Hi Deannos
Sketchup is great. This link will take you to a thread on cnczone of a guy that started from scratch and learnt sketch up. Worth a read.

For a true autocad clone then progecad smart (free) is very good indeed for cad design although only in 2d and rudimentary 3d. There is quite a learning curve for autocad but for simple work it is not to hard. This is the best clone I have seen for free.

Keep asking questions. I do and it is beginning to get me in the right direction. Stick with it here becauce these guys are the best.

Hi Bruce,

I was reading that very thread only this morning, a very good build considering it was built in his bedroom. I have just found some tutorials on sketchup, and it doesn't look to hard.

I managed to do the chair as they show it, so getting there.
