      Classes start this Saturday and I think the 18 seats were filled in one or two days. There is a waiting list.

                    I'll say it again..when and I do mean "when" someone comes up with a drawing/input method for Blender that works like SU..it's GAME OVER! I love SU and have been using it since v3 but Blender is just growing in leaps and bounds!

                      There are currently some pretty good drawing tools and 2.90 version brings an even better version of push/pull than SU s shown below. Plus there's going to be a while new set of CAD like snapping tools as well in 2.9

                        What about Construction Documents (CD's) from the models, has anybody figured out how do those with Blender yet?

                          No. If you need Layout type capabilities, then SU is your best choice

                            That's certainly a step in the right direction.

                              What exactly is better SU's PushPull? How do you input exact PP values?
                              And I didn't see even once that external object was used as reference (for PP).

                                If you watch the video, you'll see Blender's PP removed some unusual cases for interior coplanar faces, which SU cannot do.

                                There is a VCB like region where you can enter in values.

                                Snapping is possible, you just have to turn it on (unlike SU where you can't turn it off).

                                I'm not interested in creating a SketchUp vs. Blender fan thread. if you enjoy SketchUp and how it works then good for you and best of luck.

                                  So I need to move cursor this value field, click there and enter exact numbers every time I push-pull?

                                    No, you can type while PP just like SU.

                                    If you want to know specific workflows for comparison's sake, consider downloading the beta and learning for yourself.
