Does anyone know of any software that will take a 3D model (ideally from
something like Sketchup) and display it on a 3D screen so that it can be
viwed with 3D glasses?

I don't necessarily want to do design that way but it would be good to
be able to show others a design that just hovers in space and can be
rotated.

Output two time-synced video animations, each one playing from a
slightly different perspective and then glue the two side-by-side in a
video editing package? Then get the 3D TV to view it in SBS mode.

Or, if you want to do it live, perhaps could be done using two virtual
machines in RDP sessions shown SBS showing the same model (again each
different perpective). You'd share the mouse actions (er, how? Y-cable?)
so that it identically does the same scene change to each.

That would be how I'd bodge it.

Never tried to do it. But try searching Anaglyph 3D software

Looks promising.

My TV is active glasses which is OK when it is dark but peripheral
vision flicker will give you a headache in no time flat in daylight. I
would only consider polarised 3D passive glasses in future.

Software above might also work on a PC with red/cyan or yellow/blue.
