Very funny!

Nice, thank you.

Is anyone else here a fan of The Expanse?
Notice the pilot control on the Martian ship Rocinante!

Lovely

Very nice work.

Thanks TIG

Construction is going well. I took a couple photos and tried to match the perspective of the rendering.
Here is a progress shot, before - during and future.

Thanks guys.

Hi Eric,
Really impressive modeling and designs. Does your firm use sketchup only till the conceptual/ schematic phase? Or do they go all out till construction detailing? Do you utilize layout for the drawings? Do you use revit as well? If yes, how do you transition from SU to Revit? Do you redo everything in Revit?
Thanks!

It all depends on the project. For the smaller projects we usually use SU through conceptual - schematic then kick it to CD's in Revit (there are still a few Autocad stragglers in our firm). I won't use the SU model again unless to generate a title sheet image or to answer questions during CD's.

For larger projects we usually use SU in tandem with Revit. Sometimes I run both models, sometimes I am running the Su while someone else does the Revit. It is extra work but seems to work well with our style. I am able to work closely with the Architect on design decisions while the CD's are being generated. However most of the SU model is exterior and a few key interior areas.

The only things I might import into Revit from SU are signs or 3d text that is manipulated in SU. Those can be challenging in Revit while I can bang them out in SU in no time.

I have never used Layout.

Here are some images of work I have been doing over the past few years (native SketchUp).
Most of these are built or under construction; a couple still fund raising.

Last 2 in the set.

Thanks!

Here are a few more views.

Ha yes, even better!

Nice work!

These remind me of the pants on some of Stefan Bucher's monster drawings.

These are great. Could pass for photos no doubt!

Welcome.
Nice images and cool design. Look forward to seeing more.

Thanks guys, good things to think about.

Yep, Fotosketcher. I listed the programs used above.

Thanks guys.

Here is the first in a set of images I am doing for a project that is currently under construction. We did the design and construction drawings in such a manner I did not have the go ahead to spend time on proper renderings. Now I do.

The building to the left is a renovation and the rest is an addition. I will add more images as I get them produced.

We have also been approved to get Lumion and a new machine to run it properly so I will be upping my game soon.
