SketchUp 8 intro'd at 3D Basecamp

I guess I should have sent in an application to go to it.  :P   The speculation was that SU8 was going to be unveiled at that time, and sure enough, it was.

First off, watch the video.

I think this may be the tool that puts AutoCAD LT and a lot of other 2D drafting programs out of business.  At $495 (and just a $95 upgrade each major, new version), it undercuts AutoCAD LT by 50% (or so), and AutoCAD LT doesn't include 3D.

Most of all, this is the tool that every person in Architecture, Urban Planning and Landscape Architecture has ever wanted since college.  Just watch the video, to understand this.
