And the plug-in is completely free! Join Mike in this first part of a 2-part series as he shows you how to run an energy analysis on a massing model using the IES plug-in for SketchUp.

Google SketchUp Goes Green!

There is great potential for free software like Google SketchUp to play a role in the development of future small and large scale alternative energy technologies. Google SketchUp is free software that can be used to create complex 3-D models. The software interface is simple and easy to use. The possibilities are limitless! Anyone can now create a 3-D version of their idea or concept! The models can then be imported into programs likeGoogle Earth. More specifically, SketchUp is the perfect software to help us in our quest to develop new energy technologies.

Google SketchUp 'plug-in' offers energy analysis - Green

An updated software tool combines energy-use evaluation with Google's 3D-modeling program to help improve building design in its early stages.

OpenStudio, a free, open-source tool introduced last year, now integrates EnergyPlus building analysis withGoogle SketchUp, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory announced this week.

"OpenStudio is lauded around our office as one of the most complicated plug-ins ever written for SketchUp," Christopher Cronin, Google's strategist for SketchUp, said in a statement.

While Google may see OpenStudio as a plug-in for SketchUp, OpenStudio's creators may instead see SketchUp as an add-on to its simulation program.

Even if you're experienced with using a computer, learning a new software program presents two problems. The first is learning how to get around the program; the second is learning how to make the program do what you want it to do. We're excited about what SketchUp can do to make woodworking easier and better, and I've been working on developing methods to help folks learn it. I've come to realize that instead of starting at the beginning by making simple models, you can dramatically shorten the learning curve by starting at the end.
