SHADE SHELTERS TOOLBOX v2.00

Trimble SketchUp
FREE Trimble SketchUp 3D drawing and modeling program. (formerly called Google SketchUp)






Building Type

This site is just getting started so it's functionality is a bit limited. Currently it will create a polygon shaped structure with 3 thru 12 sides,
one or two tiered roof. You can select member sizes. At some point I will put some logic into the available choices.
So far I am very impressed with Trimble SketchUp's features and it's Application Programming
Interface seems very useful in creating useful plugins. Feel free to email me with any suggestions or tips.

Select Member Sizes

If you need a certain size that is not on the list, contact me and I will add it in.
I finally have all these sizes being pulled form the web server's database and sending them to your SketchUp so they all should work
Note: not all the member sizes are actually used on shelters. So until I filter out ones that are not available for final fabrication,
select with caution. At some point I will put the logic in to further refine the available selection. This is not currently doing any structural
calculations.


This will only work if this browser was created in SketchUp by choosing the Extensions>Shade Shelters Toolbox menu item. See sidebar to download required plugin.
