        Is that Irony or Coincidence or both that your ISP is VirginBroadband?

          Just Coincidence as far as I am aware. Although one never knows for sure, life is a "mystery".
          You will have to blame Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson for the name, clever marketing I think.

            The autocad files looks as though this will go much more quickly than I had thought... Hard to resist imported autocad files in sketchup.

              Hi facer,

              I imported the CAD drawing, cleaned up and made ​​faces. That should be the first step.

                Good to see you are "keen to go". Before anyone goes any further please wait until I
                tidy up the plan a little. Nothing too major but it will reflect the current layout.
                I am now in the process of:

                1. removing confessionals that are not in use
                2. updating the furniture layout
                3. adding the new glass entry wall
                4. setting out a logical grid for reference.

                When I complete the first two items above I will update the DropBox SketchUp plan
                and also post to the forum.

                Charly would it not be better to keep all the plans in one location as the Dropbox.
                I can see the advantage of posting to the forum as it gives a "window" into the process.
                I think your process is a good one as it enrolls and motivates SketchUcation members to get
                involved.

                I think it best in future that I first receive a copy of the plan or assembly first and
                then OK it for issue. This will ensure that everyone is "singing from the same page".

                Good work, thank you for your effort.

                    I'm also not religious but find the architecture of churches very interesting and enlightening... The older the better.

                          Dave,
                          Some of you are getting ahead the rest of us but I have to agree it is "fun" to see the building rise up. Like the great church builders of the middle ages found a good result takes time.

                          I have upload extensive photos of the South Elevation Gr Floor level which is my primary focus.
                          This is the elevation that will be the next phase of the stone restoration work.
                          Currently the church is raising funds for this stage and I am hoping to use the
                          SketchUp model to assist in this fund raising endeavor.

                          (note the estimate of $1500 - $2500 approx (Aust) per sq. metre for straight walling - expensive due to the detail of the work plus factors as scaffolding, hoists etc.)

                          FOLDER: St. Mary pics - Elevation South Gr Fl
                          These will be followed with the Top level photos of the windows.

                          I should clarify that I am receiving no commercial remuneration from this exercise.
                          I am not a Christian and have no direct relation with the church. My office is
                          5 minutes walking distance away. For the past 20 years I have "used" their church
                          as my private meditation hall. I pick the right times when it is almost empty and hence perfect for contemplation and I know of no other building as calm and refreshing.

                          They have an "enormous task" ahead of them so I thought I would give a little back.
                          If the SketchUp model can assist their efforts I will be satisfied.
                          I appreciate the assistance being offered by the SkethUcation community and I am interested to see where this "journey" will lead. I should also confess that I am a Canadian, not an Aussie.

                          Cheers,
                          Ray

                            To all,
                            Dropbox is now available. There are extensive pictures internal and external:
                            https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cqer0p46144ksi2/FrFViA_-z6

                            The church had full dwg drawings including sections undertaken in the past using
                            photogrammetrics. As soon as the full set of drawings have been received they will be updated
                            to the DropBox.

                            Note the dwg elevation drawings are accurate and have precedence over the
                            drawn plan. The plan was prepared independently of the photogrammetric process by the architects.

                              West elevation photos have also been uploaded to the Dropbox, this completes the
                              full interior and external photographic overview. Photos of church details will
                              be taken and uploaded as the model evolves.

                                  St. Mary update 20 June 2015

                                  The external model of St. Mary Star of the Sea has been completed
                                  by the dedication of David Asher of Windsor Ontario, Canada.

                                  A SketchFab "entry Section" can be viewed at:

                                  The materials and white lines are not what we want but at present I am
                                  not sure of how to improve of the original SketchUp model

                                  We are currently working on preparing "audio clips" that can be integrated into
                                  the St. Mary 3d Virtual Model shown in SketchFab. This has been aided by the
                                  generous donation of a Nagra-Pico by Nagra.

                                  Our marketing stragegy for generating donations for the Restoration works at St. Mary Star of the Sea are:

                                    a. Complete a good 3d model on SketchFab that will lend itself to VR (virtual reality) cardboard viewers.
                                  
                                    b. Have a liminted number of "audio clips" (eg. Entry doors, Stained glass on Entry Elevation,
                                        and North Elevation - the renovated elevations that have street views.)
                                  
                                    c. Have some test "coffee chats" at Josies on Wednesday (good backroom) or in
                                        in the Crypt under St. Mary.  These sessions would demonstrate the use
                                        SketchUp on a laptop and SketchFab VR on an i-phone. 
                                  
                                    d. Once the "bugs" have been ironed out and delivery is "smooth" 
                                       we hope to get local newspaper and radio spots to discuss the project.
                                  

                                  Thank you everyone to date for your comments and suggestions.
