'It's hard to switch modellers though, it's a complex, long-term relationship you're forging and you've really got to invest a lot of time and effort in getting the right fit.'

Hehehehe - ain't that the truth! lol :)

I was very impressed with SketchUp too - in fact more impressed with this app than I've been in a long while. I still need to spend more time with it to feel comfortable. I didn't really plan on making finished models with it though. I thought it would serve better as a fast prototyping tool. You could work up a fast schematic for your model and then use another modeling app to actually make the model. For architectural models this seemed like a good plan because you could see at a glance how things will fit together before you actually started on the finished model. It's much easier to edit your SketchUp models rather than make the same trial and error edits in a modeler like MAX for example :)

Well I finally installed Hexagon and couldn't do much with it so I guess I'll need to read the PDF manual that came with it  groan :) Oh well, it's not too long at least.
