OK everyone, this is the official Google Sketchup arcade model thread.
For those of you who have not read the other thread or know the program, let me explain.
Google Sketchup is a free program which is available for download. The program is geared toward people who have a fascination with making digital models based off of many everyday things. It is a great tool to use if you've ever wondered how best to plan and layout your private gameroom or whatever. Works basically the same as graph paper and square cutouts, but is easier to "see" the space in 3D.
Once you have downloaded the program, go to the 3D warehouse and type in a search for anything you need, from couches and toilets to cabinets and beer bottles.
Like TM520's awesome Paper model thread, let's showcase our arcade layouts, arcade cabinet mock-ups, or typical questions on the program here, to make it easier for new folks to find in a search engine. I think we've pillaged and plundered Arcadenut's Gameroom layout thread long enough. And the ongoing interest from KLOVers to create layouts and models is deserving of it's own thread now.
Here is the original thread for future reading:

To help track down great-looking arcade models that have already been created and available for downloading, I've organized some of our stuff below. The files are relatively small, hogging less than 1mb to 10mb a peice.

These are great databases to find arcade cabinets that have been made and ready to install into your layout, so you can better configure wall space. There are a few other random games floating in the 3D warehouse, so feel free to crap-shoot "arcade" in a search there.
Here's a great instructional video made by KLOVer orion3311. It's a perfect example of what Google Sketchup can be used for.
