What's the difference between Google SketchUp (free) and SketchUp Pro 5?
* Pro users are able to print and export raster images at higher-than-screen resolution.
* Pro users have access to the following 3D export formats: DWG, DXF, 3DS, OBJ, XSI, VRML and FBX.
* Pro users are able to export animations and walkthroughs as MOV (Mac) or AVI (Windows) files.
* Pro users get the Sandbox Tools (for organic modeling of terrain, etc) and the Film & Stage Tools (for pre-viz work).
* Pro users have access to the Pro Users' Forum
* Pro users have access to free email tech support for two years after they buy SketchUp Pro
* Finally, only SketchUp Pro is approved for commercial use; the Free version is licensed for personal use only.
