Wow... OK I have wanted to build a deck on my roof for some time now, and its finally warm enough to get on my roof. so i went up their got the measurements and decided to start designing it. i saw Google had a 3D modeling program last night so i decided i would give it a try. i start off not to hard just like a 2D model, just giving the blocks a little depth... ya that lasted for about 10 minuets.trying to add a slant to your rood is not so easy when you added 30 extra lines in your design 20 steps before! it also seems to be impossible to get all the same measurements on every post in the design, not to mention any post that are placed on the sloped roof become sloped them selves. while their is an eraser tool it does not work the same as a saw, actualy i do not even know how it works because it does not seem to do any thing(not sure if i am using it wrong or what). the worst part of it all is trying to keep your point of focus, i keep moving around zooming in, panning all directions, zoom some more, then rotate a little more and repeat for about 45 seconds till you get the camera where you want it. this constant movement actually has left me very confused and disoriented.
all in all it is a nice program, just i am new to 3D design. I must say though 3D modeling is not so easy, I think this might be my last 3D model for some time.
