draft home from photo references

[TexasMProsPlus 0]

If you are capable of drafting from only photo references, let's make a deal!

By that do you mean prepare a finished structure based on establishing a scale reference to a photo and then prepare a model and hence finished working drawings - anything is possible it depends on the number and quality of the photos?

That is just looking for someone to sue you, I would never do that.

If the photos are of this room, yes. All others, no.

In more seriousness. It is a tall and slippery order to create a drawing based on someone else giving you dimensions. To create and accurate plan from photos is pretty much impossible.

Thus the reason for  specific and detailed contracts. Not impossible, but tedious. The best way is to have the person photograph a distant view of each side being measured by some people and then a close up of the tape showing the measurement. Each photographed measurement must be agreed upon by all parties prior to actually putting pen to paper or mouse movement. As I said, tedious work for sure for the person doing the measuring but it can work.

Hi Serenity,

If everyone else is still scared away from your offer, I would be open to discussing.

I agree that specifics and detailed contracts make this quite possible.  I do much of my designing ONLY from pictures that clients provide me.  Unless I'm missing something I'm not sure what people's hesitations are.

Anyway, let me know if you are still of need.

Thanks much.

Mr. Galler,

Sorry to disappoint, but you need to contact the original poster, TexasMProsPlus. I am not the one needing the work completed. I was just discussing the method of how it could be done.

Thanks. 

I hadn't realized I screwed that up.
