Google Sketchup free 3D modeling program

Google SketchUp Beta, the brand new, free 3D drawing tool isn’t an obvious fit for the Google desktop application canon. However, this blend of vector-based 3D drawing and CAD-like control lets you rapidly build 3D models that can be exported to numerous bitmap and compressed file formats and, more importantly, geo-coded and shared on the company’s Google Earth satellite imagery program, which is also free. So, it’s a undeniably cool, oddball app that has the potential to turn one of Google’s most popular services, Google Earth, into an even more powerful and personal tool.
