Google Launches SketchUp 3D Modeling Software |

Meryl K. Evans writes on TechNewsWorld:
SketchUp doesn't have the power found in most CAD programs, but it might open doors to a new group of users who don't create models for a living. The tool comes with tutorials, and its interface and usability are more advanced and less quirky than other hobbyist 3D applications, commented Google Blogscoped writer Phillipp Lenssen.
Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) has released Google SketchUp, a 3D modeling program that it acquired last month with the purchase of @Last Software. The tool lets users design and build three-dimensional models of a dream home, a car, a skyscraper -- and just about anything else that might come to mind.
Google SketchUp is a free application that targets hobbyists. Based on early reports, the SketchUp system is easy for newcomers to model designing to learn.
"It is the most intuitive 3D modeling program I have ever used -- and I've used many," Scott Onstott, an author of many books on CAD, told TechNewsWorld.
