Anybody use this?

I ran across a source that uses a free 3D graphics program called, "SketchUp." A weird name, but I sort of wonder if I could use this to design 3D games for Blitz 3D at all... This is a rather interesting program, sort of wondering if it's worth a download or not:

Looks awesome enough, but is it really good for game design or not?

Very fast for making scenes, buildings, statues etc, easy enough, but you need to sort out the export manually(a bit messed, sometimes I have to adjust many things in MilkShape)

Maybe they have fixed many things in new versions, I'm still using old version.

However the price is a bit steep for hobbists, otherwise a good design solution.
