![]() ![]() I now no longer build homes, all I do is continue to work on further development in PlusSpec. It does have tutorials built in to every tool so you do not have waste more time searching for how to videos. I am happy to organise a private or public webinar if you want to learn more. PlusSpec does exactly what you guys need, if time is as important to you as it is to me. It has a scene creator tool which in 1 click will create all of your plans and elevations for Layout (huge time saver!) We needed a solution so I built it. I know it sounds unbelievable but PlusSpec will actually do structure at the same time as drawing walls, all of the steel and structure is parametric so you can send it to the engineer and he or she can simply select the right size to suit their calculations and also comment or tag issues that may clash with the design intent. ![]() It will blow your mind!Īs for the MEP drawings that Cad110 is doing ( great work BTW) I would recommend the MEP Plugin for Sketchup or Skeng (brilliant). This is why I developed PlusSpec, it is for professionals, if you only draw one or 2 things a year PlusSpec is too expensive, yet if you grind away everyday doing detailed drawings then Plusspec is the answer. The comprehensive models you all show here are great and these are examples of what industry needs to build from but at what cost to the designer? I can imagine how long it takes to edit them and I know how long it would take to draw them in the traditional Sketchup manor. 8+ years ago I employed developers in my office to come up with a comprehensive plugin that allowed me to organise my models in a way that allowed me to add in more geometry and information, modify at any time and specify real products. I spent most of my time organising models when the real requirement was to communicate design intent via a 3D model that could be used to build with. I also needed auto IFC attribution which now happens according to what you are drawing. I needed all of the geometry and all of the information to make BIM and VDC feasible to create. No doubt you guys are aware of PlusSpec? I built it, as I run a design and construction company in Australia, large models really started to slow us down. This is an insane amount of work just to get a job done, really it is just a work around for slow bloated models in Revit, it is not for me. Many talk about LOD yet I do believe it is counter productive as it leaves more room for error… I can not remember, Did I swap out all of my my LOD 200 for 350? Once I added the larger files I now need to segregate my model as it is too cumbersome to work with. The only way to have a large model is to have it optimised via a Sketchup ninja user or via a plugin like PlusSpec. It does not matter if you are using Revit, Archicad or Sketchup the truth is that large models will always be slower. It can be a bit of a conundrum as the more information and geometry you add, the slower the model will react. The start of the question was large scale models. ![]()
