SketchUp is to SolidWorks as Mantua is to River Raisin. My Mantua HO locomotives got a certain job done, as long as I didn't look too closely.
SketchUp does some things well, and if you stay within those things, it is great, and it is free. Any CAD program requires not only that you work long enough to get through the learning curve, but that you keep it up. I made a few drawings, then didn't touch it for two months - when I tried a new drawing, it was back to the tutorials. I curious about some feedback here about Shapeways. They use several different materials. Does anybody know if the higher detail materials still come out grainy (or whatever the complaints were)? -Michael Eldridge --- In [email protected], Pieter Roos <pieter_roos@...> wrote: > For those not wanting to duplicate Bill's investment, the Shapeways site has > info on doing the 3D work in Google's free, on-line SketchUp software > > http://sketchup.google.com/intl/en/ < and converting the resulting files to > something usable by Shapeways.
