Good article about this plugin.

Sketchup was known in 2004 and earlier.
Over all, great software.

SketchUp was positioned as an easier 3D tool for design professionals *before* it was acquired by Google. I first discovered SketchUp through an ad in Architectural Record or Interior Design Magazine (can’t remember which) in 2004 or 2005 and got it for my product designer wife.

You’re absolutely right. Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve corrected the story above.

It was developed by a company called Green Building Studio. Demeter was one of our partners and they developed the plug-in for Google SketchUp that allows it to export gbXML files from SketchUp into Green Building Studio.
I have been an employee of Green Building Studio (now Autodesk) since 2000.

Thank you
