My house: Inner structure complete

My SketchUp model of my house plods on. But, with the major inner structures now complete the model does begin to look very interesting. As you can see in the following picture I have added the interior doors, and this gives the model a peculiar dolls house effect.

The model of my house with stairways and interior doors complete.


I have the exterior 'shell' to apply now, including the window frames and front and back door. I have noticed quite a few nice windows available from component resources like 3D Warehouse and Form Fonts.com that look similar to those of my house, so I will give these a try.

My mind is also turning to doing a couple of different versions of my house model. A simplified version - without all the extra walls and parts I have included in this model - which I will texture, and also my fully modular animated version.

My house: Ground floor stairway

Added the lower stairway to my SketchUp model of my house. Stairways are easy enough to make so I won't go through the process, but it's probably a good idea to save any stairways like this as a component. You never know when they might come in useful for another house project.

This concludes all the major structural parts of the building, now I have to create the windows and doors. And, again, these can be added to a component library for re-use.
