Trimble's Sketchup (now owned by Google) is a software for viewing and creating 3D architectural drawings.  It's free to download.  What's more impressive is there are some users who have uploaded their Lao related work on to what they call their 3D Warehouse.

Have you ever seen the Pha That Luang or a Lao house in 3D?  Check it out!
