Cool House.

I know I first started working with 3d modeling software as a kid, and I loved it. But im not autistic, maybe kids just like 3d modeling

[AutisticWhoLives4God]

Cool.

My son has Asperger's, part of the ASD spectrum, and just loves Sketchup. I am very grateful that he has this resource to express himself and explore his inner thoughts safely.

If it turns out there is any truth to the recent hypothesis that a VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY can cause or worsen autism, wouldn't this product make it worse by giving children yet another reason to not get enough sunlight (which the body needs to make Vitamin D)?

Maybe Google should work towards developing a cheap solar powered laptop with a screen that is easy to read in direct sunlight, instead of this ...

no one said that the children need to stay inside ALL DAY!!! its not a lifestyle post~they aren't trying to give a total program for autism,just telling us what some people have discovered with their free product. parents are responsible for getting their kids outside.

should google they have given info about vaccines and their possible cause of autism too? in a 4 minute movie? google is a software company, talk to hp,apple and dell about hardware!

[sjogge123]

who said they need to be 24/7 inside?

[hoeveler]

Great work!

It shows that visual "talk" is doable and rewarding.

The tip of the iceberg!

I was glad to see my model shown in the video above. For the reccord my model was the seccond shown. I have been working on the file since then and I have made a few "small" updates. I hoped to send in the updated file before this went live but it would seem I was too slow. I would like to thank my friends at Sketch Up for the chance to work with them on such a great project.

Software should not only be simple to use, but also be able Deliver the Imagination and Creativity of it's Users.

Google and its products are ahead of the competition, perhaps because of those ingredients. We all love you Google!

[yxxxx]

a brilliant video and some really great ideas there.

I would be happy if i could make something that came half as close to what some of those creation were.

I hope it helps a lot of people.
