Trimble Creator: Introduction to Parametric SketchUp
In this tutorial I show how the newly released Trimble Creator works. This tool/service allows you to create parametric "Live Components" for SketchUp and lets you come up with some cool designs (or product configurators). It is based on a visual node-programming principle (like Grasshopper or Dynamo), but unlike those is web-based.
You can try all of this for yourself at https://creator.trimble.com/.
For more on what you can do with SketchUp, check out my site https://sketchupfordesign.com and my book "Architectural Design with SketchUp".
