Google debuts SketchUp Pro 6

Google has recently released an upgraded version of its pro-level 3D sketching software. Through SketchUp Pro 6 one can create models from photos, add watermarks and 3D text and even set display styles. It further has a series of tools for creating presentations from sketched scenes known to be LayOut, which is available in beta.

SketchUp also calculates the camera position, builds the 3D scene and then applies parts of the photograph as textures to the models. Multiple photographs from different angles could be combined to make multiple sides of objects.

This upgrade has the new Styles palette that hosts collections of display settings including Watermarks and Sketchy Effects. These could be saved and shared with other users as well.
