It is very protaic to use and there are a lot of ready-made models in the warehouse. anyone can easily make modelling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
as updates come in, it starts to demand more and more hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like SketchUp's ease of use and intuitiveness. I also like it focus on graphic quality. I appreciate how well it works with Layout. I think that for small to medium-sized projects ist SU is a good tool. I'm not sure it has the sophisitcation to document a large project fully. I do wish a tool as intuitive with the ease of use SU existed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Still not sure the conversion and importation of DWG/DXF files are as efficient as it could be. I've always felt it a little inefficient to clean up line work when importing and exporting these files. I also wonder if a line weight feature within SU would be a good thing.I wish there were a way to x-ref in DWG and DXF files, similar to the way SU and LO work together. Model sizes when drawing something complex is still a problem as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keyboard shortcuts, access to components in the 3D warehouse, exporting to JPEG images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hasn’t been working with the HDMI port on my desktop docking station. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to create detailed custom spaces with actual materials and products I have selected while also going from plan to elevation to perspective all in one file is so easy. There are tons of videos available to learn the program quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a lot of extensions and its hard to distinguish which ones are the best for what I need so It takes more additional research to find out what others in my field are using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


It allows me to design interiors, furniture and architecture as I would build. It allows me to direct fabricators to execute exactly as I want it. There is a broad community of users that are a boon to finding solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a work in progress, I find if I have a problem I can find a solution. Most all of their upgrades expidite the process. I must admit that most all my complaints get addressed eventually or I find easy work arounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sketchup has been easy to learn and use. There are lots of features to support you and many of the questions I run into are answered by googling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish that layout was better integrated with sketchup. I find that i have to go back and forth between the two programs several times to tweak my documents and each time I have to save sketchup then request the latest version in document set up within layout.

Sketchup has an exceptionally well designed user interface that is inherently intuitive. The ultimate functionality of the application is expandable around a small set of core functions; so, the user can customize the experience to minimize the clutter of functions that are unneeded. Sketchup is the best example of the KISS (keep it simple stupid) principle applied well to a piece of software that I have ever experienced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sketchup's sister program, Layout, has serious speed issues and is inconsistent with Sketchup's terminology and sequencing of selections and settings. Someone really needs to sit down and overhall the whole thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User-friendly, intuituve. Well-priced. Excellent design tool. Refines/ articulates our three-dimensional thinking as architects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No dislikes observed. Perhaps the way tools shift around between versions can be a little irritating, but it's all for improvement of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
