3-d modeling software from google. free. looks really cool. can integrate with google earth if you're doing buildings etc.

I just sent this to my buddy who's going to UPenn next year for architecture. He's always whining about swedes making models of cities...

i'm thinking it will be a useful & cool way to fiddle with layout of batteries, motor, motor mounts etc in the forkenswift.

I might use it for stuff like in the LED thread I posted where the guy modeled up his project before hand. Drawing up plans and that kinda thing. Very useful for a dork like myself.
