Then again, I love an obsessive fixer, which you seem to be. ;-) Btw, I'm thinking of buying a condo / 900 sq foot room in Scottsdale. Instead of using paper, I used Balsamiq. I'm definitely getting quicker. Only "problem" I encountered was that I wanted to figure out how to angle the couch and chair in this section so it's diagonal, but there's no way to rotate an object like that. Not that you should be able to though? Here's a pic of my mock-up. The orange text is sort of how I wanted to put the couches. http://skitch.com/editweapon/we2e/balsamiq-mockups-for-desktop-loft.xml NOTE ABOUT SILVERBACK: I got this email about 3 hours after posting this. <blockquote> Paul Annett wrote: Saw your Tweet about Silverback, and thought this solution to your problems might be of use: http://getsatisfaction.com/clearleft/topics/painfully_slow_render_time cheers, Paul </blockquote> Companies who find your tweets and do something to help you are freaking AWESOME!

It convinced me of two things: - there's still a bunch of things I need to smooth around the edges (I hate how many times my software made you go "oh shit", I just hate it) - Silverback is 100% perfect and I'll go sign up right now. Watching the video gave me the same exact pain in my gut / borderline panic that I used to get when sitting behind the one-way-mirror doing usability studies at Adobe. From an end-result point of view, it's perfect. Once again, thanks for this. It's immensely useful to me. I'm fired up to make Mockups better now. Ciao! Patrick, thanks SO much for the demo.
