Is 8,000 sqft too large? I'm going to say yes, at least for most people.



Besides the regular mdkBIM plugins I also used the grid tool (Medeek Project), but the regular SketchUp grid tool works just as well. A grid tool is a requirement in my opinion, you really need something like this for laying things out correctly.

I also used TIG's mirror tool for certain manual modeling tasks.

The trim and extend tools in the Medeek Project were also very handy for creating my diagonal braces.
