Back in March it was announced that Google had acquired my favorite design program, Sketchup. I humbly suggested that they should offer it for free, guess someone was listening because that’s just what they did (like it was hard to predict). What’s different about this for Google is that Sketchup is a full blown desktop application that you download, it will be interesting to see what approach Google takes for end user support.
To clarify the license, only personal usage is free, if you are using Sketchup commercially then you are still on the hook for the $500 license fee.
