Google Sketchup

So, I gave Google Sketchup a try for the first time today. I used Revit previously, and I think that worked pretty well. I haven't had too many opportunities yet to try and see if you can insert a floor plan into sketchup to build the 3D model off of. I will do some more playing around with it, but it seemed to be quite a bit easier to use than revit, except I haven't figured out how to do the rest of my house yet.

Here is (hopefully) my first attempt.

I don't know if you can download a picture off my blog or not, but if you can you can view my blog post that way with the above information.




And just in case you can't, here is my blog post as well.

I think this is an interesting technology. I think it can definitely be frightening. It is amazing what people can do these days and employers don't even know about it. I had never even heard of this before class last week.

I think that this could be used effectively for a Facility Manager. I think it may be a little difficult, but I could see it being used to transmit confidential information regarding employees or project information. Again, I think it would be difficult to implement at first because most people don't even know about the technology. To be honest, the thing that I find the most
interesting about this and trying to use it in the work place is figuring out how to get people the password and "username". Again, I think the biggest way this could be used is as an extra security measure for confidential information that needs to be shared either within the
organization or from the organization to other parties that are involved.
