3D PHP

A PoC extension that models a PHP runtime in 3D with SketchUp.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1+
• SketchUp C API
• macOS (The SketchUp C API only supports Windows and macOS)

Installation

Download and extract the SketchUp C API and copy the SketchUpAPI framework to your local Frameworks directory.

$ mkdir -p ~/Library/Frameworks
$ cp -r /path/to/sketchup-sdk/SketchUpAPI.framework ~/Library/Frameworks

Install the extension.

$ phpize; \
  ./configure --enable-3d \
  make; \
  make test; \
  make install;

If you installed the SketchUpAPI framework in a non-standard path, you can specify the frameworks directory with --with-sketchup-api=/path/to/frameworks/dir.

Usage

Once the extension is enabled, make a request with INI setting php_3d.generate_model=1. This will generate a SketchUp file with a 3D model of the request's runtime. Open the .skp file with SketchUp and enjoy the 3D PHP experience.
