He said that they use Google SketchUp to decide how to hang their shows as it can give you a real virtual layout, in more than one perspective of how it will look. This may be a great tool to use if redoing a studio!

There is also a plugin you can download for woodworkers that will generate a "cut list" for you - as in how much material do you need and what is the most efficient way to lay it out.

I'm going to play around with it a bit and see what I can do. I'll have to work seam allowances in somehow but maybe I'll be able to get things working. Even if I can't, just being able to lay things out with the general color palette is useful. All for free!

The greens are psychedelic making it really stand out. Will you use those particular colors, or others? It will be quite different. Great that you could use your hubby's program.

I'm actually planning on using 6 different greens for the circles and then I'll pick lighter and darker greens for the backgrounds. Its gonna be fun!
