We all know about how to draw in SketchUp. But do you know the background history of SketchUp? Who did invent this wonderful tool? How did Google come to know about it?
There was a small company named @Last Software at Boulder, Colorado. The company was co-founded by Brad Schell and Joe Esch. Seeing the complexity of the available 3D programs of the market they thought to make a 3D program which is not only for techno geek. Anyone from a video jockey to school children can use the software. Though they didn’t want the complexity, they want the perfection of the other 3D tools. To meet all the requirements they have to create something fantastic. And then they create SketchUp in August 2000. The tagline was ‘3D for everyone’. And we know that it is really 3D for everyone.
SketchUp first came in focus light after winning the DigitalCAD Community Choice Award by Digital Media Net at its first tradeshow.
The Company developed a plug in for Google Earth and SketchUp. Attracted by this integration of SketchUp with Google Earth, Google decided to acquire this company on 14 March, 2006. Trimble Navigation acquired SketchUp from Google on June 1, 2012
