The amazing 3D drawing tool - with engineering components
Messenger for desktop setup. With the free Engineering ToolBox extension for SketchUp you can add standard and customized parametric components - like flange beams, lumbers, piping and more - to your SketchUp model.
Figure 2 - An Isometric Drawing. Any engineering drawing should show everything: a complete understanding of the object should be possible from the drawing. If the isometric drawing can show all details and all dimensions on one drawing, it is ideal. One can pack a great deal of information into an isometric drawing.
SmartDraw gives you the power to create engineering drawings of all kinds more easily and more affordably than any other engineering design software on the market. With SmartDraw, you'll always start with a relevant template. Work with many painting tools online, it's a free online paint tool.
The Engineering ToolBox extension works with Sketchup Make (free) and Sketchup Pro - on Windows and Mac computers.
SketchUp is intuitive, fun and free (Sketchup Make) for anyone to use.
- SketchUp is fun and easy to use
- With Sketchup you can picture anything in 3D
- With Sketchup you can share models with friends

The Engineering Sketch Pad (ESP): Supporting Design Through Analysis
Speaker: Bob Haimes, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
April 27, 2017
Abstract
Engineering Sketch Online App
Aerospace vehicle design can be described as an evolutionary process of gathering information to make informed decisions. Meticulous application of this process involves numerous simulations covering many disciplines and fidelity levels. A design team needs to be able to easily increase or decrease fidelity as they gather more information and learn about a particular design (and potentially change the design parameterization to better capture the mission). To this end a fully parametric geometry system that can support multi-disciplinary, multi- fidelity analysis from a single source is required. The Computational Aircraft Prototype Syntheses (CAPS), which is a part of the Engineering Sketch Pad (ESP), satisfies the above by combining proven computational geometry, best-in-class meshing, and analyses model generation techniques into a complete browser-based, client-server environment that is accessible to the entire design team of an aerospace vehicle. CAPS links analysis and meshing disciplines to any ESP geometry model via dynamically-loadable Analysis Interface Module (AIM) plugins. CAPS is accessed from a browser-based user interface, a Python interface and/or Multi- Disciplinary Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) framework through an API. This presentation describes the fundamental building blocks of ESP. The paradigm shift of creating multi-disciplinary geometry for multi-fidelity design is described.
Biography
Engineering Sketch Online
Bob Haimes is a Principal Research Engineer in the Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory of the Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The major research focuses have been (1) scientific visualization for the results from CFD simulations, (2) parallel, distributed and High-Performance Computing, (3) applied computational geometry and (4) the use of geometry in conceptual through final design. Bob has had a number of projects in these areas funded by NASA, DoD, and industry. The research commonly has a component that produces software, which has a longer life and is more useful than the original investigation. The products Visual3 and pV3 (for CFD-style visualization) are still in use (even though they were introduced decades ago). CAPRI is an expression of the research in applied computation geometry, which has been commercialized. The Engineering Sketch Pad is the most recent foray into providing a consistent view of geometry throughout the multi-disciplinary, interdisciplinary and multi-fidelity design process.
