<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">It depends on what you call quick, and what you consider professional looking. I've found Sketchup to be perfect for our needs. I'm usually doing low-cost solar pool heating system presentations, so speed is critical. 15-20 minutes is usually enough time for a great 5-page presentation in Sketchup Pro with Layout. On more complex roofs and for higher value projects, an hour may be required for a stellar proposal that blows away the competition.</div>

<br>
We are finding that more and more of our competitors are giving<br>
prospective clients a really nice array sketch along with their proposals.<br>
We have been using Google Earth and Sketchup for this but our sales reps<br>
are wondering if there is anything better out there. I am aware of<br>
Pictometry but haven't been wowed by it in the past. I've also seen the<br>
Bright Harvest and Skelion plugins for Sketchup but I'm not completely<br>
sold. Sometimes we punt it over to the engineering department to do a full<br>
Autocad drawing but that takes time.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have software tools that they like to provide quick but<br>
professional looking array sketches for their clients during the proposal<br>
phase?<br>
<br>
Best, August<br>
