New Bungalow
-
This is a model I created in SketchUp to show a client proposed views of a new bungalow. I tried so hard to do this in LayOut, but a few problems later I gave up. So I exported each view from SketchUp as a 2D graphic, then imported them into AutoCAD as a raster image, then created a layout/view ports for each image and the end result is what you see here.
This "View" is going to be submitted to the local authority along with full plans of the bungalow "Done with AutoCAD" The house is a bit basic, but because of local planning restraints and a small plot this is what I came up with.

Nice work, fingers crossed it gets through planning

Nice presentaion, but I would delete the gray fence on the elevation views - they block too much of the house, which is what you really want to showcase, isn't it? Besides, the fence is illustated well enough in the perspective views.

Nice model Gaz. I'm suprised to see that the model uses Scottish construction methods; ie rebated windows instead of the typical English method of windows flush with the external wall face & mastic seal. Looking at your location however, you are only down the road(so to speak!) and the weather I imagine is pretty much as wild as it is up here. Is this a common aspect in buildings near you?

For an architect, using AutoCad as a precise layout tool could be handy, but I have found out that the colour raster output from ACAD is crappy compared to a layout tool like InDesign. I haven't tried it from the latest version yet, though. Nice presentation, Gaz.

Daniel,
The elevations "fence" views are more for the local Authority. They show the proposed boundary heights in relation to the property and neighbouring properties.

DzineTech,
All windows in the UK that I have ever been involved with are rebated slightly from the front face of external leaf "30mm" With 100mm external leaf, and window profiles now 70mm the inside edge/back of the window is flush with the inside edge of the external leaf. Are you thinking about the old Box Sash's? they where located on the back of the external leaf "100mm rebate" on them old things....

Anssi,
This is the first time I have done such a thing as combining SketchUp with Acad, so not up to speed on other products/exporters etc.
For a "descent result" I "publish" the layouts from ACAD to a DWF file, then I PDF from the DWF file. Much better quality & much smaller file size too...
