This extension comes with the ability to quickly add door and window openings, as well as move them around within house builder assemblies. Now, you can add openings using the opening creation tools. Once you’ve drawn the outline of your framing, you can come in and add walls along the lines that you’ve outlined. Note that you can adjust all the settings for the framing in the settings section.
We’re going to start off by drawing the outline of our house, then we’ll use house builder to generate our framed walls. Housebuilder allows you to generate framed wall assemblies, as well as generating roofs, and probably most importantly, openings in those wall assemblies. It has a great rafter framing tool that we’re going to use. The second is 1001 Bit tools, which I’ve talked about a bit in the past. 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. In today’s video, we’re going to use a pair of extensions to create a wood framed house model in SketchUp. If so, please consider supporting me on Patreon (click here to support)!
