This application is really good because you can make basically design any type of house you want to and there are over 20 different tools that you can use to make a house awesome.

Google sketchup is amazing because it is great for designing things for DT and it is educational and it is also great fun. I could stay and design new things for ages. this program is great for people who like graphic design and people who are perfectionists as you can get all your measurements to scale. I can also download 3D images especially made for this program. I really think that this is a great application.

Google skecthup, is the best 3-D building app ever. You make 3D models with the tools or download other peoples models and it's free. So I downloaded it to my laptop and it's amazing. I still haven't gotten the hang of it but it's great fun. It enables you to make 3-D Objects that can be used for anything. ||  || Tools can be slightly confusing. ||  ||
 * Architect Studio 3D || Design a house with Frank Lloyd Wright ||  ||   ||   ||
 * [|Building Maker] || There is only one thing that you can do with this application which is make a building in google earth 3D. There are no built in templates in this program but it is understandable because all you do is make a building 3D. There are basically no tools in this program because like I said it only makes a building 3D. This software does definitely does what it is intended to do because all it does is make a house or something 3D. What I like is that you can make anything 3D and it is not restricted to a special place. This software can definitely not be used in class. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * [|Cinema 4D] || Cinema 4D is a very very professional application to make 3D objects. For example, houses and people. You can animate and move the objects around and then see what you have done and review it, make it a movie, or even produce it if it's really good.

Cinema 4D is an application for the big imagination. Movies, Houses and people can be very significant to how good a movie can be. The professional thing about this application is that it has professional quality. The application is confusing and hard to use, but that the professional part. ||  ||   ||   || Merge
