Huynh Duong Phuong has developed s4u Stair. It is a newest sketchup extension that is used to create stair, ramp from faces. The plugin is compatible with SketchUp 2016, SketchUp 2017, SketchUp 2018, SketchUp 2019.

Select the plugin and all of your lines will be on one plane! Another alternative to using the Joint Push Pull plugin to create curved edges is Artisan. Once you have the plugin installed, select the cube icon in the menu that says “subdivide and smooth.” This will take any hard edges and turn them into a smooth surface. SketchUp Plugin and Extension Store by SketchUcation provides free downloads of hundreds of SketchUp extensions and plugins. Sketchup is the most popular 3D modeling software that is being used by eminent artists, interior designers, architects, engineers, educationists, people involved in light construction, especially in films and on stage. UPDATE: Works with SketchUp 8. The Make Faces plugin created by Todd Burch with Smustard.com is a good tool to make imports from AutoCAD easier to work with. As you recall from our post about the AutoCAD import plugin we suggested that you use the import as a guide and put it on its own layer and then trace it. If you are using Google Chrome, by default the file will be automatically saved to your Downloads folder.

The following concerns plugins written in Ruby (the programming language included with SketchUp’s free and Pro versions). It is a basic template to get you started. Also note that SketchUp has a C++ SDK (in case you intend to work with it from other software).

Although you can use any text editor to create a plugin, it might be a good idea to install my Ruby Code Editor plugin into SketchUp first. This allows you to experiment with Ruby scripting. You can then afterwards package your code in a plugin using the instructions below.

RBZ Plugin File Structure

The RBZ file format was introduced in Maintenance Release 2 of Version 8. Packaging a plugin this way allows a user to easily install it from SketchUp’s Preferences dialog.

To enable use of the RBZ-installer functionality, all files that make up a plugin must be packaged in one single compressed file (note that the RBZ file is simply a re-named ZIP file).

As a reference: SketchUp’s default Plugin installation folder can be found here (replace version number with current major version):

Windows: C:Program FilesGoogleGoogle SketchUp 8Plugins
Mac: /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/

Plugin Template

It is a good idea to a) use SketchUp’s extension system and b) wrap your plugin in a Ruby Module. Below is some sample code to get you started. Replace “my” with your initials to keep things clean.

Contents of /my_plugin_loader.rb (in main directory)

Contents of /my_plugin/my_plugin.rb (in subfolder)

Please note: If you prefer to not have your plugin’s source code visible, then you can use SketchUp’s Scrambler to encrypt Ruby files.
