My Uncle is thinking of building a in-law house on his property and asked me to make a blueprint/diagram for it in SketchUp
Describing the building
I started by Skyping my Uncle and then he started explaining how he wanted the house, and I made it from there. Its going to be under 600 Square Feet because anything over that he would have to get a special permit to build over the 600 square feet. He wants one bed, one bath, kitchen, living room/dinning room all up and with a lot of natural light. He wants several closets for the utilities and ext. Here is a picture of what we made:
I took a bunch of stuff out of the 3D warehouse to furnish the 3D model. Since the house is so small most of the things that I brought in didn't fit correctly, I had to rearrange them a lot and resize them to get them to fit. I added a little person in it for perspective so that my Uncle could really get a good sense of size. I used screen-share so that he can see what I doing and that I don;t have to take a million pictures and send them to him as it is very time consuming.
This is my first actual project that might actually be used. While I was modeling it, I didn't have much time to get everything exact, so I will be re-doing the whole thing to make the size correct and build the furniture into the building not out of it.
