Google SketchUp (free) is an easy-to-learn 3D modeling program whose few simple tools enable you to create 3D models of houses, sheds, decks, home additions, woodworking projects – even space ships. You can add details, textures and glass to your models, design with dimensional accuracy, and place your finished models in Google Earth, share them with others by posting them to the 3D Warehouse, or print hard copies. Google SketchUp (free) is a great way to discover if 3D modeling is right for you.

Google SketchUp is free for personal use. No registration is required.

They bought the company - @Last Software I think. This is a tool used by architects to quickly render projects. My son is an arch student and it is amazing to watch him use the software. We were looking to do a remodel of our bedroom, and in less than an hour, he had a 3-D model that allowed us to visualize what he was showing us on a laptop.

It is a very mature product, up to Version 5 iirc.
