Google Sketchup
Posted in Idling on 06/20/2007 06:33 am by foolhandyGoogle is, overall, wonderful.
I discovered this last week, which may or may not have been around for ages but is anyway new to me. It’s called Google Sketchup and it allows you to create little 3D models of buildings or…anything really. I think it was originally created to allow people to generate 3D buildings for Google Earth but it’s also great fun to play with, if a little bit pointless if you don’tactually need a 3D rendition.
Still, a pokey bit of software and once again free. Oh Google…

I have. It’s great fun, and something you could easily find yourself spending too long on. I’m not surprised it’s being used in schools - free, east to use and very useful.
