Hi Jason,
These look nice, just what we’re looking for. Do you model the buildings to 3D yourself? Do you use any plugins or just Sketchup Pro?

I've found Sketchup to be perfect for our needs. I'm usually doing low-cost solar pool heating system presentations, so speed is critical. 15-20 minutes is usually enough time for a great 5-page presentation in Sketchup Pro with Layout. On more complex roofs and for higher value projects, an hour may be required for a stellar proposal that blows away the competition. A few low res pics are at the link below. I do literally almost 1000 presentation packets per year. If you want to see something hi-res, hit me up off list and I'll email you an actual presentation packet. https://drive.google.com/a/fafcosolar.com/file/d/0B-Kt4aH7U2BWOXJhRXRoSV82SFE/edit?usp=sharing Jason Szumlanski Fafco Solar On Tue, Jun 17, 2014 at 2:54 PM, August Goers <aug...@luminalt.com> wrote: Hi Wrenches, We are finding that more and more of our competitors are giving prospective clients a really nice array sketch along with their proposals. We have been using Google Earth and Sketchup for this but our sales reps are wondering if there is anything better out there. I am aware of Pictometry but haven't been wowed by it in the past. I've also seen the Bright Harvest and Skelion plugins for Sketchup but I'm not completely sold. Sometimes we punt it over to the engineering department to do a full Autocad drawing but that takes time. Does anyone have software tools that they like to provide quick but professional looking array sketches for their clients during the proposal phase?
