   As oldusty said, SketchUp is available for free. Try this link: http://sketchup.google.com/download/gsu.html

   I would give pdf plans less than 3 years of "useful life" in the woodworking and fine homebuilding world. Sketchup is so easy to use, allowing you to adapt plans and add your own value.

   Sketchup component libraries will become essential shop tools for many woodworkers, artisans and builders, and likely become essential to marketing of products like fasteners, drawer handles, hinges, commercial lumber, plywood, etc.

   I hope that Taunton takes a leadership role in this area.

   I think Taunton already has done so by offering both PDF versions of plans as well as SketchUp models of the projects in the digital Plans section.
