New Features Of Google Sketchup 8

Sketchup is a 3D modeling software owned by Google. This 3D software is used by professionals from all walks of life. Generally it is used for placing 3D models in Google Earth.

Sketchup Warehouse enables users to view & download various forms of 3D models. Till date, eight versions of sketchup have released. The latest version Sketchup 8 was launched on Sept. 1’2010. The important Sketchup 8 features are:-

• Geo-localization of models in sketchup:- The latest sketchup has Google Map built in it. If we create or download any 3D model from sketchup, then we can easily geo-localize it by this sketchup 8.

• Coloured & 3D view of the terrains of the geo locations:- In google map, we generally see non coloured & one dimensional view of the geolocation of any product. But for the first time, in sketchup 8, we can view the land relief of the geolocation of our model coloured & in 3D.

• The Building Maker:- The heading tells that this sketchup has building making feature. We can add buildings to google map by this feature. Its very efficient. We can use this feature to create buildings from our models.

Five years have passed since Google has acquired Sketchup from the company @Last Software. Since then, they are periodically updating their software. The latest update was the “SpaceNavigator (a computer mouse which supports 3D software)” support.

Also this sketchup version has a plugin which supports 3D animation.
