Hey all,I’ve recently gotten into Sketchup for a home design project and noticed there are pretty limited options for stick framing. I’ve only come across Medeek & Framer so far, and I ran into the limits of Framer quickly so I’ve been using Medeek. Medeeks toolset is pretty impressive, but when things start to get more complex (especially with roofs) it starts to fall apart, leaving a lot of tedious, manual work that could be automated. Not to mention all the times it’ll randomly place a stud in a totally wrong and weird spot, or the dozen+ times its crashed on me so far.
As well as being a builder, I also happen to be a somewhat experienced programmer, so making my own plugin is within the realm of possibility, but it would be a timesink.
So to conclude, some questions:
- Are there any solid options for framing plugins that I’ve missed?
- If I were to put the time into making a new plugin, is there a viable/worthwhile market for it that would be willing to pay, say, $100 for a license?
- Continuing the above question, at a certain point in complexity, do people even use SketchUp anymore, rather than a more advanced software like Revit?
