More Sketchup!

As of right now im in the middle of some 3D designs i started on Sketchup. I love architecture, and therefore like the designs people 3D print off of Thingiverse that are like actual real objects. Ive printed a few Empire State buuildings and ive seen some aircraft builds. Id like to print out that B-17 that G.E. made; i must admit the design is impressive. It's all put on one file so the print is all in one process.

Anyways, what im getting at is that im in the process myself of designing Faneuil Hall. Designign it accurately is proving to actually be quite difficult. Im having an issue measuring the windows out correctly. There's 7 windows on both the front and back of the building, and without evening it out, I believe each of the windows width on a 1" scale is about .0875. Depending on the outcome, i will be able to determine the printability of the scaled model.
