Partially completed exterior view of Timber Frame project modeled in Google SketchUp.
Freelance Google SketchUp Pro 3D Modeling Services:
I provide freelance Google SketchUp 3D Modeling for Timber Frame, Heavy Timber, Post and Beam, Architectural, Landscaping and other projects.
Your Google SketchUp model can be created based on existing AutoCAD drawings, blueprints, images or hand drawn sketches.
I can send you views of your model as a printable image file, PDF or playable video format.
When completed I will provide you with the Google SketchUp model file which can be opened on your computer with the
free downloadable version of Google SketchUp.
The construction of your Google SketchUp model can be as simple or as detailed as you want or need.
Your Google SketchUp model can be limited to just the exterior aspects or it can include all the interior details right down to the kitchen
sink. All construction components are drawn to full scale (i.e. a 2x6 will be drawn at 1.5" x 5.5").
After your Google SketchUp model is completed I can provide you with rendered images or an animated 3D Walkthrough.

Hot4CAD Rafter Tables
A comparitive table of roof slopes, roof angles, length per foot run and backing angles for hip/valley rafters. It covers roof slopes from 1:12 to 30:12.
If you are using Google SketchUp
to do Timber Framing modeling or real world stick framing you will find my Rafter Tables very helpful. While you can input 12:6 into Google SketchUp to
create your angles, the protractor only outputs inquiry values in angle format. You can use my Rafter Tables to convert the angle value to a roof slope.
Need to find the angle to place a rafter, hip rafter or valley rafter? My Rafter Table gives you the number you need. Do you need to model a Hip Rafter
with the correct backing? Do you need to model your Valley Rafter with the correct trough? Get the angle you need from my Rafter Table.
I spent a great deal of time combing through numerous Framing/Construction books, the Internet and producing test Google SketchUp models to collect this data
in one place for the use in AutoCAD Drafting and Google SketchUp modeling. Since I am using this data to do AutoCAD Drafting and/or Google SketchUp
Modeling, I did not include data helpful to those actually working in the roofing trades. We have other means to aquire the jack rafter lengths for example,
using extend, trim and/or push/pull. Your copy is free, please give credit where due when sharing copies.
