Available for free on the Web, Google SketchUp brings 3-D modelling to a growing user base. Google SketchUp lets you create 3-D models of everything from new toys to your dream house. You can even share your designs with other users and place them in Google Earth. The online help is detailed, but hard to pick through, especially if you don't know what you're looking for. This "Missing Manual" shows you not just how to use the program's tools, but also how to apply them in real-world situations like presentations and Web sites. The book starts with an introduction to 3-D modelling, and moves on to power-user techniques like matching photographs and animating your models.
