But that doesn't mean it is sloppy. It just
means it is not as easy to hit the exact numbers you may want as

by precise numerical inputs instead of mouse actions.


You hit it right on the head. That's why it's not suitable as CAD, even
though it's an extremely useful system for visual presentation.

And although I might not have made it clear... that was my whole point on
base-1.

Lloyd, you simply do not know how to use Sketchup to its extents. Your
comments show your ignorance about Sketchup. I'm not trying to belittle
you but most every thing you have mentioned about Sketchup is inaccurate.

Again, I switched from AutoCAD to Sketchup about 6~8 years ago because I
get the same needed resolution and accuracy.

I am a woodworker and routinely work with pieces that measure in 1/8"
resolution however the program is quite capable of accurately and quite
quickly drawing a box that is 4 1/16 x 5 3/64 x 9 19/32.

don't knock the program until you actually learn how to use it, not just
play around with it.


I would be more than willing to show you some detailed drawing that I
have done with Sketchup.
