Estimating Exterior Finishes using Imported 2D Elevations

This video is the second in a series showing the use of imported 2D drawings into SketchUp and using simple drawing tools (like lines and rectangles) to generate take-offs and estimates for exterior finishes (like brick and stucco in this example).  Builders can import the drawing files into SketchUp and get estimates and visuals with SketchUp and Estimator.  This can be as simple as creating faces to all elevations, assign materials and cost data to generate estimates – to using these faces to assemble an entire modeled shell of the structure (next video)
