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

Sketchup takes a bit to get used to, also. I had to take the time to get
used to the 3D aspect, but didn't find anything too difficult. The
interface is a little quirky as well, but not terrible. (Zooming, for
example, is done by selecting the Zoom tool and moving the mouse up or
down.)


At minimum, a mouse with a wheel works better for most any modern
software of this type. All you have to do to zoom is move the wheel, or
hold it down and move it, and the mouse, to zoom and orbit.

There are a lot of other "input" devices used by CAD jockeys that work
well also.
