Adobe Illustrator ftw actually, sketchup is pretty cool...
SketchUp = Satan. Sorry Harris..but we had to use sketchup in ARCH3331 (class actually ended today) and even with the Duo Core processors they were running at the architecture computer lab, SketchUp slowed the shit out of them. I can't tell you how many times my PC, the one at school, and my laptop froze...and my file was less than 5000mb. It's extrememly easy to use and fun....but performance wise: FAIL.

here's what I did in class last month. Super easy stuff...I mean I could do this in my sleep. But try orbiting something like this in SketchUp and you're friends will understand why you attempted to throw a Dell laptop out the window

oh nice man. I'm glad to hear that. Architecture is a bitch...and trust me, not everybody can handle it, and not everybody makes it. I hope I go through with this and wish you the best in your studies dude. I'll post up some pictures and a video in a sec on what I have been working on for the past 10 weeks. It's part of my Structures class...which I think if your school is AIA or NAAB Accredited then you will be doing this in 3rd or 4th year.
If you need any ideas or any help hit me up man. I haven't used Vellum (i dont think we use that at UH) but I've used Illustrator for my presentations.
