Description
3D model graphic of an ideal neighborhood street composed of 12 of my 3D models "joined" together to form both sides of a block. Assumes a straight street and flat lots for simplicity. All houses are fully designed original designs of mine, designed over the last ten years or so, featuring two-story traditional architecture, alley-access rear garages, optional full basements, most homes with master suite and two bedrooms on second floor. Most of the models here have complete interiors with "accurate" dimensions, faithful to the plans.Overhead "mild bird's eye view" shows angled view from, eh, maybe a couple hundred feet up?
Each individual house model can be built in Sketchup, saved, and later, joined together in any combination with the others. Always fun to horse around with! Things to watch out for are: keep your lot sizes, especially depth (front to rear) consistent, watch features like grass, (use consistent color/texture,) and keep in mind that these models get VERY complex when joined together, so, depending on the speed of your computer, the model will "refresh" slowly when you spin it around for various views.
Look elsewhere in my gallery for the various summary plans, pencil portraits, and other plan info for all of these houses, generally, the "300" series. Too many links to put here!

My first thought in seeing this was how many polygons are in this piece and how slow the refresh rate must be.
In AutoCAD I would convert each home into a block and keep the view in 2d until rendering, to expedite the work. Still, even with my mid range video card this takes a while.
Do you think SketchUp is faster at refreshing larger environments? The paper model look that is unique to SketchUp might be a factor in that. I can not say myself as I stick with Autodesk Revit and CAD

Grins.. I'll go check my comments, I can do smart ass replies!! *laughing*
It's a long story. The short version is, I'm a model railroader, and I'm also the mascot for Miniature World of Trains. www.miniatureworldoftrains.com
Do you ever build models of the houses you sketch?

Boy I'd love to, but I would NEVER leave the house if I ever opened up that Pandora's box. I built balsa planes, plastic models, etc as kid. A friend of mine has a garden gauge railroad in his yard, many handbuilt trains in basement! Big Honkers man!!! never seen them before. Somebody else needs to build these houses so I can design them...How much balsa wood have you got?

Hmm, the guy with the garden RR, does he live in Greer?
You're talking 1/2" scale. I know most of the garden railroaders in the area. I have about 250 feet of track behind my house, and I'm about to downsize because it's a maintenance nightmare!
Balsa is too soft for buildings. I use beech or ash from one of the local hobby shops.

OHHHHH he lives closer to Cherrydale, near Paris Mtn. I have never purchased a piece of beech or ash yet. Not very familiar. Hobby size stuff I suppose.

I really like the border decoration. Fits with the mood of your drawings. :3 Gorgeous home, all your drawings make me want cute cottages to live in. xD
