: Hey all,

: I've been using good ol' pencil and paper to sketch up possible
: deck designs, but I would like a better idea of how my ideas and
: actual wood colours would work. Other than switching to pencil
: crayons LOL, any ideas for good software to use for deck design
: ideas? Preferably something that I could import actual photos of
: wood texture and colour and also get into fairly quickly, I
: would rather not face a 3D modelling program learning curve :)

: Thanks!

I just do it on paper and mostly in my head. Just make a few notes and sketches to go by then it's often how it looks on the boat.
