[FRIAM] FYI: Google adds SketchUp to its toolbox

[James Steiner]

Sketchup is primarily a 3D vector drawing/drafting tool, with a
Ruby-based extensions thingla. Its drawing tools are geared towards
making it easy to build boxes with holes in, ala houses, decks,
skyscrapers, etc. The idea is you can build your house in Sketchup,
then import the structure into Google Earth, and plop it onto your
property in the global map. Wee.
