How it works

One workflow. From model to production data.

Different tools, the same four steps — inside SketchUp, from start to finish.

01 · Model

Start from your normal SketchUp geometry.

02 · Automate

Choose real AV products and let Dseconds build the repetitive geometry.

03 · Verify

See dimensions, counts, weights, coverage and catalogue data as you design.

04 · Export

Generate BOMs and production data for the next step of the project.

Different tools. The same workflow. Less repetitive drafting.

WHY WE BUILT THIS

Why Dseconds Exists

AVL production runs on repetition.
The same LED walls drawn cabinet by cabinet. The same truss segments placed one by one. The same bill of materials compiled by hand — project after project.

Hours of technical drafting are spent recreating information that already exists.

Dseconds was built by AVL professionals who got tired of rebuilding the same geometry from scratch every time. The technical groundwork — cabinet counts, segment lengths, product codes, weights, quantities — should take seconds, not hours.

Our tools handle the repetitive work so you can focus on what actually requires your expertise: the design, the client, the show.

Built for workflows SketchUp was never designed to handle. Until now.

Roadmap

A complete AV workflow ecosystem.

Coming next

  • Expanded manufacturer databases
  • Media server export workflows
  • Stage design workflows
  • Advanced production exports

Scope and focus

The first roadmap focuses on LED, truss, projection and stage workflows. Lighting, staging and audio will come as separate plugins or new Suites, not inside the current three.

Built by industry professionals from within the live events and AV production sector — not a generic software tool.

Frequently asked questions.

Quick answers before you start. For plugin-specific questions visit each plugin page.

Do I need a specific version of SketchUp?
All Dseconds plugins require SketchUp 2024 or later. Earlier versions are not supported. Tested on SketchUp 2027 (released October 2026) on Windows. SketchUp Pro is not required.
How do I install the plugins?
Download the .rbz file and install via Extensions → Extension Manager → Install Extension in SketchUp. No restart required.
Which products are available today?
All three plugins are available for download today: LED Wall Designer 3.1.3, Truss Designer 4.7.4 and Projector Designer 1.4.2. Each is a single unified download that runs in Free mode and unlocks PRO with a licence key. LED Wall Designer PRO, Truss Designer PRO and Projector Designer PRO can be purchased now at Founder launch pricing, and so can the Dseconds Suite — one licence key for all three PRO plugins, Personal (1 computer) or Corporate (4 computers).
Can I try the plugins for free?
Yes. Every plugin has a free version with no time limit and no credit card required. For LED Wall Designer, the free download is the complete plugin running in Free mode — you can evaluate the full workflow before buying.
Do I need a separate download for PRO? (LED Wall Designer)
No — if you use the unified 3.0.0 release or a later compatible release. There is one download: the plugin runs in Free mode without a license, and entering a valid PRO license key unlocks the full PRO feature set instantly, with no reinstall. Note: Free versions older than 3.0.0 do not support PRO licensing — see the migration questions below.
Can I use my PRO license with an older Free version?
No. PRO licensing is supported by the unified 3.0.0 release and later compatible releases. Free versions older than 3.0.0 cannot be unlocked with a license key — they must be removed and replaced with the new unified version.
I already have an older Free version. What should I do?
Uninstall the old version from SketchUp (Extensions → Extension Manager), download the unified 3.1.3 release, install it via Extensions → Extension Manager → Install Extension, then enter and activate your PRO license from the plugin's License panel. This is a one-time migration — it is only needed when coming from versions older than 3.0.0.
Will I need to reinstall the plugin for future updates?
From version 3.0.0 onward, future compatible updates are designed to be installed without first uninstalling the current version. The one-time uninstall/reinstall is only required when migrating from versions older than 3.0.0.
How do I activate my PRO license?
After purchase, LemonSqueezy emails you a license key. In SketchUp, open the plugin's License dialog, paste the key and click Activate (an internet connection is required for activation). PRO features unlock immediately — no restart, no reinstall.
What happens if I deactivate or cancel my license?
The plugin simply returns to Free mode. Your SketchUp models and all existing wall, truss and projector data stay intact (Projector Designer keeps PRO-made projectors, including custom projectors, visible and read-only in Free mode). Each license covers one active machine at a time, so deactivating on one computer frees the license for activation on another. If you cancel your subscription, access continues until the end of the current billing period.
What is the difference between FREE and PRO?
Free versions give you the full plugin workflow with a limited product selection so you can evaluate before committing. PRO unlocks the complete manufacturer database, advanced export and production BOM. For LED Wall Designer, the free download is the complete plugin running in Free mode — a PRO license key unlocks it instantly. For Projector Designer, Free places one projector per model on two catalogue models with real lens data, including the checkerboard grid; PRO adds the full 34-model, 106-lens catalogue, unlimited and custom projectors, Preview/Good quality, native-resolution PNG export, BOM and projector placement data, the HTML report, world-frame coordinates and your client logo. Each plugin page has a detailed FREE vs PRO comparison.
Can I use the plugins on both Windows and Mac?
Yes. The plugins run on both platforms wherever SketchUp Pro is supported. Development and testing is primarily on Windows; Mac compatibility is maintained.
How is billing handled?
Subscriptions are annual and processed by LemonSqueezy, our Merchant of Record. They handle all payments, invoicing and VAT compliance worldwide, and you receive a proper invoice after every payment. Your subscription renews automatically each year at your locked-in price, and you can cancel anytime from the LemonSqueezy customer portal. Prices shown exclude applicable VAT and taxes. Final taxes are calculated at checkout based on your billing location.
How do I buy Projector Designer PRO?
Projector Designer PRO is available now at the Founder price of $99/year (regular price $129/year, USD). Click Get PRO on the Projector page and check out via LemonSqueezy; your licence key arrives by email. Install the free download, open Extensions → Dseconds Projector Designer → License / Activation…, paste the key and click Activate. Each licence has one activation (one active machine at a time).
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, at any time from your LemonSqueezy customer portal. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
What is included in my subscription, and what is an add-on?
Included, at no extra cost: everything that improves what the plugin already does — new catalogue models and manufacturers, new product types inside the same workflow, new layout and placement tools, fixes, interface and performance improvements, new export formats and test patterns / still-image grids. Future improvements — for example curved and mixed straight/curved truss runs, or flexible LED — will be included when they ship.

Add-ons, priced separately: new workflows that are products in their own right and usually work across several plugins — for example, video content playback inside SketchUp (for LED and projection), natural-language editing of your drawing, and advanced multi-plugin production reports. New disciplines (lighting, staging, audio) will also come as separate plugins or new Suites.

Founder customers keep their price on what they already own and get a dedicated offer on add-ons. If your subscription lapses and you subscribe again later, the standard price applies.
How long is the Founder price available?
Founder prices (USD, per year): LED Wall Designer PRO $99 (regular $149), Truss Designer PRO $89 (regular $129), Projector Designer PRO $99 (regular $129). Founder prices are available only during the Founder launch period. Your Founder price stays the same for as long as your subscription stays active — every improvement to your plugin included. New products and add-ons are priced separately, and Founder customers get a dedicated offer on them. If your subscription lapses and you subscribe again later, the standard price applies. The same applies to the Dseconds Suite (Personal $199, Corporate $599 founder per year).
