However, SketchUp is much better than Civil 3D for conceptual grading. Question: How does SketchUp stack up to Civil 3D? (52:25)Īnswer: Civil 3D is a superior program for creating grading. Also, check Daniel’s website for more information on grading with SketchUp. Question: What about grading plugins? (50:50)Īnswer: Daniel covered several of these in his SketchUp Intro to Site Grading webinar.Īlso: Daniel plans to present a Digital Elevation Modeling webinar in the future. (This tool combines several functions to create a rock wall in SketchUp.) (Creates dashed lines that you can scale as needed.)

For example, some are available from menus, some from right-clicking, etc. Tools can be available from a variety of places. Note: Always read the instructions for each tool. (This tool is similar to the SketchUp tool Cycle Previous Selection, in that it allows you to select multiple objects from memory.) When you select several objects using Repeat Copy, the tool places and rotates them randomly.

(This tool is a useful option for selecting, scaling, moving, copying, and placing objects.) Hiding the edges on an object using Select Only edges (38:45) (This tool allows you to select edges, faces, groups, components, etc.) Using Select Outer Edges to highlight only the outer edges of the object (28:26)Ĭopying the object, selecting Edit>Paste in Place, and making it into a group (28:45)ĭraping linework onto an aerial using the Sandbox tools (29:13)Īnother highly recommended draping tool: SuperDrape (30:45) Triple-clicking to select all linework in an object (28:20) Select Outer Edges (Chris Fullmer / CLF) (28:20) Note: Daniel recommends trying tools created by the following top SketchUp developers (27:08): (24:50)Ĭleaning up all the geometry in a Revit model using the Cleanup3 tool (25:15) One issue with Revit: Revit models come with a number of faces, which can be distracting and hard to work with. Scaling down a section of road using the Fredoscale Tapering tool (24:05)ĭealing with Models Originating from Revit (24:44) This will allow you to grab the scaling points more easily. The issue with the SkethUp Scale tool: it’s difficult to grab “pins” or “grips” to scale an object. (21:55)Īdjusting the width of an object to fit with another object (22:45) Scaling using Fredoscale – note that Fredoscale offers several extra scaling options, allowing you to scale objects more effectively. Traditional SketchUp Scale tool – distorts building (21:40) Note that the contours are smoother and easier to work with.

(19:50)Ĭreating the same contours with Soap Skin & Bubble. The issue with the Sandbox tools: the contours they create are extremely angular and often require cleanup. Putting in vegetation/tree sections using Path Copy (17:05)Īdjusting the heights of the trees randomly using CLF Scale and Rotate Multiple (17:55)Ĭreating contours on the landscape using Contours (18:09)ġ8:50 – end: More Examples of SketchUp ExtensionsĮxample of creating contours using Soap Skin & Bubble (18:50) Hiding all edges using Selection Toys (16:55)

Profile Builder Free / Profile Builder Pro (12:35)Ĭreating an object along a path (example: line/arc) using Profile Builder (works like the SketchUp tool FollowMe, but is more consistent) (12:50)ġ2:34 – 18:49: Using Several Extensions TogetherĬreating a road profile and adding colors using Profile Builder (12:40)Ĭreating contours beside the road using Soap Skin & Bubble (15:50) Using Soapskin Bubble to create meshes and “inflate” or “deflate” the surface to form a convex or concave contour (12:00) Soap Skin & Bubble (Daniel’s favorite extension) (11:46) PathCopy (formerly called Copy Along Path) (10:50)Ĭopying objects along a path/line/arc using PathCopy (10:50) Note: You can create shortcuts to your extensions to access them quickly. Using the Weld extension to connect separate objects (example: arcs) (10:00)Īccessing the Weld tool and joining the arcs (10:20)

In fact, he doesn’t simply use one extension at a time to complete one discrete task instead, he strings together several extensions at a time to complete a series of tasks. Why Daniel Uses Extensions: They’re an essential part of his workflow. Searching for and downloading the Land F/X plugin (8:36)’’
