[AT] Another OT computer related but could be tractor friendly

Some time back I mentioned Google Sketch-up.  I played with this for a time 
and gave it up.  Then  I reloaded it and this time I actually looked at the 
tutorials and some online video instructions plus I bought Google Sketch up 
for dummies.

If any of you are interested in conceptual drawings of buildings, models, or 
most anything you should try this software.  Use the tutorial that comes 
with it and go online to this site 
Http://sketchup.google.com/gsu5vtvideos.html and kill  an hour or so looking 
at the videos.  They are done by the same guy, Aidan Chopra, that wrote 
Sketch-up for Dummies.  After about 4 or 5 hours of learning curve you'll be 
amazed at what you can do with the software.
It will be a good way to spend some cold winter days in a month or so.  I 
have a couple of projects I'm trying to design with it.  I've also used it 
to build "as built" drawings for some modifications I did at a tank farm 
recently.

Sorry if I'm boring anyone with this off topic but I hate not to pass it 
along.  If you want to build a barn or tractor shed and want to know what it 
will look like when it's done this is the way to find out.

If anyone is interested I'll be glad to go into it further off list.
