This is great but...I'd love a "Pre-Structural" feature... something that gives me initial sizing of structural members (of course, still not suitable for construction}.... eg column / beam sizes, slab thickness...
Moving to the industrial design area; PreDesign for Piping, or PD for Industrial Vessels in Continuous Process, or PD for automated systems.... the potential for PreDesign to 'ramp up' SK'UP Pro into numerous disciplines at the industrial level is quite startling. The PD'sng Team would need to fully incorporate the mech eng. 'extensions' already published... but the implications are fascinating.
@@garyspeed8961 Exactly. Seismic Zone, type; Steel, Concrete precast, frame..... Wind loads? The Pre-Design idea is pretty strong if it evolves along the logical branches.
Very good start for a pre design tool and well organised. Does it take into its assessment, the terrain the building is in (next to a mountain that casts shadow for example). I look forward to see how this develops and hope it will take in more aspects like house types for weather conditions like snow, or terrain like swamp, rocks...
Maybe helpful for architects and project managemet, but for just visualisation projects working with the 2D drawings I get and what materials to use on specific faces, the use of PreDesign is not yet clear to me.
You should implement improvments in modeling , people are paying a hight prize for the software but need to pay more to buy plugins to do things that sketchup should do in the first place
The more videos I watch the giddier I get with oooooh I want to do that. I have a problem with wanting to try everything in virtual and real-life LOL I'm a contractor. My partner is the opposite. He's happy with using a feather quill and ink, counting fingers for calcs and 2 Donald duck juice cans with string for a phone
I don't really like this. Sketchup's strength is in being a general tool, it doesn't need to specialise like this and I'd prefer to see better development of core features.
PreDesign looks good, will there be a PreConstruction?

Is there any other software like this " PreDesign " for earlier design stages?
I know this questions is not appropriate here. Sry
An export all or print all to .pdf type of thing would be fantastic so I could show someone else. Doing this manually suuuucks. =)
Can we save these informations into a PDF or Word.exe? Is there a save button to compile all this info?
How do you not love Sketcup?
Great overview team like to see more about the ability to assess against Australian energy assessment requirements if that is possible?

Pre Structure ?

This is going to be extremely helpful, great feature!
Wooooow! Yeah! As architect I love this feature
It looks like a cool feature but will I be able to load data for locations outside the U.S?
Yep! It was actually built outside of a US in our London office!
I could see this very helpful for window/door replacement companies for starters if you can publish this to PDF for clients

SUPER HANDY. THANKS, SketchUp!!!
How worldwide is PreDesign capable? European desings, people and buildings are totally different from that in 'Merica...
The team that put PreDesign together is actually in our London office! European information should be no problem!
@@AaronMakingStuff thx, nice to read that.
@@AaronMakingStuff Vietnam? :)
I grew up in Longmont! Weird.
Is there a downloadable version of sketch up or have they changed that?
Thank you.
Yep! As always you can download the latest version from www.SketchUp.com
@@AaronMakingStuff Ok, thank you👍
Pardon me, what's happened to the red cube logo ??
@@JohnColgan. I think Trimble went "Hey, google just got a load of new logos, maybe we can do the same, but somehow worse"
Yep ... Right there!!
"Duckpuppy"? Aussie icon there !

Cool. Much helpful for architects
Love it!

Looks overwhelming if I just want too sketch a simple beginning of a house design. You really didn't show much of the design part.
PreDesign is a tool that helps you gather information before you start your design. The actual design of your structure happens in SketchUp!
This is an excellent idea'
This function should be in the software, not online.
