What would it take to add on to Sketchup, a program to size timber?

Not enough demand?

Would it threaten the engineers work?

For what it's worth I believe you are right, not anytime soon.


Too many variables for a simple solution. The basic calcs are easy, but the infinite number of configurations means that there is no formula that can handle all circumstances. The closest thing might be Finite Element Analysis, but that's a bear to configure even in 2D from what I've been told. CB.


I have heard that excuse before. Infinite number? What is the poor human to do?
