Every estimator knows the pain. You get a Revit model exported to SketchUp, and now you're manually clicking through thousands of components trying to figure out what's timber, what's steel, what's concrete. Materials are mislabeled. Names are generic. And the architect just sent a revision.Form and Field does in seconds what takes you hours.

Smart Scan
One click. Every component.
Scans your entire SketchUp model and automatically detects every component, group, and material. Works with Revit exports, IFC files, and native SketchUp models — no manual counting.
Dual-parser engine — reads IFC metadata first, falls back to material-based parsing for messy Revit exports
Auto-categorization — timber, steel, sheathing, doors, plumbing — sorted automatically even when architects mislabel materials
Scan persistence — results save to the model file, no re-scanning when you reopen the project

Raygun Tool
X-ray vision for nested geometry.
Ray-casts through groups and components to reach the raw geometry inside — no double-clicking, no exploding, no accidentally breaking your model structure. Saves dozens of clicks on complex Revit imports.
Deep ray-cast — penetrates unlimited nesting levels to find actual geometry, stopping just before raw faces and edges
Zero disruption — never opens a component for editing, never changes selection context, never breaks your group hierarchy
Instant ID — shows dimensions, material, category, and nesting depth on click — identify any component in a single click

NAV MODE
Nav Mode
Fly through your model with precision.
Take full control of the camera. Fly around, through, and inside your model at adjustable speeds. No more fighting SketchUp's orbit — go exactly where you need to look.
Free-flight camera — fly in any direction, dive into tight framing cavities, inspect roof assemblies from inside — places SketchUp's default orbit can't reach
Variable speed — scroll to adjust on the fly, from a slow crawl for inspecting connections to full speed for crossing the site
Stay oriented — axis gizmo and crosshair keep you grounded inside complex assemblies where it's easy to get turned around

Hyper Parse
Catch what the main scan missed.
Re-scans visible objects that slipped through the initial parse — like those "Generic Model 13432" components that architects love to leave unnamed. Group them by name, material color, or geometry and batch-assign categories.
Multiple parse methods — group uncategorized items by display name, material color, volume, face profile, or face angle to find patterns the main scanner couldn't
Visual preview — highlight any group in the viewport to see exactly which components you're about to categorize before committing
Batch commit — select groups, pick a category and subcategory, and commit hundreds of components at once
ELEVATION REFERENCE
Elevation Reference
Set a datum. Tag everything from it.
Pick any flat surface as your reference plane — a subfloor, slab, or grade — assign it a known elevation, then tag any point in the model to get its height relative to that datum. Feet, inches, fractions — no math required.
One-click datum — select a flat plane like a subfloor or slab, type the known elevation (e.g. 100'-0"), and it becomes your reference for the entire model
Tag any point — click the top of a steel beam, bottom of a joist, ridge line — instantly see its elevation in feet and fractional inches
No mental math — SketchUp has no elevation references, so without this you're measuring, converting, and calculating offsets by hand
