I'm trying to figure out how much of my practice needs to change as actually, right now, even in construction documentation stage, my work is similar to the work performed at a conceptual stage, with massing studies. Hi and and thanks for your continued input. I'll keep on posting my experiments and will stick to sketchup for now, if you don't mind, until I can do more stuff with other software.īest regards to all and thanks for your help so far. It would be great if someone could chime in and tell me if this looks right or if there's something strange. In the end I've imported the IFC file to BlenderBIM and it seems nice: You have to export using Jan Brawer's plugin or your component's names will be forgotten. Jan's plugin has a classification tool too, which has something related to Layers and Materials in it, which I will try later. You can click on the simplify button which complexifies the classification for other purposes besides architecture. You can use Sketchup Native classification and I found that the it is simplified in a streamlined way for architecture.
CURTAIN WALL PLUGIN SKETCHUP WINDOWS
I'll keep investigating how it's better structured as windows are sometimes glued to walls and inside them in Sketchup, but I'm guessing that will not work. So the outliner must have a component for a project, with a nested component for the site, with the building inside, storeys inside the building, windows in the storeys and I guess it keeps going on on for every other element. The only Sketchup objects that can be used are components. I started by structuring a very basic model as you would for an IFC file: The plugin is developed by Jan Brawer (Brewski whom I talked with a long time ago on Sketchucation), and has been trying, for ages to get to grips with BIM and Sketchup. The process I tried only worked using this plugin to export to IFC: It also seems we can use the IFC4 Schema if we want, but as the exporter is for IFC2x3 and broken it won't do any good.
It seems broken the native exporter is broken. Sketchup has a native IFC 2x3 exporter, and a classifier tool with the IFC 2x3 schema built in. For me it might be the starting point for actual diving into a BIM workflow with the tool I work with. I hope this topic is useful for someone in the same path as me.
CURTAIN WALL PLUGIN SKETCHUP FREE
I know it might be out of scope for OSArch as Sketchup is not opensource and not free anymore (for commercial use at least). I decided to step back a little and stick with what I know for now.
