SketchUp Extensions:
SketchUp’s API (Application Programming Interface) allows third party developers to develop programs which extend the native features and capabilities of SketchUp. They are mostly tools for automating modeling tasks, creating specific geometry, and report generation. There are a number of ways one may learn about, download, test and purchase (many are free!) SketchUp Extensions. There is SketchUp’s Extension Warehouse, Sketchucation (Sketchucation has a plugin for the Sketchucation Store – it is recommended to install this plugin for searching for and installing extensions directly into SketchUp), Smustard, and of course individual developer’s websites.
Extensions are generally installed using the Extension Manager inside of SketchUp. Extension Manager > Install Extension > (choose .rbz file you downloaded).
Our favorite developers include ThomThom, TIG, Fredo, Vali, Eneroth – these geniuses and their many plugins are easy to find and their tools save you time!

Estimator for SketchUp basically allows users to assign SketchUp objects and its attributes to items in their Items Databases (customizable) to generate quantity takeoffs and estimates.
Framer for SketchUp is a parametric wall framing extension, allowing users to model lumber-framed walls of any size and height, add window and door openings with specified headers, add sheathing or drywall, etc. Instantly report material quantities as you model with Estimator for SketchUp.
PDF Importer (Windows only at present) allows users to import vector-based PDF drawings (like floor plans) directly into SketchUp, without converting to cad files, etc. Result is vector versus raster, meaning you can snap to edges and endpoints. Great for importing floor plans and then model the building or object directly on the 2D outline!
Issue Tracker is a mark up tool inside of SketchUp. Quickly label an issue or item that needs correcting or editing and generate a branded report to share with clients or co-workers, etc., without having to write it down or create special report.
The ConDoc plugin expedites construction documents, automates design packets, and improves your project organization using SketchUp and LayOut platforms. Try out the ConDoc plugin today and you’ll wonder how you ever worked without it.
Profile Builder is an incredibly powerful parametric modeling extension for SketchUp.

In today’s video, we’re going to use a pair of extensions to create a wood framed house model in SketchUp.
The first is called house builder – it’s an extension from TIG that as far as I know, can only be downloaded from a forum post in SketchUcation. The second is 1001 Bit tools, which I’ve talked about a bit in the past. It has a great rafter framing tool that we’re going to use.
Housebuilder allows you to generate framed wall assemblies, as well as generating roofs, and probably most importantly, openings in those wall assemblies.
We’re going to start off by drawing the outline of our house, then we’ll use house builder to generate our framed walls.
Note that you can adjust all the settings for the framing in the settings section.
Once you’ve drawn the outline of your framing, you can come in and add walls along the lines that you’ve outlined.
Now, you can add openings using the opening creation tools. This extension comes with the ability to quickly add door and window openings, as well as move them around within house builder assemblies. This allows you to quickly and easily generate openings in your framed walls with proper framing.
Once we’ve developed this for our first floor, we’re going to add rafters with 1001 bit tools. I will note, you could also use and extension like Medeek Truss from Nathaniel Wilkerson, but that is a paid extension, where 1001 bit is free.
Now, we can add our upper level framing, then we’ll work on our roof. In this case, what we’re going to do is use 1001 bit tools to generate the rafters along our edges. Once again, Medeek Truss gives you more options for this if you don’t mind paying a few bucks.
To use 1001 bit tools, we’re going to start by generating the footprint of our roof as a face. Then we’ll use the “Automatically Create Hip Roof” function to generate the roof faces, then finally we’ll use the generate rafter function to finalize our roof.
