VE Gaia - SketchUp Plugin

VE-Gaia, a new module debuting in the upcoming VE 6.0, creates revolution in building performance analysis. The plug-in contains a series of expandable bullet items that leads to perform specific building performance analyses through a logical workflow.

The plug-in comes up with the power of IES analysis with the help of its step-by-step” smart navigation that includes a series of tasks ranging from advanced modeling, to energy/carbon analysis, to LEED and Green Star credit interrogation and report creation.

The plug-in can generate complex advanced simulations that facilitates designers to identify progress, control quality, iterate workflows, trigger simulations, filter results and produce automated visual and rich-text reports.

Project stakeholders get the ability to mould and explain the progress of the work within the framework supported by the Navigators.

The plug-in contains ‘notes’ and ‘date/user stamp’ functions which leads to quality assurance process to be exported for documentation purposes.

The plug-in can create quick, fruitful feedback from architectural models directly as it has direct linking with SketchUp™, Revit® and ArchiCAD®. Alongwith GBXML and DXF import functions the plug-in can input and manipulate appropriate building data within an integrated central data model.
