    Playing around with Sketchup because I am too broke to continue my real Tacoma. I was surprised how many things are already modeled on this program. Curious to see if others have done this with other programs. Here is my start sorry for the crappy pictures but you get the idea.

    I've wondered if anyone else was using this software. I just started using it after I no longer have access to AutoCADD. Do any of the vendors use this software? @KB Voodoo @Mobtown Offroad

    We use SolidWorks and Draftsight. I've played around with Sketchup but it's no where near powerful enough to do what we need.

    I've never heard of it. Looks neat though.

    Yeah Sketchup starts to slow down once you add a considerable amount of components or groups I guess they are called. I started learning on this program so it is fun to go back and mess around. I have since finished that build ^. I forgot I even posted this. Here are some pics of the finished truck.

    Could you PM me this file? That would be cool to have and start playing around with.
