Does Anyone Use SKETCH-UP ?

[ezdays]

Yes, occasionally. I've recently found a way to access a laser cutter and a CNC machine, so I'll have to brush up.

You can buy the pro version (actually $100 off right now), but the free version works well for me.

I don't know what the relationship with Google is anymore (I'm sure Wikipedia knows) but as far as I can tell, it's still free in the basic version. Find Sketchup "Make" v8.x at sketchup.com

Yup, the basic version is still free and from what I've read, they have a large library that you can also download for free. I have it and I've played around some, but I've got an older version of TurboCad that does everything I need, and I've used it for a good 20 years, so I'm familiar with it. Wood Magazine ran a article a few months ago on how to use Sketcup for designing woodworking projects. It appears to be full-featured for doing 3D. Pretty powerful for a free application.
