Step 1
Model in SketchUp
Create your building in your usual environment and organise the elements required for energy analysis.
- Building geometry
- Spaces and thermal zones
A simplified workflow
From SketchUp to thermal calculation in three steps
LesoLink supports the preparation, checking and use of technical data from your model.
Step 2
Check the data
LesoLink analyses the model structure and helps identify missing or inconsistent information.
- Consistency checking
- Structured technical data
Step 3
Prepare thermal calculation
Use the prepared data in your thermal calculation software and reduce manual re-entry.
- Less manual re-entry
- A more reliable process
Digital continuity
Keep control of your data, from model to calculation.
LesoLink creates a structured bridge between SketchUp modelling and the needs of building thermal professionals.
Real demonstration
A complete workflow, visible directly inside SketchUp.
LesoLink supports the project from the 3D model through quality control to the automatic generation of the energy BIM report.
01 · Source model
The building remains modelled in SketchUp.
The plugin integrates into the SketchUp environment and uses the existing model as the working basis.
02 · Project palette
Spaces, surfaces, volumes and envelope.
Key data is grouped in a clear palette that can be used while preparing the report.
03 · Quality control
BIM diagnosis before export.
The Quality Center highlights anomalies, their impact and recommended corrections.
04 · Generation
PDF report creation.
LesoLink automatically prepares presentation models and project deliverables.
05 · Legend
Visible and checked typologies.
Surface categories are visually identified to make model checking easier.
06 · A3 plans
Facades, views, legends and project information.
Model views are laid out to create a clear report that can be shared.
07 · A4 summary
Surfaces, volumes and tables ready to check.
The main information is grouped into a readable summary to speed up checking.
Result
The model is checked, documented and prepared to reduce manual re-entry in professional energy analysis software.
From SketchUp to thermal calculation, without breaking your data flow.
LesoLink automates model preparation, secures technical information and generates the deliverables required for your energy study.
