3. Potential Client
Your potential client will want to see how the finished product will look. Perspective Views and a floor plan will convey this concept. Very little text has been added to these drawings to maintain simplicity for the client.

11. Floor Plans
Dimensions as well as materials will be of concern to the estimator. These floor plans will give the estimator the layout concept as well as the dimensions to consider when inspecting the elevation drawings.
** Please refer back to these dimensions to interpret section views!

21. Dimensioned Floor Plan
This floor plan includes dimensions of interior spaces. The main exterior dimensions of 50’x80’ were clipped when the image was exported from Sketch-up.
Only the exterior walls will bear the roof load. This load will be distributed to the walls by modified “bowstring” trusses.
Interior walls will support the ceiling and the HVAC components.
Back

22. Section
Exterior walls will be the primary load bearing walls as they will support the modified “bowstring trusses” in roof cavity.
Exterior walls: 2x6 Wooden Frame Stud walls with Studs 16” on center; 6” masonry facade on N,E,and W facing walls; standard brick on S facing wall.
See next page for more details.

23. Section with Loadings Back
Indicate Potential Dead Loads such as snow, rain, ice, etc.
These loads will act perpendicular to the surface of the roof.
Similar loadings can be expected at each facet of the roof surface.
Indicates potential wind loading. This can be expected on each face of the building.

Diffusers will be located in ceiling.
Data for calculations:
Floor to ceiling height = 10’
Exterior walls composed of 6” masonry façade, 2x6 stud walls, R-5 insulation, and painted gypsum wall board
All windows have thermal glass with a .55 shading coefficient

29. Comments & Suggestions
Although I am no longer completely opposed to the use of this program, it does have many shortcomings in comparison to a tool such as AutoCAD. However, in terms of producing aesthetically pleasing 3D renderings, this program holds the upper hand.
The structural engineering drawing and HVAC drawing concepts were difficult to accomplish in this program. It is clearly not intended for detailed engineering uses.
This project took a great deal of individual effort. The massive quality of this project could be greatly masked by the use of teams or small groups.
Learning Sketch-up in a week’s time (learning enough to produce the diagrams) was a huge undertaking. Although the tutorials were helpful, the learning process was time consuming.
