Well after having a bit of good news that a friend who is an architect (after Dave R mentioned it's more an architect package) I was suprised to find he has several CAD packages and .... Sketchup. He was nice to lend me his package as he isn't using it at the moment. This means I can now practice without reinstalling (don't worry, I'm not doing copyright theft as it's not installed on Lloyd's PC atm and I'll delete it when I give it back :wink: ).
So here are a few things that I think would be useful to learn in sketchup.
1. Alignment.
One thing I REALLY find irritating about Sketchup is aligning things. For instance I built a carcase and wanted to insert partitions inside the carcase. Whenever I try to move them inside the silly things jump all over the place. Is there any hints to deal with alignment.
2. Exploded Diagram
Is it possible to explode the models to see parts that are hidden in an assembled unit.
3. Drawers
Is there an easy way to build drawers in Sketchup. Most of the time I try they come across the alignment problem.
