The videos are MP4s embedded in the PDF, and in theory this format would work with any OS and media player combination.

I have tried the disk on 3 different computers, all with windows media player installed and the same thing happens with all three.

Well done!<br /><br />Keith, Bob's book should make a good reference for when you get stumped. I'm brand new to SketchUp, but it sounds like any software program: the more you use it, the faster you get.<br /><br />Dyami, let me know what you think. :o)Kari Hultmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224053263659415329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-66592780222324782122010-06-15T22:31:29.506-04:002010-06-15T22:31:29.506-04:00I just ordered it.

(translation, I forget what I learned the last time I used it:) I think I spend more time in the help guide that working on the drawing. But... when I want to check proportions on a piece,for example a table. It is easy to make changes to see if a wider/narrower leg would fit, without have to redraw Keith Julyhttp://www.julyswoodworks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-9396528954420267382010-06-15T04:20:46.019-04:002010-06-15T04:20:46.019-04:00I have used Sketchup a bunch and love it.
