Build fold-up paper models with Waybe
Making 3D models on the computer is great and all, but have you ever wanted a real-life, physical, breaks-if-you-drop-it object to hold in your hands? Of course you have — we’ve all been spoiled by Captain Picard’s replicator. But we might have to wait awhile for “Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.” to become a reality.
Until then, you’ve got a couple of choices for turning your faces and edges into something you can put on your coffee table. Waybe, a brand-new plugin for Google SketchUp. It can be downloaded from:

As a former architecture student, I can definitely think of several occasions when something like this would’ve saved me hours of time spent making physical models. I can also imagine Waybe being great for K-12 education. I myself am about to build a paper model of my house — so much for spending the weekend outside.
