5D+ Plus - Flexible Documentation For Architects

Hi @armin

To show the level grids that defined in Building Info, you should use button Level Grid.

The level label from Labels is used to create this symbol and it is required to select an object or a horizontal face first.

Just ignore the notice from Curic Section.

Ok I will ignore the curic section notice.

Re: the level grids: I am using the button you indicate but nothing appears.

2 other issues:

1)I see you on version 2.1.0; I am on 2.0.9; when I click on check for update it says I am on the latest version
2)if I go into a separate window or application the 5D+ dialog disappears; same with scene manager and I need to reopen them

It is the beta version, you can scroll up to see the news, or follow my FB page to update the latest news: (2) Facebook

I can’t get this, can you record a video of your screen?

The most flexible version is preparing to launch.

Counting the hours!

PS: How many hours?

Maximum 48 hours :vampire:

Hey, i can’t wait for the release, this is really great and i’m using it day by day, the last version is quite buggy and slow when batch updating. Tthe 5D+ extension is crashing often and i have to open the model again and redo my edit…
In the comment of your last video, you mentionned using XREF and different combination to have different models updating. This looks very interesting in order to have complex model not too slow.
Could you elaborate on this workflow ?

I am currently doing a 25 bedroom hotel and am delighted to be using 5D+ to help me but it is still very slow to update and create scenes. The problem is not on my comp specs.

Hope it’s the right place to ask. Keep up the good work !!!

Hey @galipond - there is a group of people that is exploring exactly these type of workflows. @Cyentruk is part of that group and many of us are using 5D+ as tools. If you want to I can invite you to the BIM group. Which reminds me - I need to set up the next meetings… :slight_smile: I can in all honesty tell you: The 5D+ tools are a game changer. It took me a year to transition our company to it but it’s so worth it.

Definetely please i would be delighted to learn more

Here is the Release Notes

You rock!!

I have an issue, whenever i try to delete a view, the software crashes. It seems like i can create but not delete any of the scene, anyone else have this issue ?

Hi,

Does this issue happen with any files and what version of SketchUp you are using?

Can you try to isolate 5D+ Plus with other extension to track any conflicts between them?

@cyentruk: What version of sketchup do you recommend that we use for this?

I have an issue where my sketchup crashes average 2-3 times every time I open a sketchup file. It’s always a curic related extension (typical Curic Section) that the log file ends on when there is a crash. Curic’s extensions all claim to support up to 2024 and Gemini troubleshooting thinks it has something to do with the ruby encoder that he uses.

Should we just roll back to 2024?

Yes, you were right; the crashing is related to some of Curic’s extensions, which use RgbLoader. I found some of them that have names such as “++”.

RgbLoader conflicts with SketchUp 2025 and above, but I recommend SketchUp 2026 because if we don’t install the conflicting extensions, we won’t have any more crashes.

5D+ Plus v2.1.2 is released.


This opens up so many possibilities for us! I know it’s just a “small” adjustment but this Selector tool in 5D+ Plus carries a punch not to be underestimated! Great Point release!

Demo of 5D+ Dimensions.

Looks awesome! Just don’t forget the joint settings folder setting with all these new features coming in! :slight_smile:
