If you are interested in going from this…
…to this…
…in a single click, then we should talk
To give some more information: I really love PowerBI. I believe it is a wonderful, fairly intuitive tool to give insight in your data. But, what I really miss is a way to show spatial relations between business objects. For example, if you have data about rooms in a building (temperature, co2 levels, humidity, …) or data about products that are located somewhere (in a warehouse f.e.) I would really want to see that spatial context. I want to see where which room is located in the building.
On the other hand, we have SketchUp, which is like the most intuitive tool in creating 3d objects and thus also in creating this spatial context. But, what SketchUp really lacks is usage of data. I mean, extensions are needed to even add attributes to objects (except for those 6 or 7 ones in entity info)…
I decided to combine both. I decided to create an extension that allows me to generate 3d microsoft powerbi visuals directly from SketchUp.
Is it ready? Absolutely not. Are the demo’s over here real? absolutely yes. Do these models come from Sketchup, yes again. With a single press of a button? … Not there yet.
However: I am looking for people that see the potential in having such a solution and are willing to get in touch. I am dedicated in getting this out when it is finished.
