Mike,

Did you ever solve your Hardie Panel texture issues?

I also need some Hardie Panel textures, plus some Hardie Panel Vertical Siding SKP models for our solar cabin design projects.

Any suggestions for us?

Regards,

Alan

This sounds like just the tool I'm looking for. I'm a member of an online group of 16 different families who are each designing & building their own tiny homes. As a senior computer consultant with tons of application software experience, I have volunteered to research the best way to use Google Sketchup 2016 and desired plugins to design & build a custom tiny house. As I envision these tasks at the present, I see the need to assign custom attributes to dynamic components of standard building materials, which would include attributes like itemcode, mfr product id, unit density, calculated weight, price, etc. Then use your attribute reporting extension to create custom reports that would list & total up the weight of all components used in a model, plus create a cut list report, component/group fabrication report, labels for fabricated components/groups, a cost analysis report, and other useful custom reports. Creating simple guidelines and procedures that most diy tiny house builders could follow will be a huge challenge for me, but I'd like to help the tiny house movement to grow, as well as design/build my own small solar cabin. I would sure love to be able to ask you questions as I try to implement these ideas using the tools at hand.
