====== SketchUp Plugin - ENVI-met INX======

ENVI-met INX for Sketchup is an open source plugin for Sketchup to create ENVI-met 2.5D models. As all of our Plugins it is free to use and enables you to easily export 3D models from Sketchup to the ENVI-met .INX format.


===== Quick start =====
Download and install SketchUp.

Opening SketchUp, go to Extensions - Extension Warehouse.

===== Features =====
With the plugin, you can quickly create ENVI-met model areas based on your SketchUp drawings. These model areas can then be used to run a microclimate simulation with the ENVI-met. 

The following settings can be adjusted by the user:

  * horizontal and vertical dimensions of model domain
  * spatial resolution of model domain
  * building structures (height, undercuts, wall & roof materials and roof and facade greenings
  * surface types
  * simple vegetation such as grass as well as more complex vegetation such as trees
  * digital elevation models -> terrain
  * sources of gases / particulate matter
  * receptors


===== Documentation =====

You can find the Github page [[https://github.com/One-Click-LCA/Envimet-INX|here]]

==== Layers ====

The ENVI-met model area is a three-dimensional spaces that consists out of individual cuboids. These cuboids can be part of a building, a tree, a terrain etc. To export ENVI-met model areas, the user needs to specify which SKP-Entities contain the different information (buildings, vegetation, etc.).
