      Hi my name is Ramzez

      Just got myself Sketchup Pro 8

      While researching bale house construction and reciprocal roof designs, I saw a youtube video demonstrating reciprocal roofs using Sketchup. I thought it was pretty cool.

      I am in the process to move to Costa Rica where I wish to build low cost housing with local materials.

      I am very good with computers and working with my hands. Sketchup seems to be the perfect design tool.

        Welcome Ramzez
        Thanks for the introduction to the reciprocal roof. I was unfamiliar with its name, though I have seen images of it before. Really quite beautiful.
        Are you thinking straw bale and cob for your projects?
        Keep us posted on the roof model in SketchUp.

        Just monkeying around....like Monsanto

          Welcome Ramzez,

          I look forward to seeing some interesting projects. I wonder what materials would be used in Costa Rica? Straw is probably less abundant but they do have animals, so there must be something 😄. Not needing insulation as much as ventilation at lower altitudes.

          Don't forget a good resource: recycle. I lived in Hawaii and perhaps the most green (and durable) materials we used were old cane shack vertical grain Douglas fir and old water tank redwood. We also had bamboo.

          Good luck,
          Peter

            Hi, assuming your moving to Costa Rica I guess it is safe to say that symbol is not what I first thought. Anyways Welcome!

                Je ne pense pas que l'endroit soit bien choisit pour promouvoir le mouvement raelien.

                  Welcome.
                  SCF IS a very liberal forum.
                  It is dedicated to all things related to SketchUp...
                  Plus some 'silliness' in the Corner-bar now and again.

                  We will welcome anything you show us relating to your use of SketchUp, and even the more obtuse construction techniques like bales, roofs etc...
                  We will also try to help you to achieve these goals...

                  But please be aware that extreme view points or protracted polemic will not be tolerated by Moderators in any of the open forums - so don't get dragged into debates on Raelism, or for that matter any 'extreme-views' - no matter how 'true' they might seem to you - like Atheism, Christianity, Islam, Creationism or a hundred and one other things that others will ultimately take issue against - whilst these ideas might be central to ones life they are not suitable fodder for debate here at SCF... there are many other places where these can be freely aired and argued ad nauseam...

                  My preemptive warning-shot over your bows is now completed...
                  It's no every day that a Raelian joins SCF so openly - so I at least welcome your candor about that.

                  So, I hope you will become a useful member of this community; and give and learn in equal measure. 😄

                  **Bienvenue.

                  SCF est un forum très libérale.
                  C'est dédié à toutes les choses liées à SketchUp...
                  Plus quelques «bêtise» dans le coin-bar de temps en temps.

                  Nous accueillerons tout ce que vous nous montrer relatives à votre utilisation de SketchUp, et même les techniques de construction plus obtus comme ballots de paille, toits, etc ..
                  Nous allons aussi essayer de vous aider à atteindre ces objectifs ...

                  Mais s'il vous plaît soyez conscient que les points de vue extrêmes ou prolongées polémique ne sera pas toléré par les modérateurs dans l'un des forums ouverts - il ne faut pas se laisser entraîner dans des débats sur Raelism, ni d'ailleurs aucune «extrême-vues» - peu importe comment «vrai» qu'il n'y paraît à vous - comme l'athéisme, christianisme, islam, le créationnisme ou mille et une autres choses que d'autres finiront par prendre contre le problème - bien que ces idées pourraient être au cœur de la vie ne sont pas celles du fourrage approprié pour un débat ici au SCF ... il ya beaucoup d'autres endroits où ceux-ci peuvent être librement diffusés et ont fait valoir ad nauseam ...

                  Mon avertissement préventif coup sur la proue de votre bateau est maintenant terminée ...
                  Ce n'est pas tous les jours qu'un Raëlien se joint à SCF aussi ouvertement - je au moins accueillir votre franchise à ce sujet.

                  Donc, j'espère que vous allez devenir un membre utile de cette communauté, et de fournir et d'apprendre dans une égale mesure.**
