When this referral client reached out to me about this house, I got excited. I am a huge fan of architecture, and a house like this gets my blood flowing.

I request AutoCAD files, since I prefer starting with those, but sometimes those are not available. Here, they were not, and I received a SketchUp model. There are obstacles starting with people’s model that I have mentioned before, and this one was a booger. I spent about twice the time cleaning up flipped normals, double geometry, and all other kinds of bad geometry than modeling from CAD files. I am a pretty calm person, and it takes a lot to get me mad. I can’t tell you how many times I yelled to myself that I’ll never take someone’s model ever again! This wasn’t my clients’ model, it was the architects.

I think these turned out wonderfully, and I hope you agree; my client did!

FANTASTIC WORK! Thank you Bobby
