[Nick W]

I became enthralled with this community as I read the enirety of the fourth longest thread on the old forum (246 Replies - Offence as a defensive strategy - a discussion surrounding the events in the middle east (Israel/Palestine) last fall) and then found out about this site through the old forum. Never got around to signing up there as I saw they were "lowering the boom" on that site. I'm "new".

I had a friend tell his wife my middle name was Boofred. To this day she thinks my real name is Eric Boofred Lay

I'm from the old forum, but I was very new there when all of this came about and never posted. In fact I had only been using Sketchup-pro Ver.5 about a month when Ver.6 came out. I only used the free version for about two weeks before I figured I ought to support this software and company so though I am using "Pro", I am but a very new hand at this.

I have posted twice now, and feel like I should introduce myself. My name is Steve Mackelprang so now you understand why I go by rollin'. Actually rollin45, which is a screen name I have used for many years starting out on AOL when you paid by the minute once over a certain number of minutes per month.

I don't actually use Sketchup for "work", in that I'm a pipefitter/welder and have been for 30 some odd years. I do however enjoy building things and Sketchup is the best thing going for drawing my ideas prior to actually building them. I've tried any number of CAD programs, but it seems I can actually build something faster than I can draw it with the majority of them. Sketchup is a delight to use and I am learning a great deal from you folks. I thank you all for sharing your expertise so freely!!

I generally don't have a great deal to say as I find I learn a whole lot more when I'm listening than when I'm talking, but I may toss in my pennies worth on occasion if I think I can contribute.

I'll go sit in the corner now, but again thanks to all.
