4. LATTICE MAKER
The plugin allows you to simply set
offsets, glass thickness, window
thickness & materials to smoothly
generate windows in SketchUp
models.
This SketchUp plugin can be applied
to form lattice style arrays and
frames. The plugin is suitable for
generating skylights, sculptures,
mosaic glass tiles, greenhouses and
much more. This plugin provides huge
benefits to the architects and
contractors to simplify their works.
5. TOOLS ON SURFACE
We all know SketchUp’s native
drawing tools: Line, Rectangle, Circle,
2 Point Arc, etc. These tools are
intended to draw on flat faces only.
But they’re not designed to draw on
irregular surfaces, such as curved
faces or terrain.
Tools On Surface (TOS) provides a
similar set of drawings tools, and they
draw on anything.
5. ZORRO TOOL
Zorro2 is an extension specifically
designed for slicing your entire models
into pieces. At its basest functionality,
you can simply click two points, and
Zorro 2 will slice your object along the
line you’ve drawn, allowing you to
slice straight through your model. Any
geometry visible between your two
points that isn’t in a group will be cut.
In addition to being able to slice raw
geometry, you can also hold the
Control Key to cut through nested
groups and components.
