Quote - I find myself thinking about how cool it would be to model something a lot more than I actually wind up modelling anything.

Heh, I know that tune.

I have a bit of a dilemma in that it would cost me about the same to upgrade my Sketchup3 to version 5 as it would to rejoin the P. Club and pick up Hexagon. I can see from the Eovia videos that Hexagon is way more capable; and that Sketchup is way more easy to use. Am I better off stuggling with learning something powerful that is difficult to use, or stuggling with making something that is easy to use stretch to its maximum? Given my Bryce experience, I'm inclined to choose the latter.

I'll take a couple of weeks or so to mull it over. User experience of Hexagon (results versus difficulties) will have an influence.

And there's always Wings. I even printed out the manual. But I find it deeply horrible... ;-)
