Thumbs up Google Sketchup - a great 3D drawing tool

If you haven't come across Google Sketchup yet, have a look: Google SketchUp - Home

It's a very easy to use free 3D drawing tool, which might be handy for conveying your engineering ideas on the forum.

I can't show you anything car related as all my car drawings are still on AutoCAD, but here are some things I sketched up for another project. You can upload and download drawings to and from Google's 3D warehouse as well, and some of the components I used in my drawing have come from there. It's fantastic!

Nice to see a thread dominated by Lola avatars so far!

Poor man's for sure, but great for throwing ideas around where words just aren't enough.
