Got it

Thank you very much for the thought-out responses. I never thought putting a hole in an assembly was considered outside the norm.

pbacot: Yeah it's not difficult to stack blocks, but individually cutting/resizing each one of those seemed like the hard way, not the only way. The top plate is the header for the rest of the existing basement, so it is going there to match. The jamb blocks and cast sill make sense. The rest of the house I will draw as everyone suggests.

Box: this looks like it will work for what I need - how does one obtain and execute this visuhole?

Thanks for your reply. The reason I want to use blocks to represent blocks, versus a texture, is that I need to use the drawings to stamp and submit as official drawings of record. A blurry texture isn't acceptable.

Based on your response, is it not possible to make a hole in something like this to stick a window in?

Hello,

You guys probably get all kinds of annoying questions posted here all day long. I tried searching the forum for an answer, and have not been successful on Google either.

I am modeling an addition to my house on sketchup and am working on adding basement windows. I am creating the model using components like studs and concrete blocks, so all of the tutorials for adding a window in a standard hollow wall don't apply. I'd like to add the window to the wall, which is made up of individual blocks. See below:

Is there an easy way to do this?

Thank you
