Do NOT install Google Sketchup at 10:30 PM. This will not end well...

Haha... Hmm, Sketckup is a lot of fun, but as soon as you try to do
something complicated, it becomes maddeningly annoying to use. (Most
especially camera placement. Try zooming around inside a large building.
Good luck figuring out where the **** the camera is and what it's
actually looking at!)

There is a guy at the tc-rtc called chandan who is using Sketckup. See:

Suffice it to say, it's frickin' HUGE!
Also: Moving objects around is almost intractably hard. Seriously.

I ordered stamps from Zazzle that read "Place Stamp Here".

It's certainly higher than most goth cathedrals... :)

welcome to 3D visual modelling! :D
There must be something similar to Blender, where you may organize objects by
layer (and select visible ones) and also may focus on editing certain parts of
an object while others are hidden. Makes quite a difference.

*That* is what I want Minority Report gloves for! :-)
Move over and use the Spex.

Both Moray and Bishop3D have layers whose properties can be visible in the GUI
and/or Renderer (Pov). And you can adjust the OpenGL clipping.

Well... It's only 100 meters tall. (That's about 300 feet or something,
right?) The central tower is higher though.

Fair play to SketchUp; this is the first time I've ever managed to model
something more complex than a few spheres and cylinders in CSG.
The fun part is this: Say you want to add a window. So you draw a shape,
fiddle with it, and then cut it out. Oh, wait, that's not quite in the
right spot. OK, well I'll just... ah. Once you *cut* the window, you
lose all ability to modify it any further. You can't edit the original
curve any more, because it doesn't exist.
Now, sure, if your window is rectangular, the push/pull tool makes it
easy enough to continue. But what if you made a *circular* window? Or
some even more complex shape?...

Yeah, SketchUp allows you to hide parts that you're not interested in.
(They're still affected by certain edit operations though...)
