Google SketchUp

I've just downloaded this small software and it does wonders! Of course, I've been using to design my dream tank!

You can find the software here (it's free): http://sketchup.google.com/download/

Here are some pictures of my first trial: It's a 3 x 1.2 x 1.2 metres tank, the stand (crudely designed) is 90 cm high and there are two overflow boxes (plumbing and tank bracing not included) on the sides.

Cool, never seen that program before. Although I haven't had much spare time. Thanks for the info.

It's really a nice toy It would be great if everybody could post their designs... It would be greatly inspirational.

Nice, I downloaded it after a member here recommended it pretty nice program for free but it was more a novelty for me and I never used it.
