Settle in with a cup of joe! Join Eric as he lays out a collaborative workflow for a complete coffee shop. He starts out with the footprint of an existing space and builds out the shell and building context. ![Screen Shot 2024-01-03 at 2.22.04 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/0/f/0fe79c68b3ed7c472808063c22b6f1c8e46f5212.jpeg) Then he establishes space planning while drawing from inspiration. ![231219_Collaborative Modeling Sessions Ideas_7](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/8/a/8a47becb1803eee4751a972783187b53674db4be.jpeg) Tune in for SketchUp tips you can use in your next project.

If I could suggest a constraint: no 3D Warehouse allowed. Create low-poly concept furniture on the spot. Every day someone posts a model they have succeeded to kill by bringing in all the bloated manufacturer’s models from the Warehouse. ---

I love where you’re going with this @Anssi . I would agree that the goal is to build it all out from scratch with no/minimal use of 3DW as needed. We shall see if we can do it! ---

Great idea! The 3D Warehouse models can be real Model Bloaters. How about if when we share models on the Warehouse we make a low poly version too? Cheers, Steve (Transom) ---

Thanks @keggification for watching. For those that missed it live, catch it [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR8-D7NXCm8): This is where we got to today. Right where I was hoping we would leave off – Basic architectural envelop and exterior done. Barista counter/back of up house next! ![Screen Shot 2024-01-05 at 1.02.02 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/d/8/d85f7d8ff372993d4e5497d3b5316a9216ccc473.jpeg)
