Which is the faster method for building 3D modeling, that is the question. SketchUp can install other third-party plugins that assist in speeding up your 3D modeling work. In the current society, time equals money, and contracts are crucial. SketchUp can save you money and enable quick review by your customers." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Basic tool is not enough, like mirror. From my thoughts, 2D drawing's tools should be configured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work for a custom Millwork place, sketchup has been very useful to show the clients a quick preview of their personalized furniture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To need a plugin or being changing the view type to avoid the display with open or broken shapes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick ability to view design ideas in 3D and utilize the 3d community Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Formatting with Revit via materials and objects are not easily maintained when converting it back and forth (too expensive and difficult to do this) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is clean and incredibly user friendly. I learned .skp on my own through online tutorials and trial & error. I Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was more integrated light rendering built into skp, not through a dedicated plug in. The 24 update has changed the game a bit but I still would love to see a bit more fidelity with reflective textures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick modeling and editing, intuitive interface and tools, connection to geolocation tools, open to useful third-party plug-ins Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Modeling curved and circular surfaces is cumbersome if the user is not very experienced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SketchUp is such a big part of our process at my company. It's amazing to be able to model every detail of a home exactly how we want it built, and to be able to show the clients exactly how their space will look. I love the use of Enscape with SketchUp to create these realistic renderings. The whole program is pretty intuitive and easy to learn - it's easy to create almost whatever you want. And the 3D warehouse is also a huge plus, as a residential designer being able to find tons of pre-built furniture is a life saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Orbiting and creating views can be a bit tricky when you get stuck in walls and have to spend time getting back to where you were. I also wish there were an easier way to have plans and elevations set up for each space rather than creating them individually one by one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's great for visualization of ideas to seel to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it had better rendering capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Sketchup for drawing out rooms to see how a concept piece may look. In the production side it is invaluable to use for getting all measurements and cuts just right. There is a cut list plugin available (for free no less) that makes the whole process painless. With these tools I can make projects with extreme accuracy and minimal waste not to mention I have clean and clear detailed pictures for documentation if needed.

Minor nitpicks, some I come to learn do have solutions. I would like every project to have default settings like units used (I prefer to stick to fractional inches only). Groups and tags take a little bit to wrap one's head around that may be used to a workflow that uses layers or the like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SketchUp is a good lowcost 3D program to use and it is easy to get familiar with using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SketchUp tends to get confused with the more detailed rederings. The more detailed the design gets, the more the program makes mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about SketchUp is that it has a very quick learning curve where you can very quickly generate Drawings that are good enough to convey a complex issue that is displayed in 3D for others to be able to understand and respond to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about SketchUp is that I do not have enough time in my life to venture into the more sophisticated "virtual" views that Sketchup offers. The Software temps me like a work on a fish hook!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
