SketchUp is a 3D modeling program designed for architects, and civil engineers. It can also be used by filmmakers, game developers, and related professions. It also includes features to facilitate the placement of models in Google Earth.
It was designed to be easier to use than other 3D CAD (Computer-aided Design) programs. A feature of SketchUp is the 3D Warehouse that lets SketchUp users search for models made by others and contribute models. SketchUp was first released in August 2000 as a general purpose 3D content creation tool.
