Hi how is everyone, I am looking for someone with some spare time and knowledge of this program to try and get me up to speed asap. I have a little bit of an idea and pick things up pretty quick. Maybe could do lessons over team viewer or similar?

The 2 jobs I would like to do first is take this bim model (childcare centre) and create the wall elevations from it so I can export as .dxf and import into a cutting list.

& the other thing is to extrude all the panels in the job below and put a roof on it if possible?

Hi Jim welcome. To save you paying for training make sure you sign up to the PlusSpec YouTube Channel. Here are two handy tutorials that we dropped today, I believe both will save you a heap of time

  1. Create walls from face: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdeuMeS_erk
  2. Create Similar walls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FjwF-lWTEA

I would make the above drawing a group and then trace over the external walls from the pitching point of the roof with Sketchup and teh use create walls from face. Jim you will make a few mistakes but it wont take long to get the hang of it.

Jim what do you do? Are you an architect, builder estimator or all of the above?

PlusSpec will create a cutting list and panel drawings for you for framing if that is what you are refering to?
