Here's a partial look of the tool kit. Those modules live on another
monitor, but I have dragged them over here to give you some
indication. The pull-down in the centre are all tools/commands missing

Ok, but I am talking from a ww project point of view. I do realize that CAD
programs have lots more tools, I'v been using a bunch since 1997 myself.
;~)




Keep in mind, that most single tool icons can/will launch a dialog
box, something like this base cabinet parametric. Those exist for just
about any kind of cabinets and commercial/office furniture.

Another example of a parametric. One of several dozen different stair
designs.

Take a poke here,
http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibrary..._sections.html ther are a
bunch of plug ins that make Sketch up more fashonable. ;~) there are
several "stair" plug ins.



...and then there is the rendering aka pretty picturesit will create if
called upon. (By a customer who can't decide what wood grain to go
with in her kitchen.)

Sketch can do that with the correct chosen material.



I could be more specific, but I don't have that kind of time.

Understood
