The first completed project of 2021!

Two years ago, the family and I took a trip to Houston, Texas. Why Houston? The kids never flew; I wanted the trip to be memorable, so I looked for the least expensive flight, and Houston won. Man, was it hot! We drove to the golf, which is the closest the kids have gotten to an ocean, and we took the scenic route back to Houston. On our way back, we saw a ton of these houses on stilts.

I request CAD files, but sometimes I get Revit or Sketchup files. In the case of the Bayview House Rendering, it was a Revit file. Sometimes clients want a discount if they provide the model and the answer is usually no. Flipped normals, double geometry are two of the many issues with these 3d models. They are not necessarily modeled poorly; they are just not modeled for my needs, and to fix things, sometimes take longer than modeling from scratch. The industry joke is, no discount if you provide a 3D Model, I will charge you more.
