description 🔗
Medeek Truss is a SketchUp Extension that provides a simple interface for creating accurate 3D truss and roof geometry within SketchUp. This extension utilizes the SketchUp Ruby API programming interface and is compatible with the latest SketchUp releases (SketchUp Make 2017 64-bit and SketchUp Pro 2024 64-bit) as well as previous versions (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023).
