Thats a mighty big beer, B2B

yet another addict finds another way to express his ideas with this great little prog...

SketchUp is so easy to use that we have now loaded it onto our school network... so guess who can play with it at work!

AM, I hope your boss never finds this website LOL

ooo.. point

This was in the Sketchup email sent to users yesterday; VectorWorks is the program I work on, heh.

WHAT'S NEW
I thought I'd lead off with a great letter we received a few weeks ago. Peter Gulick, an architect in New York, writes:
"Last night we had a friend's daughter sleep over, she is 5 years old, and just finished kindergarten. I was working on my computer, looking at a plan in Vectorworks, and she comes over to see what I'm doing. I zoom in and out quick, thinking she might like that. "That's kind of boring," she says, "where's the bedroom?" Tough crowd.
Then she says, "do you have SketchUp?" I was thinking, maybe she was talking about some kids' drawing program, the kind where you can draw, paint, spray whipped cream on stuff, etc. Remember--she's 5. So I launched SketchUp (I have an evaluation copy) and when it's on screen she gets excited and says "oh I know what these all are (pointing to the icons), I'm going to make a building," and pushes me out of my chair. Then she makes a few circles and rectangles, pushes and pulls them, and in a few minutes makes her "building".
Wow. Then I show her how to make the sun and shadows move across the building, and turn on the "xray", put a person in the building, etc. "It doesn't look so good like that," she says after my changes, "you should put it back the way I had it." Yes ma'am."

Kids are alot of fun, and you never know what they will come up with. It does really show how great the program is that even a 5 yr. old can do it. Either that or she is a genius.

My kids are a bit older..I have been getting plans for their homes........
Just got to get mine finished first
