you just killed sketchup soo cool

Gooood! A big bravo

My short cut for construction lines is D for Draw. And my Shortcut for Draw line is also D. So I double Tab D and am ready to go. ESC I put to Exit CL, because to deselct a tool i just hit S. Best regards.

Construction lines. Well, just bought the plugin and gave it a try. I am a former Autocad/Fusion 360/Rhino modeler but now I make everything in Blender. Sometimes I miss CAD features, tried Cad Transform tools (they do not support Blender 4.x) but don’t find them intuitive and prefer to use Blender 4.X much better snaps with “B-shortcut” points. Construction lines - sometimes they are vital, and I used to create them from objects and through in some “Helper collections”. The plugin is great but lacks some features. I hope the author can read through and implement some of these. 1. Window/Crossing selection tool - that great! I cannot understand why for these years of Blender existence this left/right window selection tool is not available! Even 3D max has it! Not speaking about CAD apps. SO many posts about it in the Blender feature wish list but still none. So I applause for this feature! 2. When adding a circle and make it smoother with Ctrl+mouse wheel, it would be really nice to see the vertex count. It is Blender after all, so I always need to bear in mind vertex count for topology matter. 3. There is no Snap to origin and snap to face center. I would say it is a huge dealbreaker for me. In 80% of cases I snap the centers of objects, its origins. And you have neither snap to origin, nor snap to a face. That’s really bad. As I remember well Cad Transform has these snaps. They are must have! 4. The plugin doesn’t snap to generate modifiers, for example solidify. I use in 90% this modifier, but with your plugin cannot snap to generated geometry, only to the origin. Again, that’s a dealbreaker! Blender snaps perfectly to generated geometry (solidify modifier). 5. Add mid mouse drag sideways to lock the axis as in Blender standards, it is much quicker and mor intuitive then pressing the X,Y,Z axis. 6. In move + divide, instead of /3, make it ctrl+scroll mouse wheel to add copies, so you can intuitively see if you are enough of the copies or need some more. Hard Ops/Box cutter have such an enhanced Array modifier. And make it as an option to create an Array modifier after adding these duplicates. It is always neater and cleaner to make the copies as an editable modifier, rather than making as real copies/duplicates. But not always, so as an option. 7. Extrude for making holes - awesome but… It will reset ALL the transformation (scale, rotation, location). So if I have a rotated 15 grad cube (so in transformation section it is 15 grad Z-rotated for example), and after I cut out the hole with your “extrude” it will reset the rotation transformation! So I will need to rotate the cube back 15 grad, so it is parallel to world axis, apply Rotation, and rotate it back. Now the transformation is back to 15 grad and you gismo box correct relative the rotated cube, and not parallel to the word axis as it was after the extrude. Please fix it! It should not reset the object transformations! Now it is a pain in the nack. 8. Make it possible to edit the length of the line, just selecting the pivot point and set a new length. For example I made the line 2051.121432543 - I want it to be exactly 2000! With the length I made it, it is pretty hard to move the empty point to make it exact 2000. Box cutter/Hard Ops has the similar feature, called “Set edge length”. Makes exactly what I wrote. 9. Make angle snaps - 15, 30, 45. So I want to draw a line for example at 45 grad without making it at first straight, then rotating. 10. Grid Sub Div - works only on an upper grid, for subdiv (when you zoom in), and sub-sub div grids it doesn’t snap. 11. Clean overlaps (when drawing one rectangular over the other). Not sure if it was possible but was nice as an option. 12. Origin point always stay in 3D cursor, not in the geometry center as would be logical! You need to always reposition it, otherwise you cannot scale normally (while it scales relatively from the origin point by default). 13. Juts t small question about modeling a bookcase. Why did you calculate the distance between vertical bookcase spacers, when you could just duplicate the left one to the right and then divide it by the number of these spacers to be set in between?

how do i change the measure value of an existing guide?

Yes! Where has this add-on been my whole Blender life. Thank you so much for your work on this. I hope this eliminates pain points I’ve had every time I have to switch over to modeling in Blender. I’m not sure I’ll use anything but Sketchup for architectural and cabinetry work, simply because SU was built with accuracy and speed in mind, and because you can move from concept to construction documents with relative ease. But I do use Blender for some product concepts when curves and bevels are needed. But with your tweaks to its modeling toolset I may consider Blender for a few more projects I’d typically just do in SU. I am curious though, is there a reason you’re using Blender for this type of visualization rather than just staying in Sketchup and then rendering in VRay?

I have waited for a tool like this for many many years now!!! Thank you so much for this amazing asset! My 3ds Max Spline heart can RIP now... Also getting Level Editor vibes like Ultimate Doom Builder really love it! <3 🔥

i'm using CL 0.9.691. and it can't extrude all faces at the same time. is it bug?

Great, thanks for the video

My God.... I just wanted to say, I'm that guy who really doesn't even agree with paying addons in a free program. But this is absolutely a take-my-money situation, as someone who has had to drop sketchup over time due to its trimble sale, becoming a webapp, moving to newer OSs, etc. Please, though, promise me to always keep this compatible with the latest versions of Blender, or to donate it to the Blender Foundation in the event that you become unable to maintain it.

