      This makes for interesting reading. Thanks Pete, for kicking it off. And YES, we are working on something that may be of interest in this line of work. I will say no more until its in, at least a Beta form.

        wish that after you extrude the floor plan that there was a way to "project" the linework elevation onto the sides of the building. Mabee drape could work????

        galbavy, if your elevations are actual su lines/faces, it must be possible to select all the window and door outlines and moving them across (with axis lock) place them on the appropriate wall?

        what was the method you read about earlier?

                Hi Pete,

                As I have just been told that I will be made redundant on the 10th July I have to ask you to add my name to the list.

                See some samples of a site plan I produced for my (ex)employer.

                Also if anyone wants additional tips about using SketchUp with CAD drawings visit: http://www.go-2-school.com/media/view/251
                There are a number of clips with good advice.

                Regards
                Mr S

                  Another name for your list. Quite a small army assembling - between us we could take on the world!

                  These examples were all developed in Sketchup based on DWG drawings.

                    Although what they'll do then, I'm not yet sure.

                        this is definitely quite the list.. i might just have to utilize it too, if no one minds.

                        and for the record, i too like modelling from plans/elevations...not sure why, but it can be 'fun'... its probably a good chunk of my workload, too.
