Abstract: Google SketchUp is open-source software that is useful for creating
3-D models.  SketchUp provides a toolbox containing basic tools for drawing,
modifying, and texturing 3-D objects.  Extensions to these functions can be made
within SketchUp using the Ruby API (Application Programming Interface).  By
giving an informal demonstration in SketchUp, I hope to demonstrate both
SketchUp's accessibility to new users and capacity to export 3D models that can
be used as agent views in ABM environments such as NetLogo.
