[TheForge] Sketchup

[Saint Phlip]

Yeah, I've been using it, fairly frequently. It's pretty user
friendly, but it's a lot better to use for making something that LOOKS
like (for example) a table, rather than actually BUILDING a table.

That said, I'd be happy to send you off a file that shows what I came
up with when I was designing/arranging my new apt.It was pretty
helpful for figuring out what I had to work with, and fitting it in a
sensible arrangement.

Heat it up
Hit it hard
Repent as necessary.

It's the smith who makes the tools, not the tools which make the smith.
