of course its not on those 6 videsos. but on the same page you can see manual drop dwon there.. if you open the manual of LWCAD 3.0 you will see it there. and by the way that manual is awesome, it has the videos to see how the tools are being used. very user friendly. its better than reading tons of stuff.

Easy. With good parametric and osnap controls. The interface is clean and looks professional.

Not that cheap, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't you need Lightwave to be able to use this? LW is $ 895. Throw in LWCAD, and you're out $ 1194.
Looks like a complex app too, Lightwave.

Actually I think this a fantastic link! The Pat3d and Engraver tools in particular are awesome. Also the roof and wall tools could easily be done in SU. Their ease of use and parametric ability are really impressive.
Definitely some things to inspire the Ruby gurus IMO. The idea behind posting this was to get ideas from other applications, not propose that people move to LWCAD. Lightwave is complex, and most of its workflow is way more complex than SU. It has lots more tools and a much more complicated interface and workflow. However, some of the elements of LWCAD should be easy to implement in SU.
Thanks for the link Bakbek!

Yes the Pat3d and Engraver tools...
