Basically for wood working this is going to be the easiest and most
competent program to design your projects.


Way cool program.

I posted my first result with SketchUp at
alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking, as Subject: First SketchUp (pdf file),
in case anyone wants to see what you can do with it in an hour or so...

I have a LOT to learn, but the potential is evident...

Excellent first effort ... take to heart what Leon said on the wRec
about making component parts ... the secret to using SU effectively for
woodworking projects.

With regard to whether your proclivity is "artist" or "engineer",
oftentimes you have no choice.

Attached is a pdf of the SketchUp file I did last year during the
planning stages of the South wall of a kitchen, and a photo of that
recently finished South wall, 8 months later.

A good illustration of what you can do with the free program,
particularly when you have a client involved in the design and they
actually end up getting what they saw during the planning stage.

Makes for a happy client, and good referrals ....
