It’s also a good idea to explore free trials of other Architecture Software services seeing that the majority of competitors provide that type of test ride now. You will have a firsthand contact with the tools and components of the service and learn if they fit your needs.

But being neither true Neandertal nor Normite I find pleasure and satisfaction in each techniqie and tool.If you’re not yet convinced that you want to use SketchUp then one of the most effective ways to examine it would be to try the vendor’s free trial or demo period. One is not always a satisfying substitute for the other. Other times, I just want to put in the ear plugs and push a few hundred board feet through the thickness planer, or cut all the peices on the table saw. There are the times when I want to hear nothing but the rhythmic sound of a freshly sharpened saw slicing though a board, or the soft song of a well tuned hand plane stripping the thinnest shaving on a long edge of a board. With whichever software I settle into, I will hope to achieve that level of understanding that allows me to accomplish my task without too much thought as to the technique.īut like anything else, each has its place. I can now probably do it without much thought because I have the experience. I can remember trying to draw iso’s with two triangles and somehow just getting it barely wrong enough to make me toss paper after paper rather than just getting my drawing done. Of course, that all comes with experience. And like a version of software that will not run native on GNU/Linux, any software can get in the way of the creative process when you have to think about it too much.

I am with you on the manual methods, there are plenty of times when just being alone inside your head is best. So that relagates you to running a virtual machine with windows installed into it just to run the software. That is the best case, in reality it will not even run on some GNU/Linux versions even with wine. As long as they are not producing a native version there is something inbetween the program and the OS getting in the way. I disagree Larry, on Sketchup’s agnosticism, at least as far as Linux goes. I am willing to put forth some effort to learn and even read the documentation ( :-) )for a program to use, if it will help my wood working. I have had some Cad experience in the past, as well as 3d modeling, and such in several different programs. I assume it would be a plus, if the replacement would also consume the files shared as Sketchup though I doubt I will get that lucky. What I would like to know is which ones someone might recommend to take the place of what people are using Sketchup to do. I also know there are a plethora of 3D cad and other such graphical drawing and drafting programs available for Linux. Since I do not run Windows on any of my systems, I don’t believe that Sketchup in any of its variants will work as a good tool for me. That said, for reasons that are not necessarily germane to this conversation I have done a lot to remove all Microsoft software from my systems. Let me start by saying that I am not interested in starting a war, and if what I am about to say makes you feel like arguing about operating systems or large software companies motivations or something of that nature, contact me off-line and we can have an open exchange of ideas. Seems that many things are different, and lots of people like to either design or share designs in Sketchup. I am getting back to woodworking after a few years away.
