Hey Peter, this is an apt topic for me right now because I'm finally doing just that!!

I have started filing my SKMs that I use most on Dropbox under a Resource folder so I can access them from home or work; also for my work colleague so we always have the latest set of materials [thinking about a core library or components as well but just need to make sure they're clean and not too big file size....

A SKM viewer would be good, actually a SKP viewer would be nice too; I'm using a 64bit machine!! 😠

And yes, I have cleaned out the standard range of roof tiles, sketchy materials, etc that came with SU3....
👍

Thanks man! Very nice!! 😄

Hi, Paul. Thanks for this.
May I add some comments that I hope are helpful. Of course, you may already know this: In the US, a lot of brickwork is done with the modular face brick. This is a brick 2 1/4" x 3 5/8" x 7 5/8", nominally 2x4x8. Using 3/8" standard joint thickness, 3 bricks and 3 joints is 8" vertical. Horizontally, you can lay out a wall and plan your openings on 8" multiples. And using this mnemonic: 8", Odd+4", Even, Even+8". Odd+4 would be like 1 foot, 4 inches, or 3 feet, 4 inches. Even would be like 2 feet, and Even+8 would be like 2 feet, 8 inches.

Using your idea, I've done something similar for UK bricks, forum post here.

Thanks for the insperation.

Here's a tutorial on how I made the floor in SketchUp.
