Google sketchup model of house

Google Sketchup model.

This is not going to be yet another "we're building a house blog". Let's focus on lessons learnt and share some real knowledge and experience as opposed to "oh wow some bricks got delivered"!

The picture is from a 3D model I made of the house in google sketchup. As it's the first thing I've modeled it took hours and hours (and it's still a bit wonky in places).

The quick way to do it is to load the floor plan, draw around the walls and "pull" upwards. Then insert windows etc. There are many good tutorials around on google sketchup, completing the model will give you a good feel for the spaces within the house.
