Free block sites

[wstowe]

I've been looking at several free block sites online. Most of what I find is non us details and in metric. Do any of you have resources for 2D Imperial Arch blocks such as doors, windows, fixtures, wall and framing details?

Thanks!

For "...doors, windows, fixtures..." you want to go to manufacturer websites for that content.
If they have none, you'll need to recreate from their PDFs or dimensions manually.

For "...wall and framing details..." it appears you may not know what you need there but it's best if you create your own: most drywall/framing manufacturers love posting stock details in PDF for the various ratings and sizing, attach then recreate.

And remember, 'free' means junk to most of us, you never want to assume anything from any resource is a good detail or dimension if it's not from a manufacturer or professional detailer you know.

Thanks for the info, I searched Andersen Windows website and they had a lot of resources. However, most of what I need are not manufacturer specific.  I understand what you mean about free being junk. I value my time enough to consider purchasing quality architectural blocks. Have you or anybody else reading this purchased from a site and can recommend it?

Thanks!
