		<description>Hi again, David --

I just noticed in your illustration that you also have two of these desks, mirror images.  Could you please send the models for both?

THANKS!

		<description>Hi, David --

I was googling looking for a 3D model of my Ikea desk, and there it was!  Well, actually it&#039;s your desk but it&#039;s the same thing.

Could you please share that model with me?  THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!

By the way, in my office (I work at home) I have two of those desks, mirror images to each other.  They&#039;re placed with the short arms adjoining, so it makes a big U.  I can reach everything, and I&#039;m captain of my little universe. :)

I&#039;ve only made one object in SketchUp, a train station/coffee shop.  It turned out great, but I have to tweak it because Google has some noodly rules about how the roof is supposed to look.  There was a bit of a learning curve; I think some of the tools are a little odd.  But wow, it does nice work.

Have you tried SweetHome3D?  It&#039;s free and it runs on Windows, Mac or the web.  In quick explorations, it seemed VERY easy and very satisfying to make a building, but it has some weird gaps.  For example, taking a photo of a wall and then using it to quickly add reality to a model was super-easy in SketchUp, but nasty in SweetHome3D.

My current goal is to make a 3D model of the interiors in my house.  We are going to be moving soon, so that would make a nice souvenir.

In any case, I hope you don&#039;t mind sharing your model of that Ikea desk.

Thanks, and best wishes!

		<description>Sometimes I find it helpful to create a mockup using material such cardboard which gives you the look and feel of what the final result will be.</description>

		<description>Just goes to show that pre-planning can lead to great results! We sometimes use Google Sketchup regarding our business too. http://www.local-biz-reviews.com/ac-repair-delray-beach.html
It has been very useful to us as well.</description>
