The 3D online design world gets more and more interesting and more and more cohesive. Our house design was put into Google's SketchUp which allows us to move around and through the design. We can also watch the sun rise and set and see how the light plays through the house at anytime of the day or any time of the year. This a great tool to check the passive solar design with actual sunlight. For more details, I've been playing with Ikea kitchen planner to get ideas for how some specifics will look in our kitchen. Now Whirlpool has its appliances on Google's 3D warehouse almost ready made to slot into SketchUped, Ikea planned kitchens everywhere. Visit a new site to me, Ogleearth.com with all the details.
