wot's your normal monicker ???? I don't follow
I work at building organisation that create 3d models of floorplans from the architects. We sort out the details of making the design work with timber, then press a button and guys on the floor make the frames and trusses from our 3d design.
We use the Mitek based system for the bulk of our work - Engineering the trusses and so forth. However sketchup is becoming an ever increasing useful tool. Most of the detailers/draughters have had a crash course in what I know. But I am also about to begin studying architecture part time.
Today I used sketchup to provide a 3d model of a "flitch beam - steel and timber) to masonary beam hangar. The ability to do this infront of a client in less than 5mins certainly adds to a wow factor.
My next part time project is to design a cheap 'golf hut' for our local golf course.
Sorry to wah on but very happy to live in the Mount, I think it is one of the nicest places in the world to visit let alone live.
