It has promise, reminds me of places like the Tate modern gallery etc, definitely looking like you should finish it.

Thank you,there are a few areas where I am not happy yet but I will remake those.

Thanks John, much appreciated.

I am still impressed

Very interesting use of a limited amount of property space. 👍

Thank you Daniel, I owe it to your teachings oh great one. not only is there a need for privacy but the wall on the right of the house needs to be a sound barrier, the neighbor has several dogs that yap day and night.

I've a few neighbors like that - their dogs bark constantly the minute they see me or anyone else, and they don't stop!

Your house also reminds me of the very first project in architecture school (also a house) which was on a lot bounded on three sides by 10' walls - the professor didn't want us to worry about context. I turned mine into a giant aquarium with part of the house under water.

"great one" - I like that.

Gorgeous!

Finally, here's the finished product!

.dae can't b uploaded but if you zip it you can upload the zip file.

Nice work so far. Long journey ahead! It is a beautiful building inside and out.

Lisa, Making mistakes is part of the learning process so don't let it get you down. I made plenty of mistakes early on, heck I still do. The mistakes just aren't as bad or as often as when I first started. Soldier on and try new things and don't worry about making an error. That's why SU has an eraser tool 😆 .

Thank you for your kind words 😄 Nice to see that even professionals still mess up 'cause I've been struggling a lot with SketchUp. I try to keep getting better at it, though. 👍

Thanks Bryan, there are some things I am still not happy about, like the APC which has changed a few times too. Someday I will settle on an iteration.

The most recent Corona for Sketchup version may be grabbed here:

The anticipation is killing me!

That's looking really good!

Have to check it out. Never got into that stuff.

Well, this will be it for this project. The file size has gotten too big for my current computer, but I've accomplished what I wanted, which was to finalize and present another of my designs from the last century.

When I get a new computer, I'll complete it.

It feels so weird saying "last century." 💚

Hey Liam, how's the process going?
Nowadays i'm trying to figure out more or less the same workflow for architectural visualizations but no luck. How do you overcome UV/Light mapping issue inside UE4? That would be great if you could share your experiences in a tutorial like content.

The sketchup export was quite easy and solved at the start, I am only making geometry in SU and was unwrapping in Blender as it was easier. Most of the time until now has been learning UE4 from scratch whenever I have time. I am hoping to post some detailed guides in May and will be sure to let you know.

The suburb our ranch house was in had about 4 or five house designs, but even though you could recognize the design, no two were alike. The developer changed each one - they were mirrored, the brick/siding was changed, windows, etc. Nowadays they really are identical cookie cutter houses.

Going away for a while. I cannot reconcile the inability to create simple shapes with any kind of intelligent programming. Done for now.

I am finding it impossible to make flat armour plate with depth (Extrusion) without corrupt faces everywhere. If it is impossible to do this how cane the product be considered mature and usable? I have decided to invest in Rhino and while I admit it too cannot be perfect I cannot see HOW it can be possible to make flat armour plate, extrude it and have it become unusable or corrupt.

Thanks Mike and pbacot.

This will be a bare bones model. It's made for others to easily modify as they need.

It is now complete and available for download in the main gallery page. 👍

And I did it all while standing on my head with both eyes tied behind my back. 😄
and swigging down a nice green pint. 💚

Ta mate, I was measuring my new gaff today and it is less than half the size of this place but with my old cat not being on top form, there is less floor space for him to hide his "Movements"
