Trimble

edit

Trimble applies technology to make field and mobile workers in businesses and government significantly more productive. Solutions are focused on applications requiring position or location—including surveying, construction, agriculture, fleet and asset management, public safety and mapping. In addition to utilizing positioning technologies, such as GPS, lasers and optics, Trimble solutions may include software content specific to the needs of the user. Wireless technologies are utilized to deliver the solution to the user and to ensure a tight coupling of the field and the back office. Founded in 1978, Trimble is headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif.

SketchUp is a 3D modeling program. With SketchUp, users can create, modify, and share models. SketchUp offers both free and professional versions.

SketchUp is unique because it is comparatively easier to learn than other 3D modeling software, and it offers in its 3D Warehouse a repository of model assemblies.

SketchUp was developed originally by @Last Software and became a Google product when Google acquired @Last Software in 2006. Google subsequently sold SketchUp to Trimble in 2012.
