Combining infrared thermography with SketchUp models enhances visualization of building issues like heat loss and moisture. In this tutorial I show you how you can create such models.
To create complex SketchUp geometries or to build solid parts it is often better to use Solid Tools for subtraction, and ensure 3D printability.
I am exploring SketchUp Diffusion’s potential through prompt engineering in this post where I use a single cube to create varied scenes.
In this video I show how you can use Ruby coding in SketchUp to have some fun: Create 3D geometry, draw with code, bend the software to your will!
Every once in a while it’s very useful to be able to precisely control the view in SketchUp. One of those cases is when you are creating a turntable animation video of an object (like the one shown above). The snippet below allows you to set that up by creating pages with defined view parameters.
Just like everyone else these days I have been trying out OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing (which now also uses the same AI – artificial intelligence – engine). One of my lines of exploration (beyond “what does this thing know about me?”) was the question whether it can auto-generate SketchUp Ruby code with AI. And […]
