"Prior to SketchUp, I just made designs with pencil and paper and a couple of general computer applications that were not intended for furniture design.  I felt constrained, and the limitations of the tools were negatively affecting my designs.  I wanted to gain the efficiency of a ""real design tool"" that would allow me to work in three dimensions with a tool set that was purpose-built for detailed illustrations, so I finally made a commitment to learn SketchUp."
