Hello community. I am relatively new to SketchUp. I have been using the software for the past several months. I do have 3D experience with other packages, but the industry I am currently in uses SketchUp primarily. I work in Architecture and have been in production for sometime. I haven’t used …

We use Sketchup for construction estimating and construction detailing, in fact, we build plugins for builders, contractors, roofers, shed builders, plumbers and many more industries. I even designed a motorbike track for short circuit racing in Australia that gets international riders so I can not…

That is very interesting you use SU for piping. I am a long time user of SW for plant design and system piping. If possible I would like to see one of your designs.

Hi Tom, hi folks. Here are four pictures of simple projects all created in real size to ascertain the feasibility of design. On the first one you can see a part of the AutoCAD drawing that served as a reference and that I imported in SU. All the rest of this model as well as all the other 3 models…

I’m an Applications Engineer and use SketchUp to produce detailed models of automated assembly machines and robotic assembly systems. It’s so much faster than Inventor or Solid Works. I can knock up a £1.5M assembly system in a couple of days.

Jean, impressive. Do you get a full BOM from your spools? Tom

In the Gallery section is a member that will give you great inspiration in what SketchUp can do. If you understand it. Here is the link to his work and rendered items. He also has 3 items in the 3D Warehouse to play with. Search : blueblankey from All Categories This is Gallery link: BlueBlankey’s…

@SKETCHedTSR You Should check out the “3 Skeng” Plugin I usually google it, I am not sure if it is on the warehouse but that plugin is the best MEP plugin going IMHO

[image] jean_lemire_1: I was not mandated to do that but I decided to do it anyway just to prove that SU is a valid tool. It is a shame so many miss the real power, great job Jean.

If you’d be so kind I would also love to see an example of this too. If you’d be available of course.

Do other industries use SketchUp other than Architecture and Interiors. Like say Media?
