Google Sketchup

Anyone use/used this ?

I'm trying to model my studio to give it better soundproofing and acoustic properties and in a forum on such things I was linked to it.

It's a 3d drawing tool and it's free (there's also a pro version for an added premium).

I think it was developed independently but google bought it up as an app for folk to make 3d building models for google earth

So I just got it last night and tried some random shit

(this is a 2d image of a 3d animation)

The great thing is that it links directly to a whole database (or 'warehouse') of already modelled and scaleable objects and now I'm virtually shifting furniture around my flat and redesigning all sorts of stuff.

It's great, so I thought I'd share
