Sketchup Ketchup

This is what Sketchup is suppose to do.... transform an Architect's thoughts in his head...and put the idea into a computer image in 3D ...

http://vizarch.blogspot.com/

BUT OH MY GOSH! I need to throw up! Who ever said CADing (Computer Aided Design for you non-architecture peeps) was easy? Who ever said Sketchup (a supposedly Idiot-proof software) was the easiest? Who ever thought this was going to help mankind and architects around the world?
I really tried... I REALLY TRIED!
Not only am I frustrated when the thing does stuff I don't want it to...
Not only is this thing purposely not responding the way I want it to....
Not only do I feel paralysed above the waist...
Not only am I constantly fearful my laptop might shut down on me...
BUT I AM ALSO GETTING MOTION SICKNESS FROM ROTATING MY MODEL ROUND AND ROUND!!!

So to me, the best software that will help me communicate my ideas will always and forever be my HB Pencil... unless Sketchup decides to add just a few more functions.....
