Ivan, Why do you use both DB and Sketchup? I thought that DB completely replace the need of sketchup and Open Studio… Please clarify.

We have Design Builder, Google Scketchup with Open Studio, and i've heard that some professionals model with excel macro spreadsheets to take the coordinates of each zone. Someone models with spreadsheets? I'm using desing builder and i like it. What program do you think is better? I would like to know how to do. Thanks for all! Técg.
