Sketchup Garages

I stumbled upon this in a different forum and it looked like something that might appeal to those of us that have a little engineering bug. This is the OP from the other forum:

Design a garage in Google SketchUp (available for download at Sketchup), then take a screen shot of it and post it here.

If you need some help getting started (you will if you're anything like me), check out some of their video tutorials at sketchup training. I highly recommend you watch them if you haven't used this program before.

This program is lots of fun and useful if you are planning on building anything. You can download all kinds of stuff to put into your drawing like plants, vehicles, etc. but everything I did was just with the program as-is. I have seen a couple garage designs posted on here made with this program so if you already have one post it up!

It really isn't as hard as it looks.

I have tried to use sketchup and the learning curve was steep at first but they may have updated it now to make it easier. Good post Pete i am going to give it a try.

yeah, I found it late last night, so I haven't had a chance to mess with it, but I'd like to try it for my garage and maybe the landscaping too if it's not too cumbersome to use
