How to draw a Tiny House with Google SketchUp – Part 4

2 Comments

1. The only disadvantage of drawing windows and doors like you did is that it just looks like a window and door but is not constructed as a window and door would be, so getting a material list would not be possible. ( you basically just punched out doors and windows from a large solid block)

   Also, I chuckled when you drew on the ‘decorative indent’ on the door. Maybe people have forgotten why doors look the way they do?? It had everything to do with doors being made of wood and wood movement of large flat panels. Flat ( or raised panels) were put loosely in a groove formed by the boards which ran around the perimeter of the door. If doors were solid wood then wood movement in a door would be catastrophic with the different seasons. Doors would jam or warp in wet seasons and have gaps in dry seasons.
