0:50 Importing DXF/DWG
1:48 Housekeeping (scaling, organizing model)
4:40 Geolocating the model
5:30 Geolocating imported DWG (via OSM buildings)
7:07 Clearing the redundant context
9:14 Creating city blocks and massing using SketchUp native tools
10:35 Creating city blocks using Modelur
12:00 Updating city blocks parameters
13:00 Creating buildings using Modelur
13:35 Matching FAR of city block
15:25 Adding new land use
16:30 Creating mixed-use buildings
18:05 Slicer to split building in two
