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.

The post module now has 86 post caps and 65 post bases within its built-in library.  I think I've modeled about 75% of the Simpson Strong-Tie's Wood Construction Connectors Catalog at this point.
