<font face="Arial">We started using Sketch Up several years ago. Our
Master Carpenters really like it. As a community theatre group not
all of our set designers do computer drawings so our carpenters
take them and do them in Sketch Up to plan their work. All of them
have learned it from the Youtube videos.<br>

it, </font>I need to get busy and fully learn it. <br>
I have only seen one lighting designer use it and they were happy
with it. Since we will be moving into a new facility in a few
years I do need to get busy and learn it.<br>

any of you all using SketchUp as your main CAD software? We're
still working on getting updated from VW12.5. Likely in a lab
environment... The school likes the price tag.

Based on the YouTube intro videos, I'm not convinced the lighting
guys will like it as much as VWX Spotlight or the ACAD package of
lighting tools (which name slips my mind).

Feel free to PM me if you'd rather avoid the potential flame war
of whose platform is better.
