Google sold it to Trimble so it's called Trimble Sketchup.
Apparently they removed the DWF reader in the later versions
(the classic removing value from the freeware), so that's why
we didn't use it here.
If starting from scratch, it seems like the best two to start
with are Trimble SketchUp or Draft Sight.
Either seems to do the trick though - but Draft Sight seems
(on paper) slightly better - but Google/Trimble SketchUP seems
like its 3D results may be better.
But I don't know ANY of this for a fact - which is why I'm
asking here! :)
