All the advantages of SketchUp (many supported formats, model editing, texture preservation, etc.) combined with the magic of BIMShell to get simplified versions of your most challenging models.
Tired of struggling with 3D models that are way too complex for your needs? BIMShell is your firend! It is a tool that ingests BIM models and automagically produces their shell (envelope) version. This is usefull for applications where only the general appearance of a model is needed and where the inside part of your BIM is not relevant or simply gets you in trouble (e.g., too detailed, too heavy to process, legal/privacy concerns, etc.). BIMShell is delivered in two ways: a cloud version (web) and (very soon!) a desktop version that comes as an extension for SketchUp. More details about them can be found below.
BIMShell 4 SketchUp is a SketchUp Extension that makes easy the creation of simplified versions of complex models. It is compatible with SketchUp 2017 and above, on Windows and Mac.
BIMShell Cloud is an online portal where you can drop your most 3D models and let it get you simpler shell versions.
