	For me it was the opposite.<G> I thought they were meant primarily for 
math mode, and only found out they work in regular mode when I posted 
the Wikibook links...

Welcome to my humble home.

This took 11 minutes to draw. And no, the house isn't *really* that 
God-awful colour...

[And no, technically it's my mum's house.]

  Why does this remind me vividly of The Sims 2?

I don't know. Does The Sims 2 feature horrific colour schemes and badly 
drawn stairs?

Well, no. It's not as fancy as yours. It comes in a nice shade of beige.

Ah, OK.

I was actually purposefully going for a retro look, if only because back 
in the old days straight lines were cool.

(The colours were so I can tell WTF I'm looking at while I model it. 
SketchUp isn't very easy to navigate...)

It's much better at architectural creations than Blender.  Blender and 
other polygonal-based modellers are not the right tool for product 
design either.  That truly demands fine and precise NURBS tools.

Which is not to say Blender makes it easy, but it's not *too* bad.

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

I've learned to use that technique too.  Sketchup still has a large edge 
over it.
