This might interest the group here. I've been using this free version of Google Sketchup to draw things. It is a great program for envisioning projects. A couple of free project plans from woodworking sites now give out models of their plans for this program.

I've been planning to expand my workshop. No budget yet so I'm doing it in virtual reality :)

I also assembled my current boat project

Hmm... based on your screen dumps, this Google Sketch Up (http://sketchup.google.com/) looks interesting... downloading now.;) Thanks lncc63. And the best thing, it's free...
