GBGallardo Report post Posted May 16, 2010 This program is badass!!! Thanks for showing me Wiggs now I'm gonna get nothing else done Anyways you can download it here: http://sketchup.google.com/ I'm not going to go into too much detail about the program itself, but people have created cars, houses, buildings, EVERYTHING to import and you can create a to-scale 3D model. I haven't tried it yet, but I guess you can then export to Google Earth and place it on a map and see it in 3D with other buildings how it would look / if the land is big enough, etc...wow I'm just getting the hang of it but here is something to what my future garage will look like: And Wiggs: While these might look boring...actually navigating around and using the camera view to 'walk' through is pretty cool!

DickSimmons Report post Posted May 16, 2010 I used this recently to accurately furnish my deck and determine the ideal sizes. I found the program control to be a bit awkward wrt translation. Might be because I'm using a laptop, but things just snapped and moved oddly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.Wiggs Report post Posted May 18, 2010 I'm an idiot. I don't know why I didn't think of IMPORTING a lift instead of making one!!! Yeah, I saw the SV on there but didn't know how to scale...until recently!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
