I have now included my plugins for SketchUp on my website. I refer to my plugins as Instant Scripts -- Instant roof, Instant Wall, Instant Road & Instant Site Grader. A couple more are still in development and will be added soon. While I really enjoyed my cadmonkey days using Autocad and writing lisps on the fly, I have much more fun modeling and writing scripts in SketchUp.
But there is still a place in architecture for 2d. We are 2-dimensional creatures. We move about in a horizontal plane, then relocate to another plane via a stair or elevator. And builders continue to layout buildings in 2d. So for architectural tools, my vote is: SketchUp plus 2d cad.
On the SketchUp Scripts page you will find several plugins. Read - Instant Roof Plugin reviewed by Google (Nov. 2010). For each script there is both a free and a pro version. Please download the free versions and give them a try(sorry no free version of Instant Wall). Plugins are for SketchUp and SketchUp Pro 6, 7 & 8, Mac or PC. I hope you will find them useful.
There are also videos, tutorials and a forum to ask question and share comments for all available scripts:
I bought [instant road pro]
I bought [instant road pro] yesterday night，please tell me when i can download？
thank you
Download Available
Hi sz0571,
Your downloads are available. Plugin downloads are normally available immediately after PayPal processing (10 sec.). Your order was held up by Paypal temporarily - I am not sure why, but we have experienced longer processing times for some countries. Sorry for the delay but I am still amazed that paypal works in almost every currency in the world!!
Hope you find the plugin useful and let me know if you have any further problems.
Hi there.. can u please send
Hi there.. can u please send me the process for buying instant wall plugin..
Suggestion
First thanks to bring us such powerful tools for sketchup which makes modeling more easily.
While I strongly suggest adding toolbars for the plugins.It's not so convenient to find and use the command from a long list below the plugin menu...
And it will be good to add an interface for users to enter parameters using webdialog...
Looking forward to the next upgrade!
My suggestions
My suggestions are:
1.-toolbar
2.-option of changing the type and size of the tiles.
3.-option to put a trim around the edge of the slab.
thanks for this fantastic plugin.
Thank you so much.
I stumbled across the site while seeing what plug-ins I can get for SketchUp (it's without a doubt a great architecture program free or Pro), and thought wow, these are plug-ins to create roofs, roads - etc.
Thanks so much for making these, and I hope to purchase one of your plug-ins soon. Bookmarked indeed.
Jay
Thank you so much.
Jay,
Thanks for visiting my site. I hope the scripts turn out to be useful to you. And thank you for considering purchasing one of them - its means a lot and keeps me going here.

Hi, i'm ALMERA Junior "PicAssaut", From HAITI
i'm an Architect Modeler & a 4DDesigner. I verry appreciat the "effort" that you do to genrate those plugins, they verry great for me Congratualation once again man.Now im working on a project who necesit taht i use a FrameCAD strcutur Like (Studs & Truss) but i dont have the best software for that.Then i would like to know if you can script a plugin named like this "Instant FrameCAD" or "Instant Truss" or "Instant Studs" or "Instant Stud&Truss".I tink that it's will be the best plugin for an architect like me or orther in the world who use your Sketchup Plugins.
Regards,
