Then you get a big pat on your back Dalboy. I know what a cow it is to get a print out of Sketchup... although I believe the biggest challenge is to get a 1:1 scale. I did buy Pro for that reason alone (1:1 print... easily).

The problem I have is that I don't use it enough and quite often forget how I did something so have to learn all over again

It took about 10 minutes to learn how, but what I do now, when I discover something new that I'm bound to forget, I plug in a microphone and headset combo into my PC and make a "B" grade instructional video (motion screen capture with smart rrss comments ) for myself... Incredibly it's quite comical when I sober up!

Then you have to record a note to explain what you were trying to say in the last one.

And then another note to explain that, etc... Unfortunately, when I need to use that idea again, I keep falling asleep while I percolate up through all my notes..
