I played around in sketchup for a while and imported a photo of a highboy I'm interested in making. I alligned the perspective bars, etc, though had some difficulty setting the correct scale. The highboy is 86" tall, so I tried to use a 12" scale. 86/12 = 7.16, so it was hard to eyeball .16 of a scale line. Do you scale it roughly, take a test measurement of a known dimension, then fine tune the scale? Also, do you have to trace the whole piece before taking measurements? Like I said, I don't need to model the entire piece, just want to be able to pull important dimensions off it. From the time I've spent on it, it seemed to be a very useful program, I'm just not quite at the point in the learning curve I need to be to make it work for me.
