P.S: Can you design/draw directly on the iPad, or just view?


Like someone said (I think elsewhere, and this is paraphrased), waiting
with baited breath for the port of Sketchup for the iPad. But, given the
"love" between google and apple, that bait may become stinky ...


I don't have many pet peeves when it comes to cliches, but that's one of
them.

Try "bated breath".


Hey, give the furriner a break. He couldn't have used the "stinky"
part without his misspelliung.


And no, C-Less, it is just a 3D model viewer which allows you pan, zoom,
and orbit around your model. Three actions that were heretofore
impossible to do outside SU on any device except a computer capable of
running the program itself.


Cool enough.


That's indeed progress ... besides, I can't imagine anyone wanting to
design any custom piece of cabinetry or furniture on anything less than
a computer capable of running the software, and with a mouse/pointing
device attached.


There's that. I was thinking of quick designs to grab new contracts
while in the field. (I process smaller potatoes than your org does,
and I've sold things from a sketch on a 3x5" paper notepad.)
