Plugin Sketchup — 1001 Bit

Porting to SketchUp 2025’s new Ruby 3.2 API; adding undo group batching.

Generates standard runs with options for closed or open risers, stringers, and handrails.

Offers a robust selection of 29 functional tools covering basic architectural elements like stairs, windows, doors, and walls.

Roof modeling is notoriously difficult in native SketchUp due to complex hip and valley intersections. 1001bit Pro solves this with dedicated roof tools: 1001 bit plugin sketchup

Instantly create rectangular or arched door frames wrapped around your wall openings.

Draw a simple rectangle on one of your walls representing where you want a window. Click the tool.

Creating a hip roof manually in SketchUp can involve complex geometry and multiple intersecting planes, but with 1001bit you simply select a planar face and click the tool. A dialog box asks for pitch angle and overhang distance, and the tool generates the entire roof structure in seconds. The Pro version also generates structural framing – rafters, ridge beams, joists – automatically, saving you from laborious manual extrusion. Porting to SketchUp 2025’s new Ruby 3

The biggest weakness of standard SketchUp is that it is "dumb" geometry. If you change a wall height, your stairs don't update. With 1001 Bit, you can double-click any generated object and change its parameters retroactively. The plugin rebuilds the geometry on the fly.

The Pro version also includes a , so you can test it thoroughly before purchasing. For students and academic users, the Standard version remains free indefinitely , and educational rates are available for the Pro version.

Creating stairs manually involves complex math and boolean operations. 1001 Bit automates this. You simply define the height, width, rise, run, and landing requirements, and the plugin generates a fully editable, 3D staircase ready for rendering or construction documentation.

Automatically calculates winders and landings based on your total height.

In the dialog box, enter the desired (width) and height for your post.
