Yeah buddy.

Having a strong background in CAD, I first starting using SketchUp about
eight years ago, and shortly thereafter built a $350k construction
budget residence, using it to provide the framing plan and all
permitting, bidding and construction documents (in conjunction with
Layout), I quickly became a believer in the programs power and versatility.

At that time not a single architect I worked with had heard of the
program. Things have changed, and folks like this architect have taken
SketchUp to a new level, architecturally speaking:

AAMOF, I'm currently actively advising an architect on use of the
program, as well as Layout, as we speak, which is poetic justice ... as
it is damned hard for a General Contractor/Builder to teach an architect
anything.
