Good model but why don't you show the working drawing floor plans and elevations. Or look at the framing plan. ie. how it would work for an Architect. Thanks
@PlusSpecАй бұрын
The video shows one aspect of what one architect has created with PlusArchitect; the model generates the 2D plans, yet I suspect the model was utilised to walk the client through the home before generating the 2D plans. I could see if Andrew can create a video on this model showing how to generate the plans if you like?

That would be good. It would be nice to see what sort of working drawings can be generated from a model.

Is there a similar video for creating passive house double stud walls. I'm trying to create my walls with two sets of framed 2x4 walls which form a 5" wall cavity which will contain dense packed cellulose insulation, to create a thermal break. I see for "Wall Type" there is a "Double Internal" selection, but I see no selection for making double exterior walls. Thanks.
@PlusSpec3 ай бұрын
You can add battens to just about every wall type, which is typically the way i eliminate conductivity through the slab/floor. Could you add a post on the forum with a screenshot of what you're trying to do? Click the forum button at the top of the wall tool to get you to the right spot, or here's the link forum.plusspec.com/
@shredpow3 ай бұрын
@@PlusSpec Thanks for the reply! Yes, I will make a forum post with an explanation and screenshot.
@andrewdwight6506Ай бұрын
Best practice for creating a secondary stud without to and bottle plates is to tick bridle battens and create a batten material that's on edge. Eg. A 2x4 material can be made as 4x2 . This way the batten doesn't sit flat on the wall. I'd recommend using the lightweight multiskin wall inside the PlusSpec wall tool.

@PlusSpec4 ай бұрын
Yes, the design is incredible, and the materials and textures are second to none. These guys are setting the bar in residential architecture. I'll do a tutorial on how to add 3D cladding from PlusSpec-created geometry when I get a moment. The key is to remember you're inside Sketchup so you can add as much geometry and resolution as your computer can handle and fee proposal allows... The benefit of the recent performance upgrades to SketchUp 2024 is that you can add more detail to your 3D model.

It's also a good idea to geo-locate your model by using the functionality in the scene tool. Customers like to see the street and the terrain, but for you, as a builder, it helps with existing versus new estimating. I look forward to seeing more of your design and construction work. 👍

I've been using sketchup for the past 18 years purely for conceptualization. The past 2 months was scheduled for our transition to BIM. And now I see this. We need to reconsider our options. This is BIM.

This is BIM on steroids; we call it Virtual Construction as it is ten steps further forward than "Traditional BIM". Revit and ArchiCad cannot do what PlusDesignBUild or PlusArchitect do, and if you are already a Sketchup user you'll hit the ground runing

Great clip Andrew Can you share some tips or a video on how you draw the shade sails ?
@PlusSpec6 ай бұрын
Hi Dave, in this case, it is super easy. I used the post/column tool in Plusspec and added a guideline to the roof. Draw a triangle in Sketchup from the post to the guideline, make it a group, and use the arc tool on each edge of the triangle to offset the straight lines then delete the straight lines. I then applied material and used the "BIM tool" to associate tags and pricing information. I used recipes, cost codes and suppliers for the BOQ, takeoff, purchase orders and ancillary items. It took 2 minutes. You may want to play with the post heights to get your preferred look or shading. In this case, you will need to redraw the triangles as it will be quicker and easier than editing the original geometry. I hope that helps.

We considered adding the top hat section; however all we found was we added extra geometry that had little to no impact on the result. Can I suggest creating a material called "top hat_size" in the steel batten section? You could make it a texture to still look like a top hat.
