For some time I have been working on a digital model of Errwood Hall and this is now nearing completion.   Details have been taken from photographs posted on the forum and from a drawing prepared by Holly Rees.  There are a number of blank walls where there should be windows and doors;  I have omitted these rather than guessing their positions.  Other inaccuracies will be obvious and I will correct these if I am able to obtain additional photographs or details.

I hope that this computer model will give a reasonable representation of Errwood Hall.  I will shortly prepare an animated "walk round" which will be available through YouTube.

Google SketchUp is the software used to prepare this model.  The free version, which I use, may be downloaded here :  sketchup.google.com/download/   Installation of the program will allow full viewing of the Errwood model including zooming, panning and walk around.  I will happily e.mail a copy of the sketchup file to any member who requests it ( parabuild@btopenworld.com )

Yes, fantastic work.

I have been in touch with Mr parabuild and with his permission I have put the SketchUp files on the Errwood website. So if you feel like dabbling (if that is the right word) with them you can download them from there.

I have also updated the Research page with the latest piccies supplied by Mr parabuild.

He is very modest about his work, I don't know the first thing about SketchUp but having had a quick look I reckon Mr parabuild has done a very good job.

Website updated Mr. Parabuild, as you requested.

Thanks and well done

Norm

P.S. Can I add that the Google SketchUp Software seems to like a machine which is fast and with plenty of memory etc. My machine cannot handle it, but to be fair my computer is below any decent spec. I will upgrade when it gives in. So if you do download the software and Mr. Parabuild files and it is slow don't worry, life is like that.

Thanks David.

I have put a link to it from the website. It gives a really good impression of the size of the hall.

Cheers
