Google SketchUp Set to Become Trimble SketchUp

摘要

In 2006, ©Last Software's SketchUp found a new home at Google when it was acquired by the search engine giant. In April, history repeated— with a different player. Trimble, known among civil engineers and construction crews for its GPS, laser and optical devices, has signed on to buy SketchUp from Google for an undisclosed sum. In a blog post that echoed the one posted after Google's acquisition, John Bacus, product manager for SketchUp, announced "A new home for SketchUp" (sketch update, blogspotxom).
