The pro will give you lots of extra 3D functionality and still be OK with windows 7. Bit you will need to call me to order, as it's not on the site. Paul Eric,

In the US everyone uses it for all the reasons that are obvious to both yourself and me. I just wish that I had more time to do grand projects with it rather than constantly introducing it to a new audience. Paul Thanks Belu

Genuinely, this has changed my life, saved me hours and my clients £££s! I'm a freelance architectural designer. Recently I upgraded my system to 64-bit windows 7 and lifted my head up from Architectural Desktop to see what was around for the first time in years. I trialled the free version of SketchUp and went pro within the hour! For concept work, as I'm doing right now, this software, together with Layout is genius. I was up and running within hours. 3D presentations are generated in a fraction of the time it used to take me. It's not a CAD substitute, but switching in and out of CAD is very easy, basically its a fantastic 3-D add-on. Should any curious designer read this...Get it!! Thanks Paul & well done Google!

I can’t think of any other reason for this. You could try downloading DoubleCAD, the free version, from www.doublecad.co.uk, then saving it as a previous version. There should be no problem wth what you are trying to do. If you could give me a call, I’ll go through the alternatives for you. Paul 01962 835 081 ex 1 Brian,

I volunteered to carry out some 'as built' modifications to carriageway drawings (Autocad 2008 compositions) and I thought Turbocad v15 would be suitable. I've figured out how to manipulate existing objects to a certain extent but when I save and close the file I can't open it up again. The dialogue box advises 'Failed to open...(file name)...illegal format'. I tried a test by simply adding one circle to the drawing, closing it then attempting to open it up again. Even this trivial modification resulted in the same error message. Any idea ht my problem might be? I am a fairly novice CAD user but have spent some time using IMSI’s Floorplan 3D.

Is there a list of compatible/recommended gfx cards? Thanks Konrad Hello Paul

Or give me your number and a time to call. Paul 01962 835 081 ex 1 Mike,
