That SU will slowly be accepted by other departments and cities is
inevitable. It is the information that is within the document that
counts, not what software created it.
In a nearby county there was a engineering manager who only accepted
MicroStation documents or printed blueprints. MicroStation?? Ya
kidding me? Sure it was a nice CAD program for the Mac, but nobody
used it. AutoCAD was, and still is, king around here. The engineering
guys want assurance that when they're opening a drawing, that what
they see is what it is meant to be. In due time SU will achieve that
level of confidence, I'm sure. Then there is the image problem: "I
will present you with some SketchUp drawings, madam." (I'm not sure
which of the 57 flavours/ingredients yet,,but) And then there is that
mischievous component, knowing that those Bob-The-Builder and LegoWare
remarks just irk the **** out of some of the thin-skinned class-mates.

Onto my pogo-stick I climbeth and off to make some
countertops.....oops, almost dropped my yo-yo.
