"Great integrations for acoustics work!"

4/5

What do you like best about SketchUp?

Sketchup is extremely useful for my company's work in acoustic analysis; we use it primarily for building models for CATT, which is a program for simulating the acoustic environments of spaces we design, such as concert halls and theaters. The extensions make it easy to import preexisting 3d models from programs like Revit or Rhino so that we can simplify them in SketchUp, then export them for analysis in CATT.

What do you dislike about SketchUp?

Coming from programs like AutoCAD, Revit, or SolidWorks, it can be difficult to get used to the interface and controls. My coworkers and I (who primarily work in Revit) also have a hard time extracting information from SketchUp models. Because of this, it's mainly used as a transitionary tool between another 3d modelling software and CATT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SketchUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

SketchUp is great at helping us take existing 3d models and integrate them into our specialty acoustics software (CATT). It saves us an incredible amount of time, since the alternative would be to completely redraw the model using CATT (which is much less intuitive than SketchUp).
