Is it just me, or is Sketchup absolutely bloody fantastic?

It took maybe 20 years for 3D software to be truly what it should be.

mmh... could it be that you needed 12 years of these twenty years, to realize this? i mean... sketchup is available since quite a while now... since 2000 if i remember correctly

And then there are those days when SU just does not want to achieve the result in your head.

Ah well, I have that with pencil (or as a matter of fact, with my wife) too.

And as your wife will tell you, it all comes down to "operator error"!

The problem with comparing a wife to SU is a complex one. (Natch)

With the proper finesse you can get either one to behave in a manner you'd expect. (Yeah, right!!!)

SU has multiple Icons and commands that do specific tasks, and for the most part, they are documented and straight forward.

And there are copious plug-ins to enhance SU's functionality.

A wife.......... The buttons you push, at least the ones you know about, do things differently every time you push them. In many cases, quite unpredictably as well.

No documentation, at least none to the specific version you got, as if you get the chance to read any documentation before you push a button.

Forget "UNDO". It doesn't work. Really.... I've tried, many many many times.

And don't get me started with trying to install a plug-in.
