SketchUp

After attending a skatepark design meeting and seeing that they where using Google SketchUp to make their initial designs I decided I needed to try it out. It's a pretty amazing program. Anyone with some experience with Photoshop would be able to jump right in. There's plenty to learn and I'm just getting started, but it's nice to know somethign like this exists as a tool for conveying skatepark ideas.
Above is the bowl idea I am working on now. The initial drawing was easy enough but getting the transitions worked out is seriously frustrating. What looks good from one angle is completely wrong from another.
