Ever Heard/Tried This

[Rxotic]

Have any of you tried the Google Sketchup software as an "aid" (used loosely) for helping you understand certain parts of the PAT like TFE???

Personally I think its good for training your brain to view the different shapes from different sides. Not a blockbuster but just thought it was worth mentioning. Plus the PAT doesn't require too much attention, so I'm told.

How does this software actually work? I create my on shapes?...can you explain some more about how I would use this?

 

[Rxotic]

Yes! That's the best part. You can make any shape and then analyze it in 3D. Once you go through the tutorial and learn about the different functions and options, I think you'll be ok. Again, I wouldn't rely on this being a big gun in your PAT review arsenal. It helps you to better understand TFE and the whole 3d way a thinking. Try it and let us know what you think. The download was free.

I don't know man. I'm just thinking about some of the weird-ass shapes TFE has and I think it would take me a few hours to construct ONE. Seems like a waste of time unless you really can't imagine or rotate an object in your head.

True. I wouldn't dare to try the more complex layered structures.
