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...

PreDesign looks good, will there be a PreConstruction?

This is going to be extremely helpful, great feature!

SUPER HANDY. THANKS, SketchUp!!!

An export all or print all to .pdf type of thing would be fantastic so I could show someone else. Doing this manually suuuucks. =)

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...

Wooooow! Yeah! As architect I love this feature

Is there any other software like this " PreDesign " for earlier design stages? I know this questions is not appropriate here. Sry

Great overview team like to see more about the ability to assess against Australian energy assessment requirements if that is possible?

How do you not love Sketcup?

Love it!

Cool. Much helpful for architects

Can we save these informations into a PDF or Word.exe? Is there a save button to compile all this info?

This is an excellent idea'

I could see this very helpful for window/door replacement companies for starters if you can publish this to PDF for clients

"Duckpuppy"? Aussie icon there !

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.

I grew up in Longmont! Weird.

It looks like a cool feature but will I be able to load data for locations outside the U.S?

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.

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

Is there a downloadable version of sketch up or have they changed that? Thank you.

How worldwide is PreDesign capable? European desings, people and buildings are totally different from that in 'Merica...

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

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.

This function should be in the software, not online.

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.
