Where can I learn about US framing?

US wood, CFS, CLT and CMU workflows are part of Lizark v1.0.24. See /products/lizark/us-framing/ for real SketchUp examples and /tutorial/lizark/us-framing/ for settings and drawing steps. Use Lizark v1.0.24 or later and check the installer version on the download page.

Does US framing replace my solid walls or need enabling every time?

In Lizark v1.0.24, choose United States and a structure in Regional & Structural Setup, check US framing and Apply. Save the SKP to retain the model profile. Also use for new models remembers future defaults. Existing geometry is preserved. Uncheck US framing and Apply to return supported drawing to solid wall mode.

Are US framing presets engineered or code approved?

No. US framing uses user-sized modeling geometry and does not calculate loads, connections, reinforcement or ratings. It does not certify IRC or IBC compliance.

Use TAB/CTRL for side mode, Shift for straightening, Alt for temporary freehand, F8 for height, and D/W/V/J shortcuts to insert door/window/vent/gap openings.

What is Web Draw Wall?

A CAD-style 2D canvas inside SketchUp for tracing PDF/JPG/PNG/DWG plans, drawing centerlines, adding openings and structural markers, then generating 3D walls with Update Model. It exports DXF, PDF, PNG, JPG, SVG, and JSON. Basic includes up to 5 hours per month; Pro and Studio usage is unlimited.

What does the Web Draw 3D preview show?

It previews the active walls, hosted openings, columns, and beams before Update Model. You can orbit, use six preset views, toggle edges, dimensions, and fog, move hosted markers, and continue drawing walls in 3D. Roads, stairs, footings, and floors still use the full Update Model pipeline.

What can Structural Multi Tool draw?

One panel draws beams, plinth beams, rectangular or round columns, pad or spread footings, strip footings, combined footings, and slabs. It includes live viewport HUD dimensions, Measurements typing, object and viewport previews, placement levels, materials, textures, and existing SketchUp tags.

Is Finish Brush the same as painting a face?

No. Plaster is a separate measured shell with interior or exterior intent and preserved opening cutouts. Paint is stored as a separate zero-thickness finish layer. LizArk keeps finish data with the source object so plaster and paint can be updated or removed independently.

Use the tracing tools to place markers on wall pairs, then run the Generate 3D workflow. Markers become real geometry such as doors, windows, gates, vents, and compound walls.

How do I move my license to another computer?

On the old machine, open LizArk → Settings → License → Release. Then activate on the new machine with the same key.
