Skalp has been designed and built as an easy to use yet powerful Live Section Tool. It represents the key missing features needed to realize a long standing dream: Create your stunning plans and elevations inside SketchUp.

The Skalp development Team has its roots in architecture and 3D software, but that doesn't mean Skalp is for architects or Pro users only. SketchUp is being used in so many disciplines nowadays. Which is why we intended Skalp to be as 'generic' as possible. This means we do not want to change or disrupt your specific workflow.

"We feel Skalp should just try to respect whatever and however you're doing in SketchUp and simply boost your ability to create superb drawings."

The results are beautiful,

The results are beautiful, but this plug-in function, slows sketchup and the PC until they lock for minutes. It is really unbearable.

Antonio,

On big models please turn off the live updating and use the manual update button. You can find this this option in the Skalp menu of the Skalp dialogbox.

Kind regards,

The Skalp Team

Also with live updating

Also with live updating turned off, define pattern by layer function remains slow, so slow as to block sketchup, and sometimes to send crash. I have a complex model, but I can not conceive an extension only for a model irrelevant, right?

Antonio,

Please contact support (support@skalp4sketchup.com) if you have troubles with using Skalp instead of using the Extension Warehouse. Please send us the model so we can investigate why the define pattern by layer function remais slow.

Kind regards,

The Skalp Team.

This plugin does what it says

This plugin does what it says, and does it well. It is both easy to get started, and has lots of depth to it for advanced users.

Sketchup, Skalp and LayOut is all I need to produce sophisticated construction documents of entire houses, including construction details. Goodbye AutoCAD & Vectorworks (good riddance, really).

You can see examples of how I use this plugin here: https://blog.sketchup.com/article/tom-kaneko-design-architecture-sketch-...

Thanks Tom!

Purchased the plugin but it

Purchased the plugin but it doesn't seem to be working correctly in conjunction with LSS arch plugin, the openings i.e doors and windows are not recognized and the section tool just gives them a wall cut. Could you please look into this issue?

Martin,

Please send a model made with LSS arch plugin to support@skalp4sketchup.com so we can see why it isn't working.

Kind regards,

The Skalp Team

Thank you for you response,

Thank you for you response,
I have forwarded a link to a model generated using Lss Arch to the support address. On a different note, could you give me tentative dates on which you think skalp 1.5 might be ready for release?

Martin,

I discovered that the opening of your walls are in a separate context. Skalp doesn't work this way. In essence, Skalp searches and selects particular sets of faces from the model, intersects them with the section plane and looks for 'closed loops' in the results to fill. Only closed loops can get filled. Skalp will track and process your model 'context by context'. A 'context' is a Group, a Component or simply the Model itself. So, the process starts by taking your top level context: the model itself. Next, Groups and Components are taken one at a time. The resulting 'fills' will be updated and placed into one managed group in your model. While not necessary, it is good practice to try to create components and groups that are 'manifold', 'solid' objects. These objects will be processed faster and are likely to produce cleaner section results. If a selected object reports a'Volume' in the entity info dialog, this indicates it is a valid solid object. Skalp does track nested objects. That is: groups or components inside other groups or components. So organizing your model in smaller nested groups/components might help getting better section results.

Skalp 1.5 will be released as soon as possible.

The Skalp Team

Exploding and regrouping the

Exploding and regrouping the components seems to be the easiest work around for now.

Why do parts of the section

Why do parts of the section plane disappear after I save the model? it appears to be just a single piece of geometry that does not retain it's section plane, i.e., a specific solid group. Any thoughts from anyone?

Matt,

Please send some screenshots of the problem to support@skalp4sketchup.com so we can take a look what is going wrong.

Kind regards,

Skalp is a must-have plugin

Skalp is a must-have plugin for anyone in construction/ design activities. It automates the process that I talk about in my Con Docs book and I'm delighted that you guys created it!

5 stars!

I install all my plugins in a

I install all my plugins in a public area
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Sketchup

When I install skalp it has load errors.
Skalp requires me to install in plugins area.

All my other plugins work just fine in the public area.
My strategy really simplifies moving from Sketchup version to Sketchup version.
What is important is that all the settings are seamless. I don't have to reinstall everything and configure everything.

Garry,

What do you do to install your plugins in a public area? How do you point SketchUp to look for the plugins in that folder? Skalp uses the Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins") method to find where the plugins are installed.

Kind regards,

Guy

# Play with this - it checks

# Play with this - it checks additional paths

PATH = @plugin.path()
LOADER_SUFFIX = '_loader'
LOADER = File.basename(PATH)
tmp = LOADER.split('_')
RBSFILE = tmp[0] + '_' + tmp[1] + '.rbs'

# RELDIR is relative to Plugins dir, OR the dir from
# the $LOAD_PATH array that require used to find it.
RELDIR = File.dirname(PATH)

ROOT = $LOAD_PATH.find(false) do |abspath|
Kernel.test(?d, File.join(abspath, RELDIR))
end

if ROOT
ABSDIR = File.join(ROOT, RELDIR)
else
# assume the target dir is directly below, the dir that THIS file is in.
ABSDIR = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), RELDIR)
end

I put a file I call 'loader

I put a file I call 'loader.rb' in the plugin folder for each sketchup version. It contains 2 lines.

require 'sketchup.rb'
require_all('c:/users/public/documents/sketchup')

Sketchup uses it's own plugins folder and uses my public folder
Version specific plugins go into that versions plugins folder.
Really well behaved code goes into my public folder.
I have some plugins that work with Sketchup 7, 8, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016

All my own plugins that I have written go in the public area
All my plugins that make use of so files also go here. A piece of ruby code figures out the version of Sketchup and loads the appropriate '.so' file when necessary.

Garry,

Sorry Skalp can't be copied from version to version because it uses some parts programmed in C++ and this parts needs to be compiled for every different SketchUp version. On installation the correct version will be installed.

Can you send me the errors to support@skalp4sketchup.com?

Kind regards,

Guy
