I need a design tweaking.

Hi. I've been searching around this wonderful forum full of knowledge and expertise, and have found a design (by John). I really like the design, but would like to tweak it a little according to what I'm after. The SketchUp file of the design is attached, as is an image of what I would like tweak. My problem is, I work on a Mac, and since SketchUp Free doesn't support OS X, I can't get access to it. I'd have a go at this myself, but for these reasons, I can't. I know it's a lot to ask, since I'm sure these things take time. But, is anybody willing to tweak this design for me, and include the things that I'm after? Please? Pretty please, with sugar on top? Anybody? John? Thanks very much for your time and knowledge, onlyone-jc.

Aloha and welcome to the forum, :D What kind of tweaking did you have in mind? The more info you can provide, the better. Have a look at: http://johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3231 to see what kind of info would be helpful. Thanks! :wink: Looking forward to your project. Aloha 8)

Hi Aloha. Thanks ever so much for replying! The image contained in the 'StudioLayout' ZIP file shows what I would like tweaked. I really love John's design, I think it's great. It's just, it would be really nice if I could tweak it just a little in order to fit my needs, and incorporate those few little extras. If you could help, that would be really great. Thanks again, onlyone-jc.
One thing that I will add, and the reason I hesitated to add it, was because I'd feel really guilty if I was asking too much of somebody. But, if each designated area could fit one of these room ratios, that would be absolutely excellent:
1: 2.16 : 2.96 1: 2.16 : 2.97 1: 2.16 : 2.98 1: 2.17 : 2.96 1: 2.17 : 2.97 1: 2.17 : 2.98 1: 2.17 : 2.99 1: 2.18 : 2.97 1: 2.18 : 2.98 1: 2.18 : 2.99 1: 2.18 : 3 1: 2.19 : 2.99 1: 2.19 : 3 1: 2.19 : 3.01 1: 2.19 : 3.02 1: 2.2 : 3.01 1: 2.2 : 3.02 1: 2.2 : 3.03 1: 2.21 : 3.02 1: 2.21 : 3.03 1: 2.22 : 3.03 1: 2.22 : 3.04
If this is possible, I would be ever so grateful! This will hopefully be a space that will be created, rather than crammed in to an existing space. So, the overall dimension, if needed to be altered, isn't too important. As long as the print shows most of the valid information, then that will be great. Thanks again, onlyone-jc.
Aloha, OK. I think I got it, now. Here's your pic for easier reference. Aloha 8)

Aloha onlyone-jc, Could you post the actual sketchup file or link to it's location, please? Thanks! :wink: Aloha 8)
Aloha, again :D How big (L x W x H) is the space you are actually working in/with? Any pics/drawings/layouts? Aloha 8)

Hi Aloha. The SketchUp file is located inside of the 'Basement 1' ZIP file. The reason that I ZIPped the file, was because it exceeded 500KB and that is the maximum attachment size on this forum. Thanks for your time, onlyone-jc.

As I mentioned above, the space is most likely to be created, rather than adapated to an existing room. So it is likely to be created inside of a much larger space. The existing overall dimensions that John has made the design around are pretty much fitting to what I'm after - small, and capable of being dead. Once a design has been finalised, a location/property will be looked in to. The reason it is being done this way, is so that the design will work best for the task it will be used for, rather than trying to shape a room for what is needed around an existing space's imperfections. Thanks again, onlyone-jc.
onlyone - sure I could sit down and redraw it all for you but to what end?? you know the changes to be made - does it have to be in a drawing? cheers john

Thanks a lot for replying, John. This will be to pass on to somebody else for validation, so if I could get it in a print-up drawing, it would make things far easier, than for me to make notes and try to explain the tweaks to the concept. If it's not too much trouble, I would extremely appreciate it if you could tweak your design for me. If you don't have the time, then I really do understand that. You're obviously knowledgable, so I don't doubt for one minute that you're a busy man. Thanks again, onlyone-jc.
