Quickly throwing together moderately complex 3D objects. Particularly 
ones with lots of straight lines. (E.g., buildings, machinery, tools, etc.)

There's a bunch of tutorial videos on Google's website. For example, in 
one a guy spends 10 minutes tracing a (very complicated) CAD drawing of 
a building interior. Trace it in 2D, extrude into 3D, cut out a few 
rectangular doors and windows, in about 30 minutes total you have a true 
3D model of the main parts of this house...

It's great fun, but frustratingly hard to do certain things.
