      I am finding it incredibly hard to work in cad after modeling my last house in SU.
      All the editing of stuff... and selection of entities and pens, and bounding boxes, colors and layers...is driving me to boredom....I can't concentrate anymore!

          I picked up (looked at) a writing Ruby book at the book store, It didn't look like much fun to me! But I dont understnad all the lisp and sigmacs very much either. That ruby book was about 3 in. think and read like a abstract algebra book.

            I can totally relate. Now that our office uses Revit as well as SketchUp, anytime I have to go back to Autocad or heaven forbid, Datacad I get really frustrated.

              BOOOO Dude, you'll scare the kids! cool face.
              I have really been enjoying the 3d detailing and have been having to make myself stop drawing the little stuff.
              Is revit, as absorbing or as effective as SU, cause , I am thinking revit is principally the same and if you build all the little stuff and detail it in revit, before you know it you will have a completed set of plans...but better controlled, and you wont have to kick it back into cad for line weights, duplicate lines, layer control etc.
              Good to see you back Eric.

              add: I dont need to go into the whole benes of this and that softwaare, I have used up all the free trials of revit I could figure out how to get and still havent had the time to learn it very well. But I will.

                Well it is almost Halloween 👿

                SketchUp is much more intuitive than Revit. That said, Revit is much more powerful.
                As far as all the small details, you can get as detailed as you want to with Revit but the beauty is that you don't have to.
                I don't want to go back to Autocad if I don't have to if that tells you antyhing.
                I am still searching for that perfect workflow fit for SketchUp and Revit.
