Construction Details in Color

Forum:
In response to a recent "off forum" discussion on Sketchup Layout and to a lesser degree Revit and Archicad I've decided to take a hard look at adding colored details to my con docs sets in addition to providing library of O2C models. The initial response to color and the O2C models has been very positive from my main building contractor.
Attached are two samples (not my work..acquired from the Masonry Detail Series on 3D Warehouse http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/ ... cc&start=0) I've worked up and I'm now at the point of developing the "best" way of annotation...in DataCAD or going the Photoshop/Illustrator method.
Other questions to be answered:
1. Best method of printing? Full sheets or detail books? In house via PDF or commercially printed?
2. Will DataCAD presently be pushed to far to handle the added graphics or is this a limit of the hardware?
My motives are two fold: 1. to develop a better set of con docs. 2. Expand on my growing base of 3D and illustration clientele.
O2C model can be found here:

Looking forward to the thoughts of the forum,
Robert
