I like that I can get a decent looking render easily. Being able to use other systems as render nodes on the network also make creating larger and more complex renders a little less painless as you are able to reduce the time needed.
For 2D, I prefer Autocad to Solidworks as the latter is more limited.
V-ray does a great job on rendering. It has all it takes to get photo-realistic renders. It uses CPU and GPU. has a great real-time rendering speed and quality. It's hard to think of something you don't have control over when it comes to rendering using...
Crashes, buggy, missing license, bad service. From the get go, it screws with my Sketchup Pro, they get along like milk and acid. Freezes when I toggle between Sketchup and the Vray material panel, crashes when I render, missing licenses when I restart, and...
