Google bought the folks that write Sketchup, a tool many of us here use
for mocking up our designs and many more would like to if it wasn't so
expensive. Anyway in Google tradition they are offering a free version
of it, you can download it here

That is truly awesome. I'll also chime in that SketchUp is a great 3D tool
for quickly mocking up designs. I was about to sketch some options for a
new front porch for my father using it.
