Kristo, Skalp adds one missing feature to SketchUp, but it's a feature you need to created real plans and sections from your 3D model and use SketchUp like a real BIM software. It's indeed foolish to compare a 600$ software with a 6000$ software ;-) But the real difference is much smaller than the price difference! Kind regards, Guy
Is the galling computer voice included with the Skalp program? On a more serious note, this software adds fairly little to Sketchup's fundamentally primitive documentation features. It's foolish to compare it with ArchiCAD or Revit for example, albeit Sketchup is quicker and more adept at modelling complex shapes. If you could put all the function of your pattern editor into Revit, that would be a very fine thing!
Please send your model to support@skalp4sketchup.com so we can investigate what you are doing wrong or maybe the following helps you understand why this is happening: Why are some parts not filled correctly? In essence, Skalp searches and selects particular sets of faces from the model, intersects them with the section plane and looks for 'closed loops' in the results to fill. Only closed loops can get filled. Skalp will track and process your model 'context by context'. A 'context' is a Group, a Component or simply the Model itself. So, the process starts by taking your top level context: the model itself. Next, Groups and Components are taken one at a time. The resulting 'fills' will be updated and placed into one managed group in your model. While not necessary, it is good practice to try to create components and groups that are 'manifold', 'solid' objects. These objects will be processed faster and are likely to produce cleaner section results. If a selected object reports a'Volume' in the entity info dialog, this indicates it is a valid solid object. Skalp does track nested objects. That is: groups or components inside other groups or components. So organizing your model in smaller nested groups/components might help getting better section results.
I just love the I am EVA an Architect...I'd love to see her in the right bottom corner

I use the pro version 2018. I can't (at point 9:07) to aktivate an element and hatch it. It don't works. What I'm doing wrong?
Did you solve this issue?
Hello, i don't know where i should to ask. So i do it here. Can i export skalp materials from one .skp to another one? How? Please.
can we render the section?

skalp hatches everything also voids.. how i can only hatch walls ?
