Our winter home which the county says
is too small
|
Photoshopping foundation headers, piers
and a connecting wall for the addition
|
Laying boards to approximate S & E borders
of the proposed addition |
SketchUp generated floor headers
|
|
Same headers, just white,
before cutting off excess |
Floor level one of four and setting pier positions
|
Four levels to raise the SE corner above the rocks |
|
|
|
My model version 1.0
(out of 3)
|
Initial 1st floor interior.
My wife said "No".
|
House sized T-111 panel composite
before cutting to fit the south side
|
|
After cutting to fit the west side
|
Rear tie-ins to existing structures
|
The extended roofing is designed to blend into the background picture as seen below far left |
Very cool SketchUp features:
'transparency' and 'hidden' |
|
|

|
Preparing to fit a downloaded door
and try out a 4 panel slider
|
|
|
|
|
Adding downloaded iron balcony
and window boxes
|
Downloaded and stretched a rock
to represent terrain
|
Temporary grey rectangle serves as a 'knife'
to cut through downloaded iron railing |
Temporary 'cutaway' allows work
on opposite inside wall, etc. |

|
Drawing terrain lines the hard way
did not work out ...
|
The thousands of resulting slope lines
bogged down the CPU |
Simply outlining and 'lifting' the terrain
minimizes the drain on the system ... |
SketchUp automatically computes a
minimal 'web' within the outline |
|
Filled the 'web' with a selected
sand-like pattern
|
The rock was downloaded from
Sketchup's 3D-warehouse |
Somebody actually made that rock and
uploaded it to the warehouse |
Walls, etc, temporarily 'hidden'
|
|
|
|
Traded the 4 panel slider
for two twin panels
|
|
|
Need that center post between
the sliders for support
|
My model version 2.0
|
Redesigned the entire model after getting
true elevations with a real laser level
|
Raised the SE corner, and everything attached, by 3 feet
|
|
|
My model version 3.0 |
|
One temporary 4 sided box 'cuts' a
window hole through all walls
|
|
|
|
|
Will the building inspector go for this? |
