modeling my office in SketchUp

I mentioned that I'd gotten new bookshelves in a previous post. I've got the bookshelves done and I've been cleaning up lots of other stuff as well. I had boxes of computer parts also stacked in the office since moving into it. I got big plastic tubs to move that into (culling out useless bits) that will keep spiders and the like from it in the garage.

I'm also thinking about rearranging the office to make better use of the space. I decided to start with some house drawings I'd done before and add detail to the office so I could play with placing the furniture in 3d. This allows me to try things without unplugging the multitude of wires, etc. And it lets me try out potential future furniture before buying it.

Here's what I have so far - in the configuration that it currently is arranged:



It's obviously missing a lot of smaller clutter like computers, basses, etc but it's enough to begin playing with. I'll update more later as I have it...

maybe something on the partition wall where the stairs are, you got plenty of space.....it'll look good.

I like the textures on all the different surfaces. The ScetchUp pictures look really cool.
