Decoding Zoning Regulations in SketchUp: Visualize setbacks and height restrictions with 3D Diagrams

In this SketchUp tutorial you will learn how to model a detailed 3D diagram illustrating height restrictions and setbacks, right on top of a site survey. This is the best way to make sense of complex zoning codes and ensure your designs are within regulations. Additionally, you will discover extensions to enhance SketchUp's aerial imagery and import PDF's as vector drawings. Be sure to watch the Garage Permit Set Livestream! I model a garage within these rules using the Medeek Tools.
