Architects are a very unimaginative lot, many seem to think that the whole world uses AC and if you don’t then you’re in trouble. On the other hand engineers are a much more open group willing to look at other software to find the best solution for them. I’d be very interested to see your drawings, especially because of the SketchUp connection. We now run the re-sellers for SketchUp in Spain, Italy and Eastern Europe, as well as Russia. I think that a toolbox of TurboCAD, SketchUp and possibly Renditioner and Google Earth, would provide tremendous opportunities I’d love the time to be able to play around merging the packages. If you’d like to show your drawings on this site, please let me know, it would be good to be able to show more drawings. Paul ptracey@avanquest.co.uk 01962 835 081 (1) Stuart,

As a one time manual drafter working contract to a very high standard I find Autocad too fussy and full of commands which may be ok for computer buffs but not the true designer/artist. I use Turbocad 3d which is much easier than Autocad. I have recently developed old Victorian drawings of houses [1900`s] into 3d on Turbocad and then into Sketchup. Anyone needing advice I say leave Autocad alone. Hi,
