[MassHistPres] 21st Century Designs (Sketchup)

[Sarah Korjeff]

The Cape Cod Commission has a staff person who is very adept at working with
Sketchup.  We have used it to show proposed building projects to our
subcommittee members and others to help them better understand how a
proposed building massing will look.  We've used it to better illustrate
proposed additions to historic buildings, the visibility of proposed new
commercial buildings, and potential streetscape changes if zoning
requirements (such as setback and building height) are modified.
