Google SketchUp is a free and fun tool for creating 3D models. If you create a model of a building or object, you can even share it with other users via the Google 3D Warehouse. Begin by downloading the program from http://sketchup.google.com. Once it’s installed, launch the program, go to ‘Choose Template’ —> ‘Simple Template – Meters’ and click ‘Start using SketchUp’. You’ll see an image of a person on the screen and three axes. Click the Orbit tool and drag the axes to view the 3D space in a different way.
