Nope, won't run under Wine. Using CrossOver Office for a number of apps, but Sketchup won't work.

Doesn't always work that way. As I pointed out above, the same thing could have occurred with a meter/kilometer interface error (or cm / meter interface discrepancy). This isn't just a refusal on the part of one group to adapt to someone else's units. In real-time embedded systems, it is often the case that various order of magnitude selections are made in order to preserve numerical precision in calculations. So, if a certain control requires cm or other small unit precision, it is not practical to use that order of magnitude for guidance that is working in km due to numeric overflow issues.
I haven't seen the failure review report, but it is possible that the units chosen made sense because of available data and the units in those databases. Usually decisions made have some rational basis, particularly in projects of this magnitude. The problem is that sometimes those decisions don't get appropriately communicated between groups working on subsystems of those very large projects.

These were all free, IIRC ... I don't remember ever spending a penny on plug-ins.
I rarely use most except for construction stuff, mainly for stairs, floor joists, and frame walls with windows, doors and headers for same. These were all free, if I'm not mistaken.
The cutlist plugin (free), which exports to CutListPlus, is something I do use for woodworking, and I'm pretty sure that Leon makes good use of it also.

Cutlists are way cool. The one I now use allows for grain orientation, tool diameter, etc. (I'm sorry, it is a bit of a drive-by)

I saw the $79 price on the grab-it-all from sMustard, so I thought you might have done that.
Even better!
Bueno, bwana.
I'll definitely be installing SketchUp on the new box, if I EVER get to it. With all this rain, I'm happy to have a couple new websites to do right now.

Knight in their gallery. He evidently has a ShopBot and V-carve.
I was very impressed with SoftPlan's cutlist and BOM listings. It's roughly $3k, as is ChiefArchitect. (Scratch those, damnit.)
OK, SketchUp free version it is.

Knighttools is a well respected participant on more than one forum. Even though I don't run a Shopbot, I get most of my 'inside scoop' from their sign making forum. The Vectric forum is also very useful and more specific to their software. Those Vectric people are some very fine folk. (BTW, the Partsworks pgm that comes with ShopBot is a Vectric product.)

Just playing around with a video capture program this moring, so I made its maiden voyage with quickie "Sketchup Mattress Tutorial" VIDEO for you. :)

I say, it's a quickie by a noob with the software, and bit different from the other one, but it may get across the point that there is more than one way to skin a cat in SketchUp.

Youtube was kind enough to ask me what else you posted. Hence I got to see part deux.
That's pretty impressive there brother Karl. *S* Can it output to a large format printer as well? If so, how big will it go at what resolution?

Danke ... I asked Dave Richards at FWW's "Design, Click, Build" blog what he was using as video screen capture software, and he was kind enough to reply back with "Snagit":

'm just giving it a trial run. Not much of a learning curve and simple to operate. It does allow configurable printer options, but I haven't delved into that yet.
I've been using in on my little Dell XPS10 laptop with the built-in mic, not a single hiccup (other than operator error) thus far.
I'm trying to determine what blending of technologies is going to fit in well with the new website we're designing for the the home and kitchen cabinet business.
These is all guinea pig fodder ... I kinda feel like the old days when I was playing bass live in the control room, while recording 7 pieces on the other side of the glass, and being engineer and producer at the same time.
Something's gotta suffer ...
