I downloaded Sketchup 6.0 and tried out the tutorial. In just a few minutes I was making simple 3-D models. Manipulations of the models were intuitive and straightforward. This ease of use is a far cry from the CAD software that was forced upon me many years ago as an undergraduate. Beyond the software itself, I was more impressed with the 3dwarehouse repository of Sketch-up models. This combined with Google Earth is the closest I've seen an interface come to meeting the promise of online, codeable VRML worlds promised over 15 years ago.
