Is this made in the demo version?
I reckon this is the registered version, seeing how you
exported to the .pdf file.
I can't justify paying the $495 to register.
Let us know.
The free download version can do just about anything (maybe more than) you would need it to do unless you are a professional architect or draftsman. There is no need to go for the registered version. It is perfect for woodworkers to be able to see a 2D/3D model of their projects and all the measurements are to scale to boot. The only problem is the steep learning curve due to the programs ability to do so much. I think it is well worth the time to learn and there is a ton of how-to's and self-paced training available on line.

In the past I downloaded some Sketch up files others had made but never really spent much time with it other than scrolling around the object. Is there a way to ouput each individual piece with it's dimensions, etc., or is there more work to do that?

Yes Tim there is. The PDF plans that I've posted are all generated out of one SketchUp file. There are layers and scenes in SketchUp. You can assign items to individual layers and turn layers on and off and rotate the model for individual scenes. You can have the entire model shown for a 3D view, then have a scene for each individual piece-part, and dimension that part in that scene. Each scene can be output individually as JPGs, which is what I did and then imported them into Corel to make the pages and publish the PDF.
