Do you use any computer based tool for doing project layout?
I have always designed my projects using graph paper, ruler, pencil, and
(lots of) eraser. I have a somewhat more complicated job I want to do now. There is a design for an entertainment center in FWW that I want to adapt. I would like to take the measurements from the article, enter them on a computer somehow, and then change the things I want. I have a friend who uses Google Sketchup. He found it awkward to use and not that sophisticated. I don't want to invest the money and a lot of learning time on a CAD program unless I can get a recommendation on this group for a product that one of you likes to use. Should I stick to my paper, pencil, and eraser? TIA. Dick Snyder |
