SketchUp plugin · v1.6.0

Door Studio

The door is where the client walks up and looks closely.

Everything else is seen from across the room. The door is seen from forty centimetres — and that is where a box with a texture on it falls apart. Modelling one panelled door by hand takes about 25 minutes, which is why most models end up with the same flat slab repeated down the corridor. This parametric door plugin for SketchUp places a real door in about 20 seconds: pick from 51 models in 4 categories, click the wall, and the stiles, rails, rebated frame, mitred architrave, raised panel, glazing bead, hinge and lock are there as actual geometry. 572 automated tests run green, on SketchUp 2021 through 2026.

How much time does it save?

Modelling one panelled door by hand

With this tool20seconds

Pick the model, click the wall

You never line it up by hand

It raytests the wall for direction, thickness and floor level, so the door arrives aligned on the first click. Seen from above, two corner clicks give it the same answer.

Let the client change their mind

Click a placed door, the panel loads its settings, change what you want and it rebuilds in place. The whole session undoes with one Ctrl+Z, so trying three options costs you nothing but curiosity.

What holds up when someone zooms in?

Real profiles do. Identical profiles share one component definition, so a hundred doors across a project collapse into a handful of definitions — edit one, they all update, and the file stays light enough to keep working in.
