5D+ Plus - Flexible Documentation For Architects

This extension is amazing.

@Cyentruk how are you getting views into LayOut? Is there no faster way than copying viewports and selecting scenes one by one?

Yes, I made it one by one.

If you are using Curic Scene Manager, there is an option for you to send multi-scenes into LayOut once.

New toy: “Classify Elements”
This is an upgrade version from an existing tool named “Nested Group” and will be available in the upcoming version. :heart_eyes:

This new toy uses Overlay, a feature only available from SketchUp 2023. It’s always show in your screen and helps you classify elements to your tags system but seems not care too much about tag. :grinning:

That seems like a great classification method.

Will that classification system:

  • Change the position of elements in the model to comply with IFC Manager standar export function? (That is something that you were doing in the context menu.)
  • Will it assign objects to the right tags using the IFC Tag to Classification table?
  • If the objects already have Tags, will they show up as classified once you use this classifier?

I will be a tester as well, unless the window for this has closed. Still getting a hang of all the features…

Regards

I’ll test…

It would be great if it was possible to leverage the “create 2D drawing” function, in order to create a set of back view dashed edges, for plans, from the corresponding ceiling views.

5D+ would:

  • Generate the reflected ceiling view;
  • Insert it in the floor plan scene, below curic section (or regular sketchup section)
  • Erase all faces and convert all edges into a dashed edge tag

This way we could generate something like the standard dashed lines that are dividing rooms or defining the porch ceiling here:

Hello testers,

You may receive a message to notice about this when opening the extension.

This version added new feature to classify elements and is required SketchUp 2023 or above. Please refer to release notes for more details.

Thank you.

@Cyentruk, I already found the older version. But the Display Label is still glitching and the Dim. Endpoints disappeared

Why are you using testing versions if you cannot afford something to break or not work?
It’s the same as upgrading to a new SketchUp version in the middle of a time sensitive project…

I have the official version, but I couldn’t remember where I could find it. Moreover, I am connected with the author through FB, Google Chat, here; he answers quite quickly. And last but not least, I installed the testing versions to contribute to improving the extension. I think I am doing a good thing, even if you consider vice versa.

I’m not saying it’s a bad thing to help with testing. I was just wondering why someone would use testing/beta versions when on a timelimit. Doesn’t seem sensible to me.

When I am working to a deadline, I’m not going to try out a new tecnique with a new tool I have never used before.

I think the discussion has gone off-topic. But thank you so much for your concern

From the new version, as @JQL had requested, I have removed Endpoints option from Auto Grid and Auto Level. Now the dimension when creating will follow dimension 's settings in Model Info.
