Instant wall tool

By Building Designer on April 24, 2011 - 5:01am

Hi Chuck,

I previously purchased the instant roof and instant site grader plugins from your site. I am also looking for a script that will convert my lines into a specified wall type.

I have been imagining that there should be wall components that a designer would be able to specifiy within Sketchup. A plugin that will allow me to convert my selected lines into specified walls that would consist of- for example- a timber frame wall with lining on both sides.

Downloading video tutorial

By Nicolas PIETTE on January 26, 2011 - 3:48am

Hi,

I've just downloaded the pro version of instant roof and I save it on my computer in a folder where I'd like to put all the tutorial.
It's easy to download the pdf files but what about the video ? How can I download those files ?

Thanks for your work and for the future answer of my question

Nico

Are you experiencing problems downloading Instant Roof? Instant Roof is a larger file than Instant Road and Site Grader and some people are finding that Internet Explorer is not downloading the whole Roof Script file (should be 448 to 449kb). All other browsers - chrome, firefox, safari, etc.. are all seem to be downloading  fine.

Instant plugins and SU version ?

By Didier Bur on November 5, 2010 - 3:44am

Hi Chuck,

Are your plugins for SU8 only ? I got this message when loading the free version of InstantGrader in SU7 Pro:

Any hint?

Is there a way of setting to metric?

Question Received --- Is there a way of setting to metric. Here in the UK we draw in millimeters and meters. Also roof slopes are in degrees from horizontal.

Translations

We have already had requests for translations in Spanish and Russian. I realize my scripts have many options and settings, making them difficult to use for non-English speaking SketchUp user. I am looking into doing translations for my tutorials and plugins and will post my progress here.

Please place translation requests here....
