I have been using AutoCad since monitors were monocrome, and when I first started learning SketchUp I was frustrated that the progam didn't have some of the AutoCad features, but as I got better, I now am frustrated that AutoCad is missing some SketchUp features. SketchUp has a very short learning curve and is a very fast way to get 3D "sketches" for form strudy. It's easy to use and has some great features that I wish AutoCad had. The warehouse is a great feature, but also a deterent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The web based program is an issue, and the editing can be trublesome. Sometimes they snap is sloppy, and creates little anoying errors in the drawing that won't close. The warhouse makes me worry about sharing my files with anyone. For fear my drawings will get easily spread to the universe. And where is the mirror function? I get tied of stretching things inside out. Give me a mirror tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is intuitive and very user friendly.
This makes the learning curve very fast and easy to implement.
Allows for instant and fluid dialog of design decisions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hard to use as construction documents for large complex projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sketch up is easy to learn , hard to master. this is a good thing on both counts. I was able to quickly learn to navigate the tools, and I had my first drawing done in a couple of hours. At the same time, there are countless tools and ways to make your drawings better and more detailed. I have only been using sketch up for the last month, but I believe I will be using it for a long time to come. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be complicated to move around your model, and I found it difficult to convert to 3d at times Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Powerful working drawings creation and very helpful project collaboration and the documentation capability is perfect. Workflow management using the tool is intuitive and easy to create project reports and drafting functionalities are incredible and on first deployment of the product the process was quite easy.

It is intuitive and approachable. Anyone can model in 3D. But it is also precise enough for pro use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Everything is a point or line. There are no tru curves. Curves are made up of definable segments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
