Design of city buildings

[Muffi8]

I have started working on buildings in Sketchup Make 2017. I currently have only one building - it's a hotel and it should represent or at least be close to the image below. I will try to create at least 2 other designs of buildings so we can recreate more later. Will upload the design of the first building (or screenshots) later on here.

A problem occurred with the first design of the building. I cannot get to copy across a wall windows. I am placing all of the windows myself so that might slow down my work a bit. Planing on finishing the first building today, if not tomorrow latest. Starting another urban building as soon as the first one is done (all i need to do now is paint it appropriately and get the windows across the last 2 walls). Not worried about the painting but the windows take time! Screenshots available below :arrow_down:

P.S. This is from last night but I have done some more rows with windows this morning.

The next building will be an apartment one. Here is something that most of the team agreed on, although we might change the style a bit. Link here: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/558ad8ec98248ea8b231919e1eff2c61/F-r-i-e-n-d-s-The-Building-As-Seen-From-The-Street

Update: My eyes are all squares now from all the windows but its finished! Here is some screenshots of the first building ⬇️ :

I came up with an idea as I am almost done with the second building which made me think that I could make buildings but i could simply download free textures (materials) and simply paint the buildings with them. There won't be any "real" windows or doors because i found textures online which look like certain types of buildings so that would save a lot more time so I can recreate more and more. I am currently testing this theory on the second building so we will see how this goes 😄 .

So I have finished the second building. I have some minor issue with it but I doubt it's that bad. I tried googling it and looking for a solution and even tried myself a few things but it was just all ending up with the building having no walls. I guess this thing is attached to the rectangle (wall) of the front side of the building. I have downloaded a FREE ready design of a building on the official Sketchup Warehouse site but they have used a tool called "follow me" and all I could find is how to use it (very useful by the way) but nothing for how to get it back to the point were you haven't had it set on the building. Of course there is a way of doing so, but this in my vision is only if you use the "Undo" button.

I will start the third building today. Should be like a small shop where the player can get food and stuff. I will use my new idea for the ready materials and hopefully it will work out well! 😄

Screenshots of the second building to be uploaded later today.

The issue I have with the building:

• I have these rectangles there and windows that does not exactly match the style of the building (or even the structure if you will). I can't seem to find a way of getting rid of them without deleting a whole wall.

The rest of the screenshots of the building:

P.S. I am not sure if I am happy with the colours of the building but I think I will leave it this way for now.

The 3rd building (ideally a small street food shop so the player can get inside and buy stuff that will boost his abilities (sprinting etc.)) might look something like this building from this link:

Still for FREE.

Another example we might use (after some redoing, of course):

The last 3rd building is finished. I had a look at it, changed it slightly and now I believe it's ready to be used. Here are some screenshots of it, it is supposed to be a street shop:
