Hi Tig
I am new to SketchUp so still figuring out how things work… I am keen to find out more about these newer possibilities you speak of… does it happen to be Framer from John Brock? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMxEsHaSqTk
I stumbled across this https://forums.sketchup.com/t/best-extension-for-building-a-house/1962/21 the other day while searching the WWW. Looks exciting! If this is not what you were referring to and someone else is working on another extension I am keen to hear about it. I am interested to see what the difference between Framer and Profile Builder is.
