Google Sketch Up

Recently I was given the assignment here at work to make a bunch of Google Sketchup models of our products so that Landscape Architects can use them to design there jobs before they order.
So I went and downloaded the free version of Google Sketchup an started working with it. I had used Google Sketchup before, and did not like it, but I decided to try again.

Anyway, I started using it, and the things that I did not like where still there. But there are some cool features that I like to. The big thing that I didn't like was the way that dimensions work in Google Skechup. But I did like the ability to map textures on a object, and the ability to place the models in Google Earth. Anyway,
I modeled all of our different parts for are SimTek Fence. If you like to see these models, you can click here and look at them or download them.

I also started creating models of different installs which will be available in Google Earth. The first one I made is available here. It is the layout of our fence at our facility.




Anyway, if you would like, try out Google Sketchup, and try using some of my models. Let me know what you think.
