    Well this certainly looks exactly like what I could do with when I first read about it some time back.
    I even signed up to the mailing list HOWEVER have not received any updates on this book's progress or expected release date or pricing.

    Numerous people have also asked in this forum on how 'is it going?'

    Please provide a progress report and expected timeline to release via this forum.

    [highlight=#ffffbf:35ja0epa]Thanks[/highlight:35ja0epa]

      Hi Paul, my apologies.

      We are a little behind, which is my fault. Running an architectural business and writing a book at the same time has been more time consuming than I expected. Trimble came to my office last month to do some follow-up videos, so hopefully this will ease the wait a little. The book will go into a lot of detail on these processes, as well as provide one of my house models to follow along or dissect as you feel necessary. Without Matt, this wouldn't even happen!
      Here's a link to the new video series...much more in depth than the last ones:

          i have a question, you mention in one video that if you have the scrapbook linked to your own drawings, the size of the file would be increased or just the computer would run slower ???

          Thanks

            Sorry, we did those videos mostly in one take. The amount of scrapbooks folders accessed can slow the program down. It should have no impact on file size. This is only true for scrapbooks that contain Sketchup model references like my detail scrapbooks.

              Thanks for the opportunity to request a feature in the anticipated book.
              I'd like to learn about the possibilities for 'smart tags' in view labels. The little referenced balloons that indicate where a section view may be found. I'm sure they could be automated to some extent.

                Nick I sat and watched the whole set of your videos last night. They are an excellent reference and would just like to thank you for sharing them, I picked up quite a few new pointers along the way. Cant wait for your book!

                  First post. Nick, fantastic videos and you are an inspiration. I am puzzled about something though, your dimensioning style. I've never seen anything like it. But I see the advantages immediately. Is this your own invention, or something you learned at RISD? I'm used to dimensioning to structural grid lines for columns and such, but you seem to have a system of reference grid lines tied to key jogs in your buildings. Then I suppose you tie intermediate dimensions within those where need in the plan. Certainly makes the drawings look very clean. No more stacked dimension lines around the perimeter (I've had them 5 deep at times). Just curious about that. Can't wait for the book. My wife is getting tired of listening to you in bed while I watch and rewatch the videos on my Kindle...

                      OK, there is a dirty joke in there somewhere......LOL.

                      Seriously though, thanks. The grid lines are a standard I've learned over the years. It is very common in the commercial industry to grid all corners and structural points of a building to a grid system. It makes phone and email discussions very easy to comprehend.

                            Fall technically started in the US (where the authors are based) on September 23. Fall ends on December 21. We will need Mr. Sonder to confirm, but reading into his response of THIS Fall, it would seem to imply the year 2015 of the Gregorian calendar.

                              so, basically, if we hit Christmas and no release then it's tough...

                                  I can imagine how much time and effort this endeavour must take and am willing to wait. Good things take time.
                                  Thank you Matt and Nick for starting this project. Having purchased Matt's first book and the videos I am sure the next one will be great.

                                          We would like to know if they are, and if they are will it be the same as the videos that we have all been seeing or will it be presenting the finished book?
