Precision Scaling Plugin for SketchUp

Deadline: 2026-04-07
Project-Based

Description

Budget: ₹1500 - ₹12500

I need a custom SketchUp extension that lets me select any 2D shape or full 3D model and instantly resize it to exact target dimensions, rather than relying on proportional scaling alone. The workflow I picture is simple: I pick the entity, enter or otherwise feed the final width, height, and/or depth, and the plugin recalculates the scale factor behind the scenes so the object ends up at those precise measurements.

SketchUp’s Ruby API will obviously be the backbone, but I am flexible on how you expose the controls—either a lightweight graphical panel or a command-line style input in the console works for me as long as it feels streamlined inside SketchUp. Accuracy is critical; the plugin has to respect unit settings (metric or imperial) and recognise nested groups or components so entire assemblies scale correctly.

Deliverables • Signed.rbz ready for drag-and-drop installation • Well-commented Ruby source files • Brief usage guide covering both UI and console workflows • One round of tweaks after I test it on real models

Acceptance criteria The tool must scale selected 2D faces and 3D component/group hierarchies to the exact numeric dimensions I supply, with no distortion or loss of geometry integrity, and work on the current SketchUp desktop release for Windows and macOS.

If this is within your skill set—especially if you have shipped SketchUp extensions before—I’d love to see your approach and timeline.
