from Google, the program has continued to evolve since its initial release in 2000
by @Last Software founders Brad Schell and Joe Esch.
This presentation will focus on the free version 8. We'll introduce the basic
geometry construction tools and demo features such as components, materials, styles,
fog, shadows, scene animation, and the use of Ruby scripts to customize and extend
Sketchup's capabilities.  We'll visit Google's 3Dwarehouse to download models, and
geo-locate a building on Google Earth.  Whether you dream of turning your personal
fabrication vision into a 3d prototype or just want to virtually rearrange your
living room furniture, see if  Sketchup might become a useful  part of your toolset.
