I’m using this extension (Sketch-Int by Mario Chabot (@mariocha / @mario_chabo) and I love it. It creates detailed doors & windows, can cut openings, etc. Very convenient and saves a ton of time & nerves.
However, like almost everything in the Sketchup ecosystem, it’s not perfect.
So first off, if anyone can recommend another extension specifically to create a variety of doors & windows (and be able to modify them after creation), that would be awesome.
Second, I would like to make the following suggestions / bug reports to Mr. Chabot.
1.) It would be an amazing addition to add an “Inner Frame” and “Outer Frame” material option, because there are many situations where windows will have, for example, a black frame outside, and a white / unfinished frame inside (to be painted to match the room).
Right now, I have to click into each component & change the colors manually. Thankfully you have the various parts grouped “by layers”, so it’s relatively easy. But it still gets to be time-consuming on larger projects.
Also, since during the design process we generally don’t have the colors figured out at the same time as the building structure, maybe there could be an option to show “placeholder” versus “decided” colors, or highlight the windows / doors where colors have not been chosen yet?
2.) [FEATURE REQUEST]It would also be cool AF to have a button on the toolbar that would generate a report of all the doors & windows in the document.
3.) There is an occasional misalignment of the outer frame panels, it happens rarely but still often enough to mention it. Usually on the larger items.
3.)
