Google SketchUp as a building tool
A colleague of mine is a very talented designer and has used Google SketchUp extensively for freelance work. After getting a quick tutorial on the software from her, I am now looking around at some other online resources for learning how to use this slick piece of kit. My hope is that this will help us during the planning process, eventually. We have already had some discussions and debates about what we want in a home, and given the number of warnings we have already heard about the importance of planning ahead to minimize change orders during construction, I’m trying to do everything feasible to make sure that the design we start with is as close as can be to our goal. We’ll see how that works out….
