That will not be that hard. Sketchup seems far more of an architectural aid than anything else. Maybe I'm getting too slow in my dotage, but the interface in Sketchup is not the least bit intuitive to me. I tried to do a piece of furniture, spent 2 or 3 days on it, restarted from scratch about every 30 minutes many times, but gave up when I couldn't find a way to make all the cross braces the same length. Screen motions are so gross I couldn't match within 1/4". And the undo sucks dead toads thru soda straws. 5 levels I think. That will not get you through the first stick. I assume we'll even have prices on the parts library after Monday? > PS - I pointed you at Hackaday rather at DesignSpark directly in order > to give credit where credit is due > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just > $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows > 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
