Looks great . . . how do we download them to use other than copy and paste . . . will we be able to download the SketchUp models/files?
**
A few ideas:**
3D view of garbage disposal - exploded view would be nice
3D view of common items in walls . . . electrical wiring, plumbing, HVAC ducting, vacuum system, etc.
3D view of framing around windows, doors, etc.
3D view of GFCI outlets in relation to sinks, toilets, etc.
3D view of egress thru basement windows, etc.
3D view of drainage around the exterior
Really like the 4th image down - similar images of the above would be great . . . look forward to seeing more from your in-house designer.
Guess I really didn’t do a great job explaining myself, Nick states the files are being created in SketchUp, I realized the files can be downloaded as jpgs, gifs, png, etc. - I’m was hoping the SketchUp files will be available to use . . . if we’re able to download the SketchUp file (SketchUp is a free download from Google), you then can zoom in, zoom out, rotate, and get the view you need to place in your report and I just added my thoughts on details would love to have access to use.
Yeah you’d have to have Google’s program. From the way Nick stated it , it sounds like the sketch up files will be available for download. I think this is an awesome benefit Nick.
Nick won’t see this you need to: “Members who desire something specific should email fastreply@nachi.org with a description of their request, and we’ll build it for you.”
It helps to do it right, thanks again Barry for pointing out we need to make the request thru fastreply . . . for others, when they become available, you will need to download Google SketchUp from this link, select the free copy. Once you have the model, you can rotate/view/etc then do a screen shot to place in your report . . . hope this helps others.
PS SketchUp has several tutorials if you need assistance in learning to use, just google ShetchUp and you’ll have more links than you can handle.
Bob, ya got to give it another try . . . on the link above in my previous post, off to the left side is links to training videos, etc., the program is way cool.
I’ve attach two views of the same area for an atrium house I’ve had on the old drawing board and by modeling in SketchUp can rotate and see things differently and make changes accordingly.
So with that said, if this designer Nick has hired will create the SketchUp models and ya have the program, you will then be able to rotate and get the view you need to place in your report . . . got my fingers crossed we’ll start seeing 3-D models in SketchUp to use.
