Could you please share your requirements more in detail?
Ian G.22 May 2017We design Lightning Protection Systems (LPS) as part of our services. LPS design relies on the 'rolling sphere' concept, so we'd like capacity to build a model (of the structures under study) in Sketchup, then have an extension/add-on to calculate tracking the rolling sphere over all external surfaces of the model until a 'draped' blanket of protection is apparent.
An example is shown in our blog... http://greymattersglobal.com/isolated-lps-design/ -
So you are looking for an extension to be built am i correct?
Ian G.22 May 2017Hi Goran
That's the intention unless you can think of a better way?Goran N.22 May 2017Extension is the best option and i understand the rolling sphere method. However can you elaborate exactly what you want to analyse. I'm concerned on the UI, i dont want to quote you on something to simple. Do you want me to submit a proposal so we can discuss this in the chat?
