There is NO functional difference in the Free and Pro versions when it

The difference is in importing/exporting, and presentation using the

So I've heard as well, but then how do you explain this:

http://sketchup.google.com/support/b...n&answer=95602

where it tells me to "Select any rectangle tool" (where it shows four
different icons, one of which is the rounded rectangle I'd love to
select), but my free version of SketchUp only has one. This functionality
is apparently part of the "LayOut" product:

The above link leads to "Beyond Sketchup Layout. The 4 icons "may" only be
a part of the pro version but they may also be available as an add on.

Anyway with the free version use the rectangle tool that you actually have
and draw a rectangle. Place an arc in each of the corners using the arc
tool. Then erase the 4, 90 degree corner points of the rectangle. Then use
the push tool to give that shape the depth/height you desire.

You may actually be trying too hard.
