![]() Those of us who make such models are paid to do so (even wannabes like myself). Also, very few example models contain the level of detail you may be seeking in terms of framework, structural members, mechanicals, etc. The finished product will give you no insight on the reasons and methods behind all the components within. ![]() To be upfront and honest with you, what you’ve proposed here is the same as saying, “I’m going to take apart a car so I can know how to cast aluminum, process shatter-proof glass, and vulcanize tires.” As you may see this is a bit more than basic so I would like to find the same level of house so I can take it apart and see how it works to learn and make mine. Then I would like to make some changes to the floor plan. It’s really a 3d modeling program that you could design anything with, and (as mentioned above) there are some third party resources that might help in making house models. When I think of SU, I don’t consider it a home design software like Chief Architect or even like some of the low end “design” software or websites out there. ![]() For example, offers extensions that help you model the house assemblies and includes a lot of functions based on building industry standards. There are add-on extensions paid and otherwise that help model buildings structures and components. You may find some resources… for example sells detail models in SketchUp format that can be modified for your project. SketchUp does not come with building detail models or drawings. SketchUp (Trimble) does not have a library of house designs. So yes you can import plans and draw over them in 2d and take that into 3d. The general method of using imported plans is to trace over an imported dwg, dxf etc. You’d have to try it out to consider if it works for you. Also SketchUp’s export for DWG (for example) is often considered subpar. The usability of the export depends on your work, and what program you are moving it to. There are file formats such as DWG that you can export from SketchUp–if you have the right version.
