I wouldn't recommend doing this because you won't be able to work on another computer anymore...

Some recent SubD examples...

I saw this on the artisan website and wanted to try out SubD to model similarly...

Nice model

For a clean and nice quad topology, you can try to eliminate these ngons...

One upcoming solution: https://mindsightstudios.com/skimp/
Or: reduce the polygon count before import (Meshlab, ...)
Or: Artisan has a polyreducer tool

Approximately the size of my living room

Very nice!

The right tools in the right hands...

I'm pretty sure Cotty taught me that one.

I've tried to teach this to my last SketchUp class, I'm sure some days after the lesson they even don't remember to have seen the "trick".

The mentioned 4 steps in moving pictures...
("Copy" and "Paste" with shortcuts...)

Maybe with this plugin?

Secondly, I almost never want to erase the original object and would like to set that as the default instead of having to confirm it each time.

Looks much less dangerous now, great result!

All models start with box...

How many of them were build in real after the model?

Great! (as always of course)

Can't wait to try it!

ThruPaint (part of FredoTools) can paint both sides with one click too...

One side of the rectangle consists of two edges and this prevents the grid creation.
After repairing this, I've got another error (see ruby console for plugin errors). I've scaled the component a little bit, so that there's more overlap regarding the grid. There are some errors in the result but it gets created, next I would try to use a finer grid...
