We have just published the June edition of sketchup ur space. The editorial team of sketchup ur space has written an exclusive cover story on various energy analysis plugins for sketchup. The energy analysis plugins play an important role in creating improved sustainable designs and analyze model efficiently.

In article section there are five exclusionary articles. The first article is presented by Belén Fernández Franca, a renowned technical architect and sketchup trainer. The article sheds light on some handy sketchup tips for 3d printing with sketchup.

The second article is submitted by Ismail Rebbane, the 3d visualization expert. This article is based on rendering additional lighting passes through Vraylightselect render element.

The other three articles written by the editorial team of sketchup ur space. In these articles, the first one is about an exclusive contest on 3d sketching app. 3d sketching app is a smartphone & tablet based 3d sketching app that includes some powerful brushes to generate 3d lines, shapes as well as uniform models with a simple mouse click.
