SketchUp is a 3D modelling program for a broad range of applications such as architectural, civil, mechanical, film as well as video game design — and available in free as well as 'professional' versions. It was previously owned by Google.
The program highlights its ease of use, and an online repository of model assemblies (e.g., windows, doors, automobiles, entourage, etc.) known as 3D Warehouse enables designers to locate, download, use and contribute free models. The program includes a drawing layout functionality, allows surface rendering in variable 'styles,' accommodates third-party 'plug-in' programs enabling other capabilities (e.g., near photo realistic rendering) and enables placement of its models within Google Earth.
SketchUp for Home and Personal Use is available for free. The commercial version of the software - SketchUp Pro - provides a number of additional, advanced features for professional use. SketchUp Pro is available for direct purchase or through a network of authorised resellers world-wide.
