Google SketchUp 8.0

Google SketchUp 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.

Requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.

What's New in version 8.0:
New Features:

• Scene Thumbnails
• Color imagery and more accurate terrain
• Model geo-location with Google Maps - We’ve built Maps right into SketchUp. Adding a geo-location to your model is now an elegant, one-app process.
• Match Photo improvements - For SketchUp 8, we’ve tweaked some things to make using Match Photo easier than ever.
• SketchUp, meet Building Maker - When it comes to modeling existing buildings, it’s hard to beat Google Building Maker for speed and efficiency.
• Back Edges - Turn these on to see your model’s obscured edges as dashed lines.
• Push/Pull pre-selected faces - Select a face, then push/pull; it works just like the rest of SketchUp’s modification tools.
• Calculate volumes - Entity Info now displays the volume of any solid in your model.
• Outer Shell - Automatically generate a shape that completely encloses two or more solids in your model.
