Google Sketchup DIY Challenge

Hey Folks,

Ok not sure which section this would be best in but this seemed the logical place.

Most people during their DIY cinema self builds will doodle what they are trying to achieve on a scrap bit of paper. I have seen more and more people turning to the amazing capabilities of Google Sketchup!

Myself being one at the moment as me and my girlfriend are just in the process of buying our first place together and we are already having big plans for the lounge

So during this evening I have been playing around on sketchup getting some ideas.

I come across the challenging task of doing a mitre joint on a basic decorative skirting that I knocked up and I'm interested in starting off a "How did you do it" to see how others found doing this.

So here is what I done. I would be interested in and comments and seeing some of what you have done.
