I’ve appreciated the use of this site but can’t afford to pay for the functions that I’d like so it’s time for a change.

I first tried it out a couple of years back and then, not having any reason to use it, put it away in a dark virtual cupboard.

    I needed to create a model today though so I reached deep into the back of the cupboard and was able to whip this up in a couple of hours (in between meetings and reacquainting myself with elements of how it works).

    There is also a nifty third party plugin with the imaginative name of Sketchup Web Exporter that enables you to display your models in a web browser – you can actually click and drag on this object to rotate it.
