Hi Wylie (or someone else adept at Google Sketch), can someone please do a quick render of the Days Inn across from Encore/The Met. I believe its 23 floors? Even if its a super-crude "box". I'd like to see how it impacts my view from Encore. 
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!

^ Thanks.
I've basically considered doing every quality high-rise project in Toronto today. Uptown is a building that I'd like to do, but I'm not too familiar with Crystal Blu. You might have noticed that I now have a trend of concentrating on modelling one district/neighbourhood at a time (I'm working on the Financial District/Entertainment District now). However, new high-rise projects remain high on my priority list.
I've already written about the time I take to do these models. On average a building model takes 1-3 hours. Modern glass towers are very easy to do- I can usually finish one in under 2 hours (sometimes even under an hour, in the case of Festival Tower). Older buildings, like Art Deco, and even brutalist towers, take longer to make because I find it tricky sometimes to make windows and other elements of those buildings stay flush with the facade. I'd probably spend 3 hours or more on the more detailed buildings.

Here's a special treat for the transit fans, especially those who live in Scarberia...
Scarborough RT Train
Not 100% accurate, or even 99% accurate, but I'm quite happy with it. Due to technical difficulties I wasn't able to add headlights, and the colours seem to be off when you view the model in Sketchup with shadows on.
This model should be viewable in Google Earth. I placed the model on top of a southbound train approaching Lawrence East station that is viewable in Google Earth/Google Maps.
This model shows that Sketchup isn't only for the architecture fans!
EDIT: There seems to be a problem with the orientation of the cars in the train (the driver's cabs in all the car seem to be on the same side of the train). I'll try to have that problem fixed soon, and hopefully also address the colour problem.
