[Plugin] 1001bit Tools - Architectural tools for SketchUp

[thomthom]

Do shapes like that with a scale factor of 1.618 and can do some nice simulations of snail shells etc and other organic creations.

[Pilou]

And you can of course make some thickness with the Joint Push Pull of Fredo 6

Thanks again Goh, for this awesome toolset

I've tried this toolset and after 10m i removed it. With 29$ you have a collection of plugins that you can get for free (and in many cases they work better) like align, Kt tools, trim and extend, fillet, roof, windowizer ecc. plus a duplicate of native SU commands like array, offset ecc. Maybe i missed something...

[Pilou]

you miss revolve, extrusion along a path,...etc and all pre-build parametrics elements
+ images help inside

[thomthom]

Plus it's neatly packaged with a uniform UI and continuously maintained.

[massimo]

Ok, thanks. I'll give it another try.

[GOHCH]

1001 bit is definately a big time saver when modeling. I have done some great animations and client think they took me weeks where they only realy took hours. The rafters, battens and hips are fantastic

[GOHCH]

Thanks aadbuild for your support!
Have been a bit tight on time working on a shadow analysis tool (in collaboration with Takeshi)
see http://www.1001shadows.com
Hope to get back to 1001bit tools by next month.
cheers!
Goh

I've downloaded the 1001bit tools and also downloaded the help file from their forum. When I open it, it appears to open in a reader application. The table of contents appears on the left pane but regardless of what I click in the left pane, nothing but invalid address message appears in the reading pane.....

any suggestions?

Thanks for any help,

Jim

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

1001bit version 1.1.7 update is now ready for download!
http://www.1001bit.com/v1.1/download_registration_v1.1.shtml

3 new tools are added into this update:

Rectangular grille tools: convert edges into rectangular sections.



Circular grille tools: convert edges into circular sections.



both the grille tools only create grilles on a common plane defined by the first 3 points it finds from the selection.
any edges that are not on the plane will be projected onto the plane.

Extrude while maintaining tapering effect.


Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas, and all the best in the coming year!

Thanks Goh for the update! this whole toolset seems to be very useful not only for architects actually!
I have also "updated" The Daily CatchUp.

Also, if you don't mind, I have renamed the subject of the topic to
[Plugin] 1001bit Tools - Architectural tools for SketchUp
and moved it into our new Plugins forum. This seems to be more straightforward for this topic as it is a discussion between developer and users rather than about ruby methods (or what) between developers.
