That is Connecticut coast on Lengthy Island Sound. It’s in all probability solely due to the legacy homes which might be/had been right here that folks can construct again in roughly the identical place. The earlier home that was right here was worn out in Tremendous Storm Sandy, whereas two homes to the left had been worn out in Hurricane Irene. The home to the best survived however was just lately elevated with a brand new basis underneath it – fairly a development course of to look at.
Right here’s a mannequin of the positioning and neighbors with the design circumstances for flood waters that we’re required to design for. Two homes over to the west is lower than code but.

In final Friday’s stay modeling with @TheOnlyAaron, @jody requested in chat, “What are you engaged on?” and I replied “kitchen cupboards.” Right here’s what I used to be referring to.
Remoted:
In place:
Kludgy nook, but it surely works:
This cupboard producer/vendor is so a vertically built-in they’ve their very own 3D design and rendering software program that appears so much just like the outcomes of Enscape or Twinmotion, however they don’t share any type of drawing, fashions or CAD symbols with anybody, so I needed to make all this from scratch. A little bit of a ache, but additionally an attention-grabbing train.

Simply stick a counter high on there, no person will ever know.
This appears superior Robert, is that this for your own home? a consumer? will you be putting in when you’re achieved drawing, or handing it off to another person?
True! No less than it’s not completely wasted house. The problems was that the corporate’s personal software program wouldn’t enable the designer put a nook cupboard in in any respect. In SketchUp I can mannequin something possible, so I modeled what might be achieved, and it helped. That is for a consumer, not me. It appears just like the GC’s crew will do set up particularly since there’s a a lot shorter lead time that manner.
In our components now we have completely different nook options like this one

Apologies prematurely for such a protracted put up, but it surely’s taken over two years to go from preliminary design in SketchUp to seeing the lead to actuality.
The largest a part of design is exploring and evaluating different concepts and decisions. Right here’s a development of window merchandise explored for our window wall utilizing SketchUp:
A Metal: Hopes, Crittall, and different related together with Arcadia
B Marvin Necessities
C Marvin Elevate
D Marvin Trendy
E Marvin Final
F Marvin Final Coastal w/ Structural Reinforcement
A few of these got here from 3D Warehouse, some I needed to make from scratch.
Right here’s what a few of these seem like in actual life. (Discover my MacBook Professional and Spacemouse within the background)
A (Crittal & Arcadia):
C (Marvin Elevate casement-direct glaze mull):
D and B (Marvin Trendy casement left, Marvin Important direct glaze proper):
Last model (F) in SketchUp mannequin:
Building Doc sheet in PowerCADD with SketchUp import:
Lastly, months after being ordered they arrive and are put in.
The top outcomes are actually misleading of the huge quantity of labor it took to make them occur, however very gratifying to see it lastly come collectively.

Consumer discovered them right here. The inside cone may be rotated relative to the outer one, so make a element, and I if I would like one completely different from the opposite, Make Distinctive, enter the element and rotate that half. I need to say, I’m discovering the SketchUp coloration representing a V-Ray texture moderately removed from the mark on this case.
