[QUOTE="jdc753, post: 4818321, member: 572078"] My first thought would be to check out the kids at your school who have gotten their hands on it or who are in the classes that need it. Either maybe you can find one who hasn't picked it up and can get a copy of it "for themselves" or they may know of a way to get it. I remember back in school if you needed a piece of software there was usually a way to get it and just needed to find the people in the know. Sometimes there were kids who could rip it off the lab computer or something like that, just need to get around the hardware key usually. I know the mechanical engineers at my school used solidworks and as far as I know they had access to it on their personal computers and such. x2 on google sketchup being confusing lol. Granted I probably didn't spend enough time with it and didn't really need to use it but wanted to learn it. I can draft up about anything I want in AutoCad in half the time it would take me to learn sketchup and there is never a time I would ever need a fancy 3d rendering for when I actually go to build something.
