Google SketchUp Model of Fireplace

[KevinM]

Does anyone know of a functional SketchUp model of a fireplace. By functional I mean:
a) not being and empty rectangular box
b) have an opening for a flue

I'm sure I can figure it out in a few hours but why re-invent the wheel.

Well this is as far as I made it tonight. Don't have everything connected but it is getting there. The back left top corner is a bit triangulated to make the shape but I couldn't get it to keep the faces in one piece.

Modern, efficient fireplace design was the work of Count Rumford of the late 1700's. Width, height, depth, slope, smoke shelf, damper, and chimney all are critically related to a properly functioning fireplace. Take a look at the following to get you started:

I will be using the model for diagrams for my permit for the installation.

As well I hope to get a better impression of how the flex liner will fit going from the insert and through the damper plate.
