Here's our page showing how we use SketchUp in construction drawings

You're telling me that even those elevations are straight out of SU?! That's very impressive work.
What about the detail in the bottom left corner? That's not from SU is it? If so how did you manage to do that hatch pattern?
Do tell us more...
cheers

Very nice indeed, I was also wondering if the details were done in SU, what about the hatching, is it just line work, also was this done in layout or were the images exported from SU into something else? IMO that's what SU is missing, a good workflow for construction drawings, if layout ever gets out of beta then maybe. SU would really be an all around package then, design, modeling,renderings(via plugins), and CDs.

Nice drawings! I just registered a few minutes ago and was browsing the forum and I discovered your drawings. This is the main reason for my interest in SketchUp. Im a carpenter in WV and I've found you can get your idea(s) across to the home owner if you have something tangible to show them. Again, nice drawings.

Looks great.
But come-on AL66 don't keep us guessing.
What is it? Cad and Sketchup combined. To me the elevations look like 2d cad drawings. The details also look like the same thing. Please don't tease us like this, let us know.

Looks like you've exported the perspectives and elevations as dwg and then added hatches?

Al66, that is fantastic. You must get a ton of ooo's and aaa's from your clients.
Rascal, your signature is appropriate for your work

Rascal,
What I want to comment (excellent!) and want to ask about your posted work have been done already. So I think reply is in order
.Your signature prompted me to look up the passage. So, did you pick it because
- It is related to your line of work, as mentioned by Boo above, or
- There are/is other reason(s) unrelated to your line of work?
Just curious.

i'd guess it is sketchup, as perspectives have shadows, and to my knowledge in autocad you would have to render it to get the shadows, thus loose the hatch pattern. pretty easy to make su materials from an autocad hatch pattern, though. export from autocad your desired hatch pattern as a jpg --> open jpg in ps and crop --> import into su as a material.
did attached drawing as described in su - use of hatch patterns to show what can be done not neccessarily what you should do

Good technique canoek, I've never thought to do that.
