SketchUp 6 Now Available E-mail
Written by Glenn Letham (GISuser editor)   
11 January 2007
Just released... Google SketchUp 6 - 3D for everyone! Recall SketchUp is a simple, powerful tool for creating, viewing, and modifying 3D ideas quickly and easily. Google SketchUp was developed to combine the elegance and spontaneity of pencil sketching with the speed and flexibility of today's digital media.

Bring your maps and Google Earth KMLs to life with realistic, 3D renderings of your home, your office, even your dog! A free trial is available for download & free models are available from the 3D warehouse.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
• Windows 2000 & XP.
• Note that Vista is not fully supported at this time.
• IE version 6 or better.
• For multimedia tutorials: Windows Media Player or QuickTime 5.0
• SketchUp isn't optimized for dual processors. While it will run on a 64-bit Windows XP machine, there won't be a performance increase.

New Features:

Photo Match
Photo match provides a way to set up a camera view so that the modeling environment matches up with a photograph. It can be used to match an existing model with a background photo or one can start from scratch with a photo and then create a 3D model.

Styles
A style is simply a saved collection of SketchUp display settings. With a single click, you can quickly apply a style to any model by selecting it from the new Styles browser. You can personalize your own styles and save them as part of a library, and share your style files with others.

Watermarks
Watermarks are images placed in the background or foreground of the drawing area and span the entire area just as sky and ground. Watermarks can also be used to place logos and other graphics directly on the screen. 

Fog
Add atmospheric haze to a model with the new fog display.

3D Text Tool
Creates text in 3D for inclusion in your models.
