TITLE: Building Simply with Google SketchUp

TIME: Wednesday, September 26, 12:30p
 
LOCATION: Redfish Conference Room, 624 Agua Fria Street
          Lunch will be available for $5

Abstract: Google SketchUp is a free software tool (with a for-pay pro version)
that is useful for creating 3-D models.  SketchUp provides a toolbox containing
basic tools for drawing, modifying, and texturing 3-D objects.  Extensions to
these functions can be made within SketchUp using the Ruby API (Application
Programming Interface).  By giving an informal demonstration in SketchUp, I hope
to demonstrate both SketchUp's accessibility to new users and capacity to export
3D models that can be used as agent views in ABM environments such as NetLogo.
