It's very easy to feel intimidated about a 3d computer modelling programme, as most people would think them way too complicated to use - it's no wonder after seeing the spectacular computer generated effects 3d modelling programmes can produce for modern movies - and whilst I'm not promising photo real visuals on a par with the latest cinematic blockbuster, I am promising a piece of software that will, at the very least, help you to visualise your latest design concepts.
Sketchup started out as an architectural tool, but since then it has been acquired by Google and they have actively

The decision came in spite of continued pressure to raise rates in order to combat high inflation. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose to 4% in January, and is widely expected to remain high for the rest of the year at least.
Ray Boulger, senior technical manager at (UK Auction List's partner) mortgage broker John Charcol, says: "I don't expect Bank Rate to rise before the second half of the year and, whilst a couple of 0.25%
There has been quite a discussion going on in the office today about how best to store books (interesting I know!) and now we thought we'd share some top tips to help you declutter and organise your bookcase!
- Line the back of your bookcase with wallpaper or add a coat of paint that goes with your overall decor.
- Separate your books by size and attractiveness. Consider storing uninteresting or unattractive titles in a less conspicuous area.
