Default Sketchup Desk Drawing

I for the first time used Sketchup with a purpose and in about 2 hours
managed to draw this desk to scale. I previously drew this desk on
AutoCAD
LT and did an Isometric drawing for my customer.

Which is the biggest void I have been able to fill with Sketchup,
showing the client a likeness of the finished product. I was also able to
produce drawings that satisfied the City of Houston for permitting.
Below is one of the Skethcup drawings I was able to produce for the
clients and below that a photo of the finished product.


Damn! ... who needs an architect with a Sketchup pro like you around!! G

Well done ... can't wait to gain some more proficiency with the program. It
is almost as fun as woodworking. Hell, all you have to do is go out to the
shop and do in wood, what you did in bits/bytes.


I have tried to use sketch up but it seems that I spend all of my time
making the dimensioned wood that I use in the project. Is there a
library of standard dimensioned lumber, 1X2, 1X6, etc. that can be
accessed for sketch up?
