Sketch it Up.

I am by no means a Sketchup expert, but I have enjoyed using the program for a number of years now, and feel like over the past few weeks I have really learned and improved my skills quite a bit. I used it to map out the floor plan and have also used it to create 3d renderings of the house. Combine that with large-format printing available at the FedEx store, and I have some pretty professional looking blueprints. Below are some elevations. Unfortunately I don’t know how to show the terrain lines along the side of the house. I also don’t have a good way to render the shingles. But aside from those two issues I’m pretty pleased.
