So, I'm starting the process of applying for permits for my basement buildout and the city requires that I submit construction drawings with the application.

What are you guys using to generate these drawings?

I've got a fairly detailed sketchup model of the space, but it doesn't "look" like a traditional construction drawing, and from what I understand, the construction drawing export feature is an add-on that only works with the expensive Pro version of Sketchup, not the free DIY version.

If needed, I could probably re-build the model in a way that looks more like a typical construction drawing, but is there a faster/easier way than that? Is there a better tool to use than Sketchup?

Hi Dan

When you open sketchup and goes to templates. There is an option to choose construction documentation. It is in planview. But you would probably have to do a new sketch. Hope this helps.

All the best

All the very best for your new project.
