I'd like to move from paper to CAD as my woodworking evolves. It looks like Sketchup is popular among hobby woodworkers. Here are a couple of basic questions:
1. I see on Sketchup site they offer free, 'shop' and 'pro' versions. The 'pro' at $300/yr is not in the cards for me, but what exactly do I get with the $120/yr subscription over a free service? Which version(s) do you folks have?
2. I see Dave Richards video and Tim Killen's book as popular intro materials. Is that still the recommended intro for a first-time hobbyist?
3. I'm about due for a new laptop. Are there particular Sketchup requirements/demands that I should be aware of in picking a new machine?
Thanks in advance.
