Have been looking at SketchUp and it looks like a really quick and easy way to do buildings but have no idea what template thingy to use and what sort of size to do the things. Can someone point me in the right direction please..? Ta!

as far as I know the ratio in sketchup if you use metre's etc is 284cm in sketchup = 1 fpsc segment, what i do is i converted an existing mesh of a floor segment from fpsc to a dae file, loaded it in sketch up, copied and pasted it and aligned it with as many as i needed (ie 6x7) so i had the 'footprint' of how large it would be in fpsc and built around that, doing the same with the model of a person for visual scale/reference.

Hope that helps

smoke em if you got em
