I'm returning to architecture after a long career in corporate property development (I started in the days of pencil on tracing paper) and i love Sketchup and the ability to undertake 3D design at concept stage. I've worked my way up to an intermediate competency and am now ready to dive into Extensions - I'll probably start with your #10 Plusspec and probably quickly add on the rood design and ground/site modulation tools. Thanks for the video, it's very helpful for me.

As a Career Tech. Teacher for High Schoolers, the #10 PlusSpec looks like the best option to train up the next gen of builders and architects...Thx for this great content! Mr.V

this video conviced me more that i need to learn archicad or revit

[SteveRuggMastermarketeer]

I like Chuck's extensions so far. Currently working with Profile Builder's learning curve with Justin.

Wow, what an amazing and helpful list! Really appreciate how you narrowed it down to the more essential ones.

[mohammedqadir]

Professional and comprehensive in a large and broad sense

I love all of those paid extensions that are listed in the video. The only i don't like is you pay them by subscription/ just renting not a one-time payment like you owned it.

[interiordesignschool]

Fantastic high-quality videos and informative content. Thank you! Off to get plus spec!

The biggest barrier to all of this is the cost for those who don't know how likely they will make a return on the investment. It would be nice to see a fully functioned architectural open source package, something like Blender, with everything you could need for most any residential architecture already built in. Even better, be able to edit the underlying code via node-based interface, to create your own off-shoots of tools. I would love the parametric abilities of Inventor / Revit combined with the ease and content of Chief Architect, the modeling tools and inferences of SU, and the animation/rendering of Blender & 3dsmax, all tightly integrated. But of course how would this get built and paid for :) probably a dream too far.

Very good like it. Will watch again and again

Alex: Yes I learned something new, -Glad to hear more about some new dimensions to Sketchuip School, as in library of tutorials on Artisan and to learn more about Enroth, Flatten to plane. Those two extensions could be very useful. I had a version of Valli Doors/Windows extensions, and liked what was there, but didn't know enough about all the required specifications to make it useful. Although they were very willing to answer questions. The library's on Valli alone is worth the cost of the extension. Seriously researching Skimp. Most of what I do is indoors so not worried about topography Regards, JB

[samiranorouzidinashi]

Thanks a lot.
Interesting and useful.

[thebacks]

Interesting but can you consider producing a video looking at the best free SketchUp problem solvers for non professionals looking to model housing projects?

[createch]

Artisan and Profile Builder are the best

[contras.]

Wow, what an amazing and helpful list! Really appreciate how you narrowed it down to the more essential ones. Just found this channel, earned another subscriber and hope to support the website too!

[fahmimashrafi]