Doesn't seem to be working on Blender 4+

You are an absolute ANGEL, thank you! Absolutely worth the money for an extension that just works right out of the metaphorical box :D

I tested a different tool with similar if not the same goal, couldn't figure out the rotation I wanted for half a day. Tested this instead and decided it was worth the price in under a minute. Good Job.

Question to Dan: Could one use this tool to design an interior and render result onto Blender's timeline with alternating cam angles, zoom ins and outs? (Forgive me, not well experienced with Blender yet, but it seems a pretty powerful app).

praise the lord

That cliping camera and wall trick is magic tip, didn't know this till now. Thank you.

terrible murmuring and high pitch noise in the background amplified with lips smacking. No recording of the keys being pressed and erratic long presentation.

46:03 how do you place books with gravity? is it an addon?

i would Kill for a guide, to transfer egger laminate sheet textures into blender, this guide is amaizing, and yes please. please please please make a guide on rendering. =]

Good will bless you for everything

I got problem extruding two windows or more in one wall. Wall geometry brakes down when making more than one opening for window. HEEEEEELP !!!!!

Thank you! You explain very well and I learned a lot!

Looks like the default Blender abilities but rewritten from verb input system to noun input system, to fit only simple usecases.

Hi, why is there no perpendicular snapping?

Does anyone know why the extrude function takes off the entire back side of the cube when you extrude through it? Is there something I m doing wrong? I just bought it, so I am a newbie.😊

Fantastic! It`s game changer for me, as theatre designer! Thank you.

👍👍👍

what is that dae addon youre using?

great addon but what if i wanna export a blue print with dimensions? is that possible???

finally....

i just bought it. is it possible to change the keyboard shortcut natively in blender "keymap" section? i use the industrial standard for view rotation and zoom etc (caming from maya), but with alt right mouse button the construction menu is opening. i guess its internally set to "right mouse release" no matter if you use alt or shift etc. generally i m heavily using the keymap. differentiate click, click-drag, and press options. if its not natively in the blender keymap section, is there at least a complicated workaround to adjust the shortcut in more complex way?

You are amazinggggggggg

I wanna cry, this is everything I've needed. Especially because I'm moving from Sketchup to Blender

Well done....👏👏👏how odd that Blender doesn't have a line tool

how can i delete dimention line ?.

First I want to thank you for developing a really great add-on. I have learned to use Sketchup in Windows for a lot of my 3D printer modeling. But I don't like Windows & have upgraded to Linux Mint DE. Of course Sketchup doesn't function in Linux so I've had to stick with Windows to do my modeling by dual booting my computer. I've been learning Blender & have been trying to figure out how to do things that I could do in Sketchup. Then I found your add-on & had to have it. It makes it so much easier to use Blender for 3d printer modeling. Your add-on is definitely a must have for Blender. Thank you.

incredible! thank you so much for taking the time to make and share this tool! I do woodworking and have used sketchup for years. I learned blender a few years ago, and missed the CAD elements for drawing layouts in the way I was used to in Sketchup. This add on is a huge help for me in my work - Thank you!

Great tool. After configuring it I tried to follow the given tutorial and lost some hours trying to figure out what went wrong with my setup. In the end I found it - I had set up Blender with millimeter precision. The room here is 5000x4000mm, my horizontal guide length was set to 1.0 so every line it created as a parallel construction line was so miniscule I couldn't see it. Maybe this is something for the FAQ or the manual (which I DID read 🙂).

Although I am reasonably proficient with Sketchup, Blender was a whole new experience for me. After checking out Blender a couple of years ago I put it all on hold. I found the most irritating feature to be the preference for using hot keys in most tutorials instead of the built-in toolsets. You can learn to use built-in tools using trial and error, but that doesn't really apply to hot keys!

is there a way for grid snapping to work in 3d mode?

I can see some cool SketchUp features are implemented here. Nice!

Quick tip. Watch in 1.25 speed 😆

hello we seem to have issue with size input values for 1000mm rectangle it is putting 1mm for some reason please advise ? also how to snap to grid.. TIA

1# OMG, this is so frustrating, Selecting, is a nightmare in or out of edit mode. #2 Numpad will only be a nav, NO input values regardless of Enter or NumLock toggle or Pref Direct Input/Numpad For Nav. #3 X (delete) will not fully delete. #4 move anything in smaller scales is jumpy regardless of Unit setup. # I want to like this, but OMFG is this frustrating.

I so don't understand the entering values.

After you have drawn reference lines (using the Tape command) how can you delete some of those lines?

How to edit lenth of single line? there no info in Item

I bought and installed your addon for blender 3.4 then 3.6 but wanting to stay current with blender 4.0 and I see from your website that it's not there yet. Looking forward to the update since something seems to be broke (for lack of a better word) Thanks again for having a great alternative to sketchup

I'd like to get it, however, Blender 4.0-stable version has just released. Is this already operational with the new version of Blender or should I wait till you do some update work?

Love this ... having trouble with guides ... the color! Yours is white in the video mine is black maki8ng it very hard to see ... How can I change that?
