Google Earth and 3D Warehouse Plugins:If you use Google Earth, Google SketchUp allows you to place your models using real-world coordinates and share them with the world using the 3D Warehouse.

LayOut will provide simple tools to place, arrange, title and annotate SketchUp models, photographs and other drawing elements to assemble presentation and documentation graphics for both print and screen.

Watermarks let you place images within your 2D screen space. You can place background watermarks to simulate skies or paper textures behind a model. You can also place overlay watermarks such as logos or other graphics directly on the screen in front of a model. For easy management, Watermarks are part of the new SketchUp Styles system.

Google SketchUp is the award-winning program that delivers a completely new way to design in 3D.

Key Features:

Sketchy Effects Sketchy Effects will add a new hand-drawn dimension to your models. You can render edges to look as if they were drawn with actual line strokes. Sketchy Effects are contained in the Styles palette.

Styles make it easier than ever to personalize your SketchUp models. A style is simply a saved collection of SketchUp display settings, including two new display features: Watermarks and Sketchy Effects – contained in a single palette. You can quickly create, save, and organize your styles, as well as share style files with others.

Photo Match
lets you set up a camera view so that the modeling environment matches up with a photograph. You can match an existing model with a background photo, or you can start with a photo and then trace over it in 3D.
