Drawing a bathroom with sketchup

Once we had the floor plans drawn for the house we started to look at the layout of the bathrooms in detail.
The designer had done an fair job of laying out the bathrooms but it obviously isn't his speciality. 
 After talking to a couple of bathroom designers we came up with some layouts we liked and then had to ensure it all fitted together - enter google sketchup.
 
 The picture below shows how simple this is, the background image is our floor plan that we imported in to google sketchup. Trace a view walls and then goto the sketchup warehouse and choose the vanities, showers, toliets etc. Position them and then play with the dimensions to ensure it'll all fit together.
