Google SketchUp main page.

A Pro version is available for $495 and supports additional file formats, high resolution rendering, and other features.

This is intuitive and extremely easy-to-use software.

In the screenshot of the free version SketchUp, below, I’ve been piling on and extruding through a box with random shapes. With the paint bucket tool selected, animated context-sensitive help appears.

For free models, visit the Google 3D Warehouse.
