3-D Modeling and SketchUp

While exploring some of the websites for the iBooks Author widgets - I rediscovered Google SketchUp software.  The free download allows users to create 3-D objects.  There are several tutorials to guide those of us who are new users.  3-D objects are one of the seven standard widgets in iBooks Author.

To view some of the amazing 3-D objects that others have created, go to 3-D Gallery at http://sketchup.google.com/community/gallery.html

The drawings are so amazing and would be applicable to my son's discipline of structural engineering.  Most of the drawings relate to buildings and structures. Right now, I cannot see any application to nursing or the health sciences.
