StageHex for SketchUp Grows Bigger

The StageHex extension for SketchUp has continued to grow in capability, offering a more mature implementation for GDTF (General Device Type Format) and MVR (My Virtual Rig) import and export. The plugin integrates deeply with SketchUp, enabling designers to use a professional library of trusses, lighting fixtures, platforms, audio/video equipment, and other technical elements directly in their models. It supports export of production-ready data to consoles and visualizers such as grandMA2, grandMA3, Depence, and other 3D formats without manual intermediate conversions.
