Scale By ( Image / Attractors / Equation ) Tools Extension for SketchUp
This extension contains a set of tools to scale / move / rotate several objects / faces / vertices based on an image, attractors, or a mathematical formula (power or sine / cosine). Many parameters are available to tailor each tool to achieve a specific solution.
Random Tools Extension for SketchUp
This extension contains a set of tools to randomize various things in a SketchUp Model, such as: Object placement, rotation, scale, face extrusion, vertex locations, textures. Also allows to place objects randomly on faces or on edges (with scale, rotation, and orientation variations) and to swap or erase objects randomly.
