Their offices are right here in town, a bike ride away. I bought my first Pro version by walking in the door, meeting some of the designers, and handing them a check.

I do most of my geologic modelling in AutoCad, but I do my presenting in SketchUp.

Exporting to 2D graphics is really easy, and as a registered HZ.net user, you can load them into any of the many galleries, and include them in a post. This is one of the greatest features of the new site - you can host your images here! Hope to see some of your creations here. Steve requested a view of one of my mine models, so I hope soon to dig one one out, dust it off, and put it up here. There are several AutoCad types here, all of whom have been quite helpful on the Geek Board in the past. Glad you've joined us.

I hope you check out the 3D Warehouse, there are some amazing models in there. I used two of these to create the following image, which was posted here on the HZ.net during early beta testing (pre-frankian period):
