Sketchup drawing and finished project

[pe2dave]

Interesting code, is that Fusion's own or based on something else? I don't know Sketchup well enough to know if I could use any kind of calculations in that. I looked at the Fusion site and see that it is an Autodesk product. I practiced with AutoCad many years ago as a bit of a hobby when I was building PCs for friends and came across a dodgy copy. It looks like Fusion might be a better product to use when I get round to buying a CNC router.

Autocad is a magic piece of software. It is a bit eyewatering though when they mention prices.
For 2D you might look at qcad. Similar interface, open and paid options.

I am trying to get sketchup free but get to the stage where it says it is sending a link to my e-mail, but never happens. Tried 2 different e-mails. Any idease please?

Go to this address (you will need to create an account), then download Sketchup Make 2017. The rest of the versions on that page are Pro (expensive). The newer free version s(available elsewhere) are now web based and don't have the same functionality. I would post the .exe here but I doubt if the site would let me, it is 148Mb.

There is masses of stuff on youtube, but this chap is quite good. You can find anything from absolute beginner to very advanced stuff there.
