Google Sketchup




Google sketchup was released four years ago now and it is a great free 3D drawing program. Sketchup does take practice to become good at but once you have some skills it is amazing what you can create. There are many help videos on the Google sketchup site that explain what the tools in the program and how to use them. There are also guided activities on the help site to help you become familiar with sketchup. Sketchup is time consuming if you plan to create complicated objects like some houses. Google Sketchup is also pretty cool because you can upload building to Google earth and to the 3D buildings warehouse on the sketchup site. Google sketchup does take some getting used to but once you have experience with all the tools in Google sketchup it becomes an easier and more rewarding experience because you are able make more complicated buildings faster and with better end results.
