SketchUp (formerly Google Sketchup) is a 3D modeling computer program for a wide

range of drawing applications such as architectural, interior design, civil and mechanical
engineering, film, and video game designand available in a freeware
version, SketchUp Make, and a paid version with additional functionality, SketchUp Pro.
SketchUp is currently owned by Trimble Navigation,[1][4] a mapping, surveying, and
navigation equipment company.[5]The company was independent from 2000 to 2006 and
owned by Google from 2006 to 2012.
The program's authors describe it as easy to use.[6] There is an online open source library
of free model assemblies (e.g. windows, doors, automobiles), 3D Warehouse, to which
users may contribute models. The program includes drawing layout functionality, allows
surface rendering in variable "styles", supports third-party "plug-in" programs hosted on a
site called Extension Warehouse to provide other capabilities (e.g. near photo-realistic
rendering), and enables placement of its models within Google Earth.[7
