I like the ease of use. I also use it frequently during our home build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The pricing structure. I wish there was a one time payment option for lifetime access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I liked that sketchup is easy to navigate and allows for very quick 3D mock up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sketchup is always crashing, especially when using more complex material renderings. It also does not have a good way to exporting 2D graphics from Sketchup to Layout or any other drawing organization program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More easier to use in comparison with other 3D modeling software. Also, there is a wide variety of plugins that help in making the modeling easier for Architects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The problem with SketchUp is that there are really important plugins their prices are a bit expensive for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a great aid for iterative design. It is quick, intuitive, and multi-faceted allowing for versatile use throughout the design process. There are a wide range of tools, and more to be discovered whenever I need them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The downside to SketchUp is it lack of live connection to other software like AutoCAD. At times I wish it was able to automatically update when editing a design in CAD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Skecthup is so visual that as a non architect I find it super easy to create a visual representation of what I am trying to achieve. I know there are so many features I don't know how to use yet but for creating quick mockups it is awesome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a lot of tricks that I have found out by trial and error. Once you start in the wrong direction it can be really hard to come back without restarting the project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SketchUp allows us to quickly develop 3D designs in an intuitive and efficient way, accommodating iterative design development changes and gives us the ability to bring the client along the journey with us through the use of rendering views and vignettes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Because SketchUp is separate from other drafting software, we sometimes have a divergence in accuracy between the model and the construction drawings. Complex geometries can be challenging to edit. An improvement in the future would be an easier way to interoperate with AutoCAD or Revit to allow easier auditing of the SketchUp geometry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's relatively easy and has a nice product and model warehouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I know that there are short cuts and features I don't know how to use. Sometimes it's hard to adjust existing models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a super helpful software that we use to help our clients visualize our designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is not very intuitive, some training is definteily required Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like its simplicity and powerful tools. After learning the layout and keyboard shortcuts, I can rapidly design prototypes and renderings for my businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the mouse navigation around the 3-D space can be a little bit cumbersome and I'm having to switch back-and-forth between various view angles, so I wish that there was a little bit more intuitive way to maneuver around the design space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simple and intuitive yet powerful. You get out of it what you put into it. Simple or complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Has been consistently glitchy in certain instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
