SKETCHUP... THE WORLDS BEST 3D MODELING SOFTWARE...
NEW SketchUp Pro 6 - The conceptual modelling tool of choice for the architectural professional... versions for both Windows and Mac OS X
 

SketchUp is a deceptively simple, amazingly powerful tool for creating, viewing, and modifying 3D ideas quickly and easily. SketchUp has been developed to combine the elegance and spontaneity of pencil sketching with the speed and flexibility of today's digital media. SketchUp can be used during the design process, from design exploration through client presentation and sign off. SketchUp designs can then be exported to many of the most popular CAD and rendering programs. SketchUp runs on both Microsoft Windows and Apple Computer's OS X.

Download a FREE, fully functional copy of SketchUp  Pro 6 for Windows™ and for Mac OS X™ using links on the right hand side of this page. You can design with it for 8 hours (design time, not clock time).

"SketchUp Pro 6 makes it insanely easy to work with ideas in 3D," said Brad Schell of Google Inc. "Version 6 builds on that concept by bringing an even easier interface, greater communication throughout the design workflow, and an easier way to focus on creativity without having to wrestle with complex computer demands."

Google SketchUp for Dummies
AU $39.90 inc GST
 
add to cart
Considerably easier to use than most other 3D software, Google SketchUp has found a niche in architecture, landscaping, real estate development, furniture building, and other design professions.

This fun and friendly book assumes no previous 3D modeling experience and explains the basic concepts involved in 3D modeling.

It shows readers how to build a 3D model, print it, share it, export it to another professional design package, export it to Google Earth, and create a 3D animated tour.

It also helps readers harness the power of Google SketchUp so that they can populate Google Earth with 3D buildings, monuments, and other sculptures

SKETCHUP PRO 6 - SINGLE USER & NETWORK LICENCING OPTIONS...
SINGLE USER LICENCING...
 
With 'Single-user Licensing' a single-user license is assigned to a particular user.

That individual can install the license on any computer he/she is using, but only one of these computers can be running SketchUp at a time, and it authorises that individual's use only.

AU $650.00 inc GST

SketchUp Pro 6 Mac OS X - (no CD) - Single Licence
AU $650.00 inc GST

NETWORKED LICENCING...
 

A SketchUp Pro network license is not assigned to an individual user. The software can be installed on as many computers as needed which are connected to a centralised server location. The license is stored in a shared folder and the software points to that license. The number of seats purchased determines the number of concurrent users. Example, a 5 seat network license can be used by any 5 people at one time. If a 6th person on the network attempts to run SketchUp they will receive a message that no license is available.

Note: The software WILL NOT run when off the network and the licenses cannot be checked out. If a mobile license is needed, it is recommended that a single-user license be purchased.

Note: If a network license is currently installed on your server, you should contact our sales rep to add licenses rather than purchasing on line.
