The Philosophy Behind Yqarch

The plugin was created by YQArchitecture to solve a simple problem: SketchUp is fast for massing but slow for details. Yqarch introduces a CAD-like logic inside SketchUp. You draw lines, and the plugin interprets them as architectural elements. Version 6.7.4 takes this philosophy further by optimizing the underlying code for multi-core processors. Yqarch 6
