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.

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:

This fall!

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. -
happy New Year all! How's this coming along?

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?

Yes, Matt and I are Presenting the book and the basic elements found inside. We are burning the midnight oil trying to have it all wrapped up for basecamp. We are also doing a bootcamp session.
My apologies for underestimating the time required to do this. And don't worry, lots of pictures!

Excellent set of books! I will be using "SketchUP to LayOut" as one of the primary textbooks for a class am I teaching this fall. Great work to but Matt and Nick.....Mick
