Plugin for Hatching in sketchup

[u/smaslay]

Hi I built this plugin for hatching different patterns for various materials in sketchup itself,

How to use:
- create tags of different material and assign the respective group to those tags
-open the plugin and assign the hatch patterns for each tag

thats it

this can be easily saved as a scene and updated to layout to create section drawings

I would like some suggestions to make this more better and if we can add some good additional features to it

looks promising… what’s it called? how do I find it? is it free?

[u/smaslay → u/ElPepetrueno]

Thank you, I myself developed it, haven't hosted it yet , but I would love to share it to you

You can test it and give me the feedback

[u/theK1LLB0T → u/smaslay]

You should at least credit Claude with doing the actual work

[u/smaslay → u/theK1LLB0T]

I don't think I should , its a tool

When you present your arithmetic calculation, do you give credit to calculator every time you use it?

I like to know if the software I install is made with AI. Just like I like to know if the food I got served is microwaved or prepared by a chef.

As soon as he said he "developed it himself" it was a dead give away.

[u/ElPepetrueno → u/smaslay]

I'd test it. I was looking for something just like this not too long ago. I'd like to check it out and give you feedback.

I need this. Is it possible to change the background color of the patterns?

[u/smaslay → u/kippenmelk]

Yes totally

[u/kippenmelk → u/smaslay]

Opacity as well?

[u/smaslay → u/kippenmelk]

You don't need opacity though , since you won't have anything in the bclackgtound. But if you want to change the tone of colour you can just do it with colour picker

Very cool, sick looking design as well

Thank you 😊

SU needs this so bad!

[u/Tricky-Interaction75]

Definitely interested in trying it.

DM m , I will share the plugin

I'm a historical Skalp user and would love to give it a go

[u/_Neoshade_ → u/NoBuilding6052]

Is that a portmanteau for “I use the last version of Sketchup before it went $A$”?

[u/karamurp]

Awesome! Are these hatches vector or raster?

[u/smaslay → u/karamurp]

Raster

[u/mattnolette]

How comparable is this to Curic Section? I assume it’s leveraging ‘Color by Tag’. Does it create a group from section that needs to be updated?

I version of this kind of tool with good UI that runs locally is needed but I’m not touching it until it’s vetted in the Warehouse.

Parabéns! Gostaria de testar, pode compartilhar?

I love this! Being restricted to Layout for hashing sucks
