Thanks for your reply:

If you don't want to re-invent the wheel, how about hiring someone off this forum to do it for you? You could collaborate with an expert, and wouldn't have to learn the entire program for yourself. Especially if, as you say, you don't possess the native talents that draw people to this kind of software, then your learning curve may be significantly longer than average. I think I've seen on some people's siggies that they are "for hire..."

Umm, it's for a public-service website, and the implication "unpaid/unfunded/shoestring" is completely intended.

There are lots of SketchUp tutorials and videos to help you learn it, if that's the way you want to go. Sounds like an interesting project. Good luck with it!

Yeah, it's a huge amount of material to sort through to find relevant training material, and I haven't been very successful at it so far.

I was kind of hoping to find a group of people somewhere doing similar work.

Thanks,
