I'd forgotten that I, too, have a friend (in an NYC architectural firm) who recommends Google's Sketchup. I've not used it.
I daydream about being able to walk around the house snapping photos and feeding them to some app where I click on key points while specifying dimensions and such, from which the app then deduces the entire layout and generates a manipulable wire-frame, 3d renderings, a materials list, etc, etc. [ IIRC, I may have seen a gizmo on This Old House that will scan a room with a laser and do many of the things in my wish list, but it's probably expensive and almost certainly not Linux-related. ] _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
