    Yesterday, with little fanfare, Google sold Sketch Up 3D modeling software to Trimble Navigation.

    I am interested to know whether others in the Architectural community have thoughts on the news of this change of ownership and whether it may stimulate a shift to alternative platforms. There was no information on how Google Warehouse will be managed.
