About this gig

Do you need a custom SketchUp plugin to speed up steel framing, metal fabrication, or production tasks?


I develop custom SketchUp extensions using Ruby and the SketchUp API for companies that need to automate repetitive modeling and fabrication workflows.


Your plugin can be designed around your specific profiles, framing standards, components, manufacturing rules, and output requirements.


I can develop features such as:

  • Steel framing generators
  • Light gauge steel framing tools
  • Custom profile libraries
  • Automated stud and track placement
  • Beam and column generators
  • Panel/frame generation
  • Connection and component placement
  • Automatic dimensions and annotations
  • BOM and material takeoffs
  • Cutting lists
  • Member numbering
  • Fabrication data export
  • CSV/Excel compatible reports
  • Custom toolbars and menus
  • Parametric design controls


The goal is to create a practical production tool that reduces manual CAD work and improves consistency.


Send me your current workflow, sample SketchUp files, drawings, spreadsheets, or fabrication requirements, and I can determine the best automation approach.
