Default Do you use any computer based tool for doing project layout?

perhaps you can explain why...

FWIW, when I /intend/ insult, there's no "thinly veiled" about it.

If you maintain that SketchUp is a superior tool for easily producing
accurate mathematical curves/surfaces in three dimensions (as is the
case in the many of _my_ woodworking projects) adequate for precision
production, then I invite you to produce the evidence - or to expand
your woodworking horizons.


Come now, Morris ... you've proven yourself too smart a fellow to _not_
know exactly what you are about.

I recall taking the time to cobble up and post a SU tutorial model
showing you how to do something with curves which you were unable to
accomplish.

Just because you haven't taken to the time to become proficient with the
program, don't insult the program and, by association, those who have,
with such ignorant remarks.

Nevertheless, I'll spot you the "insult", but the link posted proves
either one of my contentions to be correct, without necessity for
further words.
