What is SketchUp? It is Google’s latest acquistion and one that leaves me baffled.

From their site:

“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.

Google SketchUp is free for personal use. No registration is required.”

I’m not sure Google’s intentions for this product and it’s not the most user friendly to jump into. I am also still unsure why your average user needs a 3-D modelling program. I’m sure there’s a good reason. We will see.

Check out my model (I had to export it in 2-D).
