RpTools’ functions are easy to learn and use alongside SketchUp’s functions.  You’ll be up and running in no time making the most of the additional controls you have at your fingertips.  Extend SketchUp’s capabilities and be more productive with RpTools.

 

  • Components – Move, Copy, Rotate, Mirror, Stretch, Aim
  • Materials – Select, Edit, Place
  • 2D Plotting– edge line colors and thickness, 2D Text
  • Rooms– create a room for quick placement of components
  • Shapes– create render friendly standard 3D shapes.
  • Non-photorealistic – apply non-Photorealistic rendering effects.

Use our range of Component Wizards to quickly manipulate components in your model.

 

  • Move Wizard – precisely move a component along an axis
  • Copy Wizard – create a copy of a component and place
  • Mirror Wizard – mirror a component around an axis
  • Rotate Wizard – rotate a component using different anchor points
  • Stretch Wizard – stretch a component
  • Aim Component – aim or point a component
  • Select / Place Component – select components from your libraries, view, spin, and orbit, and rotate during placement

Place Material uses an Explorer type tree to select materials and place them directly on faces without having to open components and groups for edit.

 

The tool “drills” into the model to determine which face, (or component or group), to change to place the material.

Non-photorealistic tools enable you to quickly create non-photorealistic effects that help your designs standout with prospects and clients.

  • Soft and Sketchy Shadows – create images from SketchUp with soft shadows from the sun. Create sketchy shadows by applying a texture pattern on a soft shadow.
  • Sketchy Textures – create your own sketchy textures to be used with SketchUp or Sketchy Shadows.
  • Soft Edges – saves an image of your model with colored, transparent or softer edges.
  • Crayon Colors – select from 132 Crayola® colors to achieve a crayon look.
  • Save Model as Image – saves special images such as edges only or shadows only for you to combine in a paint program like Photoshop for special effects.
  • Tileable Texture – make any image or pattern tileable or repeatable for use as a SketchUp material.

  • Shapes Wizard – create simple render friendly shapes such as bottles and cylinders
  • Alpha Channel – add an alpha channel to a raster image
  • Alpha Images – save image as an alpha image
