Thanks...I will try the camera view first in the free version. Right now I am looking to do very basic floor plans to play around with furniture size, etc... show the client some ideas but nothing to be presented formally.

I am an interior designer and would like to use sketch up to draw floor plans (2D), is this possible on the regular version or do I need pro? I am pretty familiar with CAD and was hoping it would work similarly to do this sort of thing?
thanks!
