Have heart ... you really only need to know about 30%, or less, of SU's
capability in order to fully utilize the program for woodworking projects.

Many folks simply miss the reality of learning software that can
increase your productivity, thinking that you have to become a
proverbial "expert" with the software to get any benefit.

That is simply not true ... all your need to do to is master those
elements that allow you to use the software to suit your particular needs.

Just learn to draw the damned parts to your project individually ... a
woodworking project is mostly nothing more than a collection of simply
"boards", after all.

That perceived "uphill battle" is not nearly as challenging ... IOW,
learn to draw a damned tubafour and you're 90% there.

Understand what your saying & it was that way with Autocadd, I learned
how to do what I needed for doing electrical plans and never was an
expert. I'm still under the 30%. I'm just getting comfortable with
the 3D aspect of drawing and use of the most common drawing tools. I'm
slowly moving forward but at least the frustratiion is still very low.
