Description

CityEditor for SketchUp 4.1.0

CityEditor for SketchUp 4.1.0 is a powerful, specialized plugin that transforms Trimble SketchUp from a general 3D modeling tool into a rapid urban environment generator. Designed for architects, urban planners, game developers, and visualization specialists, this plugin enables users to procedurally create expansive and detailed 3D cityscapes, complete with buildings, streets, blocks, and urban furniture. It automates the tedious task of manually modeling large urban areas, allowing professionals to focus on design evaluation, context creation, and producing stunning visualizations for proposals and presentations.

 Core Functional Capabilities of CityEditor 4.1.0

  • Procedural City & Block Generation
    Create entire city districts or custom urban blocks with a few clicks. Define parameters like plot size, building height range, and architectural style, and let the plugin generate a varied yet coherent city layout populated with numerous unique building masses.

  • Smart Street & Road Network Tools
    Quickly lay out realistic street networks. Draw roads, intersections, and roundabouts; the plugin automatically generates proper curbs, sidewalks, and street markings, saving hours of manual modeling time for infrastructure.

  • Customizable Building & Facade Library
    Populate your city with diverse architecture. The plugin includes a library of parametric building components and facades. Users can customize appearances, apply different textures, and control level of detail (LOD) to balance visual richness with model performance.

  • GIS Data Integration & Terrain Following
    Import real-world context for accurate site modeling. CityEditor can use GIS shapefile data to define roads and plots. It also intelligently adapts generated buildings and roads to follow imported terrain meshes, creating a realistic and site-responsive 3D model.

The CityEditor Advantage for Urban Visualization

Manually modeling a credible city context for an architectural project can take weeks. CityEditor for SketchUp 4.1.0 collapses that timeline into hours or even minutes. Its strength lies in providing immediate, scalable 3D context that is both visually compelling and geometrically accurate enough for serious evaluation. For professionals who need to present their designs within a realistic urban setting—whether for a single building or a master plan—this plugin is an indispensable tool that dramatically enhances workflow efficiency and presentation impact.
