Anyone ever use Google SketchUp to build a cabinet?

Hi guys,
Like the subject says, I'm wondering if any anyone has used the models in Google 3D Warehouse to build a cabinet from. If so, how did the process go? Were the measurements close enough?
I want to build a Punch-Out!! Cab, but there are no plans for that or a PC10 available, so SketchUp models look to be my last resort.

Welcome, and yeah, there's tons of people using sketchup here to draw up cabs
Just search for Ond's Metropolis as one example (and a damn good one too).

I loved using sketchup.
You can get a photo of an original cab and trace it. I got the plans from http://www.jakobud.com/plan-list.php and then traced mine.

Recommended. I created a sketchup model from OND's metropolis plans. Then tweaked a bit for own needs. Great thing about it was, could import components into it and check that everything fitted. Also, once realized in 3D, could render into 2D cutting plans with guides for batons. If yer serious about making your cab bespoke - start with sketchup.
