Sketchup 2023 replace is a giant disappointment – SketchUp

I believe there are methods round this. One factor I do which makes issues so much less complicated, is I make particulars to seek advice from on my constructing part views and I don’t hatch constructing sections, I believe that’s primarily meaningless as there should be building particulars in a drawing set anyhow. The most effective instance I can present of that is right here. http://photos1.blogger.com/img/m-69575e3ae594aa795db8dc193a9d428a54796934.jpg I don’t know why any architect wouldn’t love what’s in that hyperlink. For my part, I’ve by no means touched attempting to mess with hatching constructing sections since, I believe it’s pointless. On the finish of the day, the builder wants the main points and as it’s anyhow, a constructing part is a big view of the constructing, it’s not meant to have a ton of element, for me, that is what particulars are for.

As for sections, I by no means part horizontally, I solely do vertical sections, no plan view sections. If I need to see inside on a flooring plan, I easy take off the roof or the ground above and I can see no matter I would like, this manner nothing is being minimize, nothing must be dashed to indicate what’s hidden from the horizontal plan view part, and so on. It’s all proper there. Window and door symbols merely hover above. My mannequin is organized extraordinarily cleanly and easily. As for isolating sections of rooms and so on, this may be performed fairly simply I imagine as properly, although I’d have to consider it a bit. Easy grouping and putting on a tag involves thoughts. As soon as the tagging construction is actually thought out for all eventualities and cleverly cleaned up and stored so simple as potential, the packages are extremely highly effective. I do know you realize so much about this, I’m simply making some feedback to these stuff you introduced up, these have by no means been a ache for me with my workflow.

Maybe a extra in depth dialogue sooner or later. Feedback like this are good issues to speak about.

I haven’t been on this discussion board in months, 6 months or extra? Possibly twice since then? Isn’t it humorous how one other 12 months of poor improvement brings me proper again right here complaining. Some issues and a few individuals (me) by no means change…

I don’t insert DWGs typically – primarily once I must create a location and website plan for planning consent.

I did one simply the opposite day and it was initially moderately complicated.

Simply gone again to the Format file to see what I did and needed to work by the confusion once more ( I must make notes to remind me how I do issues ! )

As I perceive it – the way it labored for me:

1. File > Insert
2. Choose Mannequin House and Import as a SketchUp mannequin reference
3. So, for me, this brings in a clean white viewport !!
4. After tearing some hair out I observed that my viewport Scene was Final saved SketchUp View.
5. I modified Scene to ACTIVE and voilà !
6. I might see the DWG linework.
7. I can change the viewport dimension and scale and I can activate and off the DWG layers within the tags panel.

Solely factor – it’s an embedded reference, if I have been to edit the supply DWG…??

SketchUp solely must take babysteps:

1.) Put the event of the net based mostly and Ipad variations on maintain or not less than decrease sources headed that approach.

2.) Spend a while engaged on Format points and enhancing the efficiency of the product and most significantly give us an actual time API for Format. The plugin builders like myself can do the remaining.

Personally I don’t assume there may be an excessive amount of unsuitable or lacking with SketchUp itself, my downside is de facto solely with Format and its lack of an API.

Sure, SketchUp has at all times been good for conceptual modeling however there is no such thing as a motive why it could’t even be good for building paperwork. I don’t settle for the argument that SketchUp can’t be used for building doc era.

I don’t agree. All objects is organized, they are often automation in all duties. With me in SketchUp, it’s a recreation with tags and outliner. Not solely small projecs but in addition giant and complicated one.

Archicad or Revit use the identical factor, that they had classes to categorise objects and instruments. So with SketchUp, tags and plugins will resolve issues.

Is there any motive to not improve. Any disadvantages with 2023 and I shouldn’t improve?

Please SketchUp crew, let open reatime LayOut API and depart the remaining for builders. I be guarantee developer neighborhood can break bottle neck right here.

P/s: Overlay characteristic in 2023 may very well be a recreation changer this 12 months, simply wait and see.

I scanned by this and, as a GC utilizing su professional 2018, I can say a lot of the architects I cope with use autocad. Doing second particulars in SU is lame as a result of it’s edge based mostly, not line based mostly. These days I’ve been ping ponging forwards and backwards between paint.web and SU, drawing in a single fixing the drawing within the different, forwards and backwards so I can dump it in LO. It’s about the one technique to edit the pixels that may’t be addressed in SU or LO
