GOOGLE SKETCHUP Is Great!

[Joe Jones]

I make training videos for designEdge. This is an introduction t Google SKETCHUP. It is a fantastic program for planning, and designing everything from a simple box to a complete building.

Checked out your video Joe. Looks like a good program, have heard about it for years but never checked it out.

It is a very powerful 3D drawing program that is dirt simple to use. If you are going to design something like a computer cabinet out of sheet metal, or maybe build a desk, or a bookshelf, or a redwood deck, or whatever, it really does help you build in on the computer BEFORE you build it.

I have no memory, so I have to re-learn software that I haven't used in a while, but this program is easy to learn.

Can this be used to transfer work over to sheet cam?

[Joe Jones]

Hmmm... I will do a quick experiment and get back to you...

I will keep fighting with it, but thus far ... NO JOY.

If you're a SketchUp Pro user, you can import or export CAD files, which use the . dwg or . dxf file formats.
