Wow...thanks for the quick responses. Unfortunately my appreciation was a little delayed due to work commitments.

It's not really paranoia.... I like to be organised and my house, garden in fact most area's of my life I like to be straightforward and compartmentalised. I have this vision of creating an exact replica of my house and garden, (which I spend 15 minutes a night creating on sketchup and is coming along quite nicely) and then adding information succinctly with visuals of the actual object to include details such as;

• hyperlinks to user manuals
• warranty info
• serial numbers
• servicing dates

I even plan to extend into the garden and name individual plants with details such as when to prune etc...

That way everything is in one place....

Thanks again for your comments...I have not yet seen the solution from your responses but I am sure there is such a thing out there.

Keep the suggestions coming

I am quite new to sketch-up and am in the process of designing my house, (interior and exterior) on Sketch up (Free Version 8). The purpose of my project is to design an exact (as far as I can) replica of my house and contents as a home inventory for insurance purposes and to keep a general log of key information such as model numbers, warranties etc.....

Is there a free plug-in I can download to allow me to hover over an object in the house and it shows you information such as purchase date, receipt, and an actual thumbnail picture of the item???

Thanks
