Google Releases SketchUp For Free

Whether you want to design a dream home, the world's tallest building or just a new backyard deck, SketchUp makes visualizing and communicating your design ideas easy.

Google SketchUp (free) is an easy-to-learn 3D modeling program that enables you to explore the world in 3D.

With just a few simple tools, you can create 3D models of houses, sheds, decks, home additions, woodworking projects - even space ships.

And once you've built your models, you can place them in Google Earth, post them to the 3D Warehouse, or print hard copies.
