Google unveils Building Maker
Google is launching their version of Sim City today, Google Building Maker. The tool lets you create buildings for Google Earth. Building Maker lets you pick any building and construct a 3D version of it using photos and building blocks provided by Google. Google says that buildings are relatively fast to construct using their tool, taking only a matter of minutes. - TechCrunch

Because architecture is so easy, you guys! And jeepers, it's fun too!

In addition to the people who come through my door with stacks of Southern Living Magazine and pictures from MS Paint or some Best Buy 3d visualization program, I now have this to deal with. Just one more log on the fire to stoke the flames of customer's thinking, " I just need the plans - the ideas right here".

Sure, I'll jump into this 8 months later. None of the previous commentors watched the video.
Building Maker has nothing to do with designing buildings. It's *not* some new kind of "sketchup for dummies" designed to annoy architects who, obviously, don't need anything more to be annoyed about. It's Google's way of crowd-sourcing the work of modeling existing buildings for display in Google Earth / Maps.
