Architectural Design with SketchUp so forth, as well as add labeled spaces. It is even possible to use an autosurfacing function that will do most of this work for you. gbXML files can then be exported as well as imported. Graphing Plugins If you need to visualize mathematical functions in SketchUp either to serve as a basis for geometry creation or simply to get a 3D representation, these plugins will help you. GraphIt—by R. Wilson—Free [4]—Draws 2D Cartesian equations. k-tools—by K. Krusch—Free [3]—Draws 2D and 3D Cartesian, polar, and cylindrical functions. Creates faceted shells for 3D functions. Menger Sponge—by Regular Polygon—Free [5, 6]—Creates a fractal geometry “spongy” box. Sierpinski Tetrahedron—by Regular Polygon—Free [5, 6]— Similar to the Menger Sponge, but with triangles. IES Virtual Environment By IES—Free/Commercial [www.iesve.com] IES provides a free building energy estimation and carbon analysis plugin (VE-Ware) for SketchUp as well as a commercial plugin (VE-Toolkit) that allows for quick, iterative, early-stage design analysis of a SketchUp energy model. The commercial plugin analyzes climate, natural resources, building metrics, construction materials, energy, carbon, daylight, solar shading, water, low- and zero-carbon technologies, and ASHRAE/CIBSE heating and cooling loads. A further module can also provide Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) credit assessment. Example 4.8: Creating an Energy Analysis Building Model with OpenStudio In this example, we create a small “building” (only a single room, actually) using the OpenStudio plugin, which could serve as a model for use in EnergyPlus building energy analysis. This is just a very basic example model. For more details and to learn about running and interpreting the analysis, consult the OpenStudio documentation. To enable the OpenStudio functionality, make sure you have the plugin installed before you begin. When you create building models for energy analysis, keep in mind that you usually don’t need to model actual material thicknesses. Walls, for example, are just single quadrilateral faces in SketchUp. Too much geometry is often counterproductive (and increases analysis time); therefore, you can usually ignore small wall recesses or protrusions. 1. Before we can add any walls, we need to designate a space (a zone) that will contain the area. Use the New Space tool on the OpenStudio Tools toolbar for this. 122
Chapter 4 Using Plugins Effectively 2. Click at the origin and place the new Space group. It appears as a blue outlined box. 3. Now double-click it to go inside the space component (similar to SketchUp’s usual group editing mode). 4. Using SketchUp’s standard modeling tools, draw a box inside this component. This will be our building. As you can see, the outlines of the Space group adjust to the size of the geometry that you add. 123
