SketchUp -> Google SketchUp now free...

Sc Free
Sketchup, one of the best 3D drawing apps is now free - "Google SketchUp (free) is an easy-to-learn 3D modeling program whose few simple tools enable you to create 3D models of houses, sheds, decks, home additions, woodworking projects - even space ships. You can add details, textures and glass to your models, design with dimensional accuracy, and place your finished models in Google Earth, share them with others by posting them to the 3D Warehouse, or print hard copies. Google SketchUp (free) is a great way to discover if 3D modeling is right for you." - Link.

This is so cool. I had a trial of sketchup and loved it but could never justify buying it.

I've been using Sketchup for 6 months and love it. I wish it had a nudge feature built in instead of paying some guy for a script that allows nudging.

SWEEEEET! my friends who I've shown it to were drooling over it, so YAY, now they can get their hands on a basic tool kit!

Love the online tutorials. Great prototyping tool. My only wish...the MAC version was available now. Guess I'll have to download to a Windoze machine while I wait for MAC version.
