Our Project Plans/CAD Software forum has received well over 7,000 posts over the course of its lifetime and while we have absolutely no intention of ever getting rid of it, I’ve introduced a new forum folder simply titled “SketchUp” into the mix.
One of my jobs here at FWW.com is to make information easier to find, and “Project Plans/CAD Software” is not exactly the best title for a forum that primarily centers itself around the use of SketchUp. We didn’t want to simply re-title the existing forum, since that might throw a lot of people off and cause some confusion, so, the simple solution was to start a new forum.
Consider our SketchUp forum as yet another virtual place to gather, discuss, learn, and brag about SketchUp tips, tricks and techniques.
I myself will most certainly be lurking in there, as I’ve resolved to get a handle on the software this year. I’m tired of dragging around pencils, erasers, rulers, and paper. I’d much rather sit down at the computer with a cold beer and have software create all those beautiful images of the furniture I intend to build.
Cheers and as always, thanks for reading!

I'm glad to see the addition of this section. I'm just learning to use SketchUp and will check the listings often.

Jim - I'm right there with ya, as I myself am making an effort to learn the program as well.
Thanks!

Larry,
Nice model. May I play? I tapered all the legs the same, added the chamfers on the top of the back posts as well as on the ends of the through tenons. I ommitted the plate to reduce the file size.
Jim,
I'll also be looking in and if you want a hand, I'd be happy to help.
I've essentially been playing with the software for the past couple of months - nothing serious - just trying to familiarize myself with the various tools. I do get frustrated from time-to-time but that's just a result of ignorance and has nothing to do with the program being poorly designed or anything. What I really need to do is sit down for a good two or three hourse and watch a bunch of the official video tutorials. Of course, that requires time - something I don't have a lot of these days. LOL
Best,
Ed
Ed, I sent you an e-mail about doing something to help you get to grips with SketchUp. Hopefully it got through.
