Decorative brickwork?

[shokan]

For a Victorian brick house facade, there are bricks placed in an arch formation over windows, and also designs made where a few bricks are set slightly forward of the surrounding brick wall as well as some designs where a few bricks are inset a little to create a design. How detailed can Sketchup get with something like this?

Here's a photo of the kind of stuff I'd like to try.

I wonder what book or online thing covers the advanced level a building like this entails, in terms of Sketchup's tools. I'd be looking into plugins, too. I've already bought smustard's boolean plugin ($10).

Hi Shokan,

Have a look at this tutorial I also made for texturing arches:

Here is an image I made with this technique (the texture has been improved ever since and of courase, this is not Victorian but Ancient Roman but the idea is the same):
