Great Review by Moo

The other review citing "pretty good product - takes a lot of time to learn blah blah blah " is referring to SKETCHUP, not the e-book. These reviews should be for the BOOK. ALL software has a learning curve as does ALL of human endeavor, period. If somebody thinks the software will use itself they are sadly mistaken. THat said - you won't find anything more user-friendly than SketchUp Can it be complicated - yes - but it's 10% as complicated as the typical "CAD" software with a much smaller toolset to learn.

SketchUp is not a "pretty good" anything - it's a pioneering, earth-shattering approach to computer-aided design, and it deserves 10 stars out of 5. The e-Books Tim K. cooks up are equally high quality and deserve as many stars as you can give them. I hate these reviews that 1) Damn with faint praise ('pretty good') and are completely uninformed. Buy SketchUp Pro - it's worth 10x the $500 they ask for it - and seek out/purchase all of Tim' resources, which are also under-priced.

Pretty good design product. Takes a lot of time/work to learn to use. That's just the nature of the beast.
