![]() You can select one or more surfaces you would like to offset and then choose one of the three options. 2.Multiple OffsetsĪre you familiar with AutoCAD’s offset? That does the same job but in 3D. You may need to download the Free Library extension by the same developer before that. You can check out the user manual provided by the developer for more details. This is a plugin that provides various options for the extrusion of surfaces, one of which is extruding multiple surfaces in parallel. When you restart SketchUp, the shortcut toolbar or icon of the installed extension will appear.Now, the extension will appear in your list of extensions.Third, choose the extension file with the ‘rbz’ extension from the download folder.Second, click on “Install Extensions” at the bottom left of the Extension Manager Window.Or, you can open “Extension Manager” from the “Window” drop menu.First, click on “Extension Manager” the red gem icon on the far right of the toolbar.We will tell you first, though, how to install a plugin on the latest version of SketchUp. Moreover, they can help you with developing some really creative designs, and they are all available for free. Here, we will give you a list of handy SketchUp plugins that will get things done better and faster. Insert your data, and the plugins will do their magic in a blink of an eye. Doing basic repetitive tasks like extruding (push/pull) multiple surfaces or creating offsets and multiple copies will be your job no more. Once you have grasped how they work, you will realize how much time they could save you. Now, using such plugins is essential for faster and better results. These plugins are created by users who noticed the shortcomings of the default tools on Sketchup and decided to solve them. That is when SketchUp plugins or extensions come into the picture. ![]() So, you might consider these simple tips to easily improve your SketchUp skills. However, as work starts to get a bit more complicated, these simple tools might become a hindrance. Its tools and interface are simple and easy to deal with for beginners. Then we’ll use the “Automatically Create Hip Roof” function to generate the roof faces, then finally we’ll use the generate rafter function to finalize our roof.SketchUp is one of the easiest, fastest, and most popular 3D modeling software. To use 1001 bit tools, we’re going to start by generating the footprint of our roof as a face. Once again, Medeek Truss gives you more options for this if you don’t mind paying a few bucks. In this case, what we’re going to do is use 1001 bit tools to generate the rafters along our edges. Now, we can add our upper level framing, then we’ll work on our roof. I will note, you could also use and extension like Medeek Truss from Nathaniel Wilkerson, but that is a paid extension, where 1001 bit is free. Once we’ve developed this for our first floor, we’re going to add rafters with 1001 bit tools. This allows you to quickly and easily generate openings in your framed walls with proper framing. This extension comes with the ability to quickly add door and window openings, as well as move them around within house builder assemblies. Now, you can add openings using the opening creation tools. Once you’ve drawn the outline of your framing, you can come in and add walls along the lines that you’ve outlined. Note that you can adjust all the settings for the framing in the settings section. We’re going to start off by drawing the outline of our house, then we’ll use house builder to generate our framed walls. Housebuilder allows you to generate framed wall assemblies, as well as generating roofs, and probably most importantly, openings in those wall assemblies. ![]() It has a great rafter framing tool that we’re going to use. The second is 1001 Bit tools, which I’ve talked about a bit in the past. The first is called house builder – it’s an extension from TIG that as far as I know, can only be downloaded from a forum post in SketchUcation. In today’s video, we’re going to use a pair of extensions to create a wood framed house model in SketchUp.
