SketchUp Reviews & Product Details - Page 4

As an architect, SketchUp is one of my most valuable and versatile tools in preliminary and schematic design. It is user friendly, plays nice with other softwares, produces great 3D imagery out of the box, and allows for quick study models in the early design phases.

There aren't many downsides when using SketchUp for what it's best at. I have found the software can be stretched to its limits with very large, very detailed models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick visualization tool. Quick to intersect complex volumes and determine how an intersection occurs. Can export non-orthsgonal model views to CAD linework to save drawing time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very annoying that you can't zoom in ultra close without a display error. If you are trying to fix a tiny model mistake, you cannot get "close" enough to see/find the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

this is my main tool to work on any type of model and custom pieces. User friendly and once you get familiar with it the workflow is amazing. I use the Pro version because I use layout to title blocks and make my drawings more professional. This is one of my main programs that I use on a daily basis.

sometimes it lags and I feel that the MAC version is less user-friendly than the Windows one. I think the integration should be improved there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used SketchUp since their early days in 1999 in Boulder. As an architect I have found the SketchUp is by far the best tool to quickly generate visual communication imagery in the design phase for both internal and external audiences. There is a vibrant community of artists, architects, planners, and visionaries who seem to agree with me and support the SketchUp community with outstanding extensions, plug-ins and other clever bolt-on capabilities .

The least helpful thing about SketchUp is it's capacity to work natively with curves and everything that follows from that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sketchup is so easy for all levels of design professionals to use. Anyone from a beginner out of college to the experienced project architect can use it and learn quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if Sketchup had a better connection to Revit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clients love to see the work produced on Sketchup. Sells the job immediately. The new features in Layout will eventually eliminate most of my autocad work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The clients want me to draw while on Zoom. They like to see options occuring immediately.

Too much of my time is wasted by entertaining these clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use! I'm obsessed with Layout. I used layout for all kinds of presentations. I use Layout with Sketchup for consturction documents and presentation drawings but I also use Layout for other photo presentations. It's much easier to use than Adobe for presentations with photos. LOVE IT... It's my go to first! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost keeps going up and up and the product stays the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is extremly important and invaulable to our business in order to portray our designs to our clients. It is our go to 3D modeling program, very easy to use and can be as detailed as needed to portray your design. It is very easy to learn. Tutorials are easily available for anything you are haveing an issue with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using shadows really slows down the program but that may just be the computational power of my computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am a landscape designer and really enjoy using Sketchup to bring to life the ideas of the clients. If there is an idea you can make it with Sketchup. I enjoy how you are able to learn at your own speed and how there is a large community who give great ideas and tips to help improve your job efficiency Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Layout needs a lot of work. Updating models takes so long, it would be nice if it was more integrated with sketchup, almost like a live update similar to Lumion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can quickly and easily draw what I need to show customers to help close the sales process of a cabinetry or furniture project. The better I can show what they'll have in their home before we go under contract, the more likely they are to move forward with us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mac computer updates create major usability issues that can take awhile to be resolved. I spent the first 3-4 months of 2024 crashing SU 2023 multiple times a day and was very frustrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
