I did dload Sketchup but it won't even install with Vista which both
my office pc and laptop are running.

I'll have to dig out my old lappy and give it a whirl. (Or borrow swmbo's

Another tick in the box for ''Dont be an early adopter'' :(

Thanks

Another vote for Google sketchup - I use Catia and Autocad for work but
Sketchup for my
own stuff as usually it will do the job. What's more it's free!
