It’s worth watching this video related to the Eneroth technique

The blue hashtag mark indicates the Page where the sheets numbering starts, according to your attachment the numbering begins on Page 1 (Sheet No.1=Page 1).
Yes, this can be changed to a different page: File menu>Document setup>Auto-text>Page number, Start page.

I really like your houses and your SketchUp presentation, they are getting better.

Off topic: I would like to know how to do a floor plan section in a house like this, specially how to show different floor levels as well different high windows/doors.

One of my pet peeves remains: the materials pallet on Mac sucks. Sometimes I have to save and reopen a drawing to get it to update, and many times when I paste an object into a drawing it doesn't update.

Oh!, I thought this behavior was on my end, but like driven I learn that switching windows and back, updates the 'Colors' panel... too bad specially when the model is getting bigger.

Thanks

I really enjoy your posts, your houses are so cool. Last weekend my family and me were visiting the Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater house and remember your post based on that house.

I also would like to ask you to use the section plane tool to create your floor plans, they will show all opening (windows, doors..) more clear and easy to follow all your detailed perspectives.

I know is more than a year of this FR, but the behavior still the same. I only work with straight leader lines with/without elbow. With elbow the text is on the top, with no elbow (straight line) the text is on the middle with no option to fix the align on text window. The workaround is to make 2 straight lines to behave like a leader line with elbow.

If I understood what you are after, I will do this way:

• uncheck the shadows setting in axonometric scenes

• scene with the shadow setting: before set the shadows setting turn off all layer and set day/time/light/dark/... and check all setting. Every time you select this scene your working area will be cleaned. But if you want to use this scene to add the shadows to the current view of one of your axonometric scene, Set the shadows setting and uncheck Camera position and visible layer.
  In 1st cases when you update the shadows setting you won't see anything, but when you select one of your axonometric scenes they'll show the shadows setting. In 2nd case the shadow scene will add the shadows to the current scene
  In the same way you can create a scene to clean the shadows: turn off the shadow and check all setting but the visible layer. This scene will turn off the shadow in wherever scene Is selected.

You can draw guide point with "Draw Along" tool from Fredo6 Tools plugin, you can lock them vertically.

The same guy also has a video in which he made a windows table by creating a report from those components. After the report is sent to excel, its imported to SU as a table. He also shown how to update the table after edit one of the components.

This is the video

I have not tried it yet, but I think this is what you are looking for, I know it's Vietnamese but it's easy to follow the video.

I'm buying a new SU, I have always used the free SU with dozens of plugins so never had to use the pro. Trimble also changed their rules on using the free version for commercial work. I was a die hard SU8 user, not as bad as Pilou though.

My render licenses are all transferable. Podium, Twilight and Thea that is, I don't know about other programs.

Thanks, for your info.

Oil, could you tell how are you dealing with the software platform, specially Sketchup and Thea, do you have to buy another license or pay for upgrade?

Thanks

The solution to your problem could be solved with the Mike Brightman workflow as showed in a series of 6 videos, after I watched all the videos I finished buying his Book " The Sketchup Workflow for Architecture", I don't have any commission for advertising his book, but Its really good.

Don't pay attention to the model used in this video, it's very basic and this prevented me twice to see the entire video, but finally I did and now I'm learning this great workflow.

I've bookmarked this topic too http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=49271

Tig, your answer are so amazing, specially the once related with your work (plugins).
I've bookmarked all your post regarding with extrude thing, because is so dificult for us normal mind to follow the use of your plugin. They are so versatiles that we don't know how to use it or when (at lest me), but you are doing a good work "tigging" us your plugins. I barely give my answer but I give you my
