LOL - I'm just doing my best to keep my head above water with SketchUp and Revit.
Pete's really the star in the area!

Thanks though.

LOL - Thanks Rich! I was wondering if I wasn't welcome when it wouldn't let me log in from a thread...went to the main page and it was happy with me.

Really great! I wish I had the talent/skill to do stuff like this.

How long does it take to draw models like this and what tools/plugins do you use?

It's a constant tweaking for 2-3 months for most of these. We typically meet with the client every 2 weeks during Schematics and update the exterior/interior model as we go. I use the royal we, but I'm doing the SketchUp and presentations.
I've been taking on more and more responsibilities over the design direction with each project.

I've been using minimal plugins, but Windowizer gets reinstalled with every upgrade. I rely on that heavily for quick designwork.
Was an early adopter of Lumion starting at Lumion v1..we still carry a copy of that. I utilize Thea Render when I want really good looking stills and know we aren't going to do a fly around. I finally caved in and started to use Enscape on these last few projects because another Architect we were working with wanted to match interior/exterior feel.
