American Manufacturers Sketchup Files

[Elibjr]

For anyone who designs and uses the English Imperial Unit scale.

I sure most of you who are in the design field in the U.S. know about Sweets Catalog. If not, they are a visual collection of current maunufacturer's product information that is used for specifying in buildings in that year. Well, they have a page on their website dedicated to SketchUp users. There are currently 76 maunufacturers on it. The site features models as well as material finishes depending on the maufacturer. I like this site because I don't have to resize the model upon import. I still would not download the files directly into your models because they may need to be clean up as some may have extra layers it it. The models are free, however; they do require you to sign up before you can download your models. I like using this site since they are based on manufcturer's products that we already specify. I hope this is helpful to anyone.
