It is! I designed a wardrobe and made the entire frame from pieces that I cut from the SketchUp measurements. Just had to assemble in place. It was a different way for me to build stuff but it worked well.
Virtually every single time I start designing something in sketchup I realize that the way I planned it in my head wouldn’t have worked. I’ll much rather make that mistake then than once I’m fitting the parts together. The accuracy you can get this way is also quite amazing. When I check the final measurements once I’m done I’m usually off by few millimeters at most.
That’s something I encountered working in rapid prototyping. Your brain can imagine things passing through each other. No, Inspector Gadget’s helicopter thing wouldn’t fit in his hat. Sorry.
What software is that? I have access to Vectorworks through my employer, but I’m always wary of using company stuff for freelance/personal projects.
Free version of SketchUp - it’s great for stuff like this.
