"SketchUp" a coop

You can have objects maintain independance by making them into components. You have to be really diligent about it though. I love sketchup for what it is. It is definitly not Autocad. I use sketchup for woodworking plans and I have also used it to design about 25 coops so far. Still have not built one of them because I have not gotten it right yet.

Getting there though.

Yah, well, AutoCAD frustrates me too.... it's just glorified drafting.

I much prefer ArchiCAD, as it's a modeling program with pre-set components, and with a minimum of tweaking, generates a model from properly set up floorplans. Brilliant!

I love Sketchup for what it is, but I never could figure out enough of it to work quickly in it. Maybe I'll try it again to design my kitchen cabinets.
