1. WHAT IS MODELUR? 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 


Modelur is a parametric urban design tool. It is implemented as a plug-in for
Trimble SketchUp. 


With Modelur you can: 
- rapidly design built environment, 
- respond quickly to changed conditions of planned site, 
- automatically change built environment, 
- quickly create different variants of urban design solution, 
- avoid mistakes issued by wrong building articulation and 
- have continuous supervision about achieved urban control values. 


------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 


To run Modelur, your system must meet these specifications: 
- Microsoft Windows or Apple OS X, 
- Trimble SketchUp from v2017 to v2023, 
- Internet Explorer 10 or later (Windows) or Safari 5.0 (Mac OS X). 


------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
3. SETUP AND CONFIGURATION 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 


3.1 Installation Instructions 


There are several ways you can install Modelur: 
- Using universal RBZ installer. 
- Via Extension Warehouse. 
- Via SketchUcation Plugin Store. 


To install a SketchUp Ruby plugin in RBZ format use the standard SketchUp
installation procedure: 
- We recommend logging into your computer as an admin before installing any Ruby
  scripts. This will make the installation go more smoothly and ensure that files get
  installed in the proper places. 
- Select Window → Extension Manager (Windows) or SketchUp → Extension Manager (OS
  X). The Preferences dialog box is displayed. 
- Click on Extensions. The Extensions panel is displayed. 
- Click on the Install Extension button. The Open dialog box is displayed. 
- Locate the Ruby zip file to install (.rbz). 
- Click on the Open button. The Ruby plugin appears in the list of extensions. 


3.2 Uninstall Instructions 


To uninstall Modelur from your computer: 
- Delete Modelur.rb and /Modelur directory from SketchUp's /Plugins directory. 


To temporarily disable Modelur, uncheck it under SketchUp > Window >
Preferences > Extensions.

  changed.

5. KNOWN LIMITATIONS 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 


- When using Live connection to Excel, the Sketchup might become unresponsive if
  Excel requires user attention. Proposed solution: switch to Excel and finish the
  operation in Excel, the Sketchup should become responsive again. 
- GIS import is not working well with edge cases, eg. when parts of model are on
  different sides Equator or when attribute names contain non-ascii characters. 
- GIS Data import is limited to WGS84. Area calculation differs for a small
  amount (usually < 1%) from area calculated with GIS applications as areas are
  calculated using Cartesian (flat) instead of Spherical method. 
- Live connection to Excel only works on Windows OS. 
- SketchUp 2019 and below: slow performance and opening of large models when
  SketchUp's Outliner panel is opened. Proposed solution: hide the Outliner when opening
  the model (and when working with Modelur). 
- When using Value Control Box to specify exact distance of pushpull when
  manually editing the building to add eg. terrace, user can input the exact distance
  only once. Workaround: please re-select face and pushpull the face again. 
- Complex Buildings currently don't take into account terraces and loggias when
  calculating Gross Floor Area. 
- Manually edited buildings might behave strange or even get corrupted when
  changing number of storeys. Proposed solution: make manual editing only after you will
  not be changing Building's number of storeys anymore. 
- Avoid calling undo right after Modelur model is initialized as if will cause an
  error. 
- On OS X you can work with only one instance of Modelur model at a time.
