Why I don't post my work.
-
I have a few reasons why I have not been posting my work...
- none of it is ever "done"
- I'm not into showing off, I want to bring attention to all you much more talented Su'ers
- I have been entirely consumed with posting answers here and helping out others...
- I'm shy about my errors and things I would fix but don't have time too...
- how can I compete with you masters...
but I will post more... I unloaded a few today but I have tons more...
some of what you see is old, from my first days on SU... I wanted everyone to see we all start somewhere... and then we progress further and further...
I would also like to say that none of this work would be near what it is with out the people from both the old forum and this new one... I learn something new here every day... and I'm so thankful for it...

These recent posts of your work are very interesting, Kris. I'm a little overwhelmed, trying to make sure I see them all.
Could you explain how these relate to your work? I know you do custom homes (I'm assuming its "design-build," in architect's terminology). How do these models fit into the process, if you don't mind me asking? Do you make the models (and the renderings) from construction drawings you have already worked out, or do you first make the model and use it to demonstrate your design ideas to the client prior to committing them to plan?

(P.S. I'm not going to let my wife see any of these...she'll just want to ditch this antique monster I rehabbed ten years ago and move into a Krisidious Special.)

I actually now use the SU model to start my autocad drawings... I model in real sized, and thicknesses of walls and such. if you download my template from the "How A Pro Builds a House in SU" tutorials in the Tut section. you'll see I have about 10 scenes that I use to export DWGs elevation Front, Rear, Left, Right, Section North to SOuth, East to West, Floor Plan I, Floor Plan II, Floor Plan III... then I take those plain dwgs and start dimensioning and noting them.
I also use them to Wow clients and allow them to live in the house for a few days before moving on to the next phase. Sketch to SU Prelim, SU Prelim to Construction Docs.
I have not built as the "builder" anything residential... that is my ultimate goal, to build mine and my mothers designs
I have been the project manager of several commercial projects Bass Pro in Las Vegas is one of them, Bass Pro in Myrtle Beach SC is another, a few popular stores in malls across the USA, Addias, Tommy, Chica Fila... etc.
and a carpenter on quite a few residences in my earlier career.
I'm very pleased that you enjoy them... some clients tend to dumby them down, and square them up... which is the point I normally tell them to take a leap... lol
