I thought some folks here would like to see these photos of a house sheathed in copper, that I clipped from another site.
I was surfing through the Sketchup forums and found a link to Clark Bremer’s site. Clark is the owner of Northern Lights, a Minneapolis timberframe fabrication operation and frame builder. He has developed really cool subroutines that plug into SU for use in doing timberframe modeling and shop drawings.
IMHO, other than the fishscale copper, which they must have coated to give it a uniform patina, and the timberframe joinery, there is a lot not to like about the house. Clark’s SU plug-in sure is cool, though.
If I really need a copper fix, we drive up to Quebec City and stroll around looking up. There are beaucoups hectares of it cladding all the old roofs in town, and the Chateau Frontenac is the jewel in the crown.

Gene,
Could you list the URL for Clark's site with the plugins for SketchUP.
Thanks,
Jim Hannah
