Spotsaas Editor’s POV

SketchUp's main strength is its learning curve—most users move from basic to productive within days, not weeks. The 3D-to-2D conversion works reliably for architectural drawings and permit sets. The component library is extensive, which speeds up common tasks like adding doors, windows, and furniture. However, verify in a demo that the software handles your ...Read more

Sketchup vs other CAD and for Layout software

What do you like best? Quick and easy to make cabinets and plywood parts. You can set hotkeys nicely. You can make components which allows you to have copies of parts, and if you edit a part in one location it applies that edit to all components. You can take sections through your parts so that you can easily see what's inside your cabinets or boxes. Layout is an accompanying program that is SLOW but very nicely makes professional drawings to send to architects and design teams and ...

With some errors and inaccuracies but useful for 3d design

What do you like best? The ease of use is surprising, has very dynamic commands and tools capable of modeling a project quickly and in an orderly manner, its file import and export capabilities are very useful to complement the tool with other softwares of the same family, like its collaborative market since it allows you to collaborate and also download models already made by other colleagues and professionals from the design area that will serve to facilitate your work. What do you ...

Sketchup has its place

What do you like best? I like Sketchup's intuitiveness and that it allows me to draw in 3D. What do you dislike? I personally don't like Layout. I find it difficult to create professional looking drawings with it. The snap for dimensioning is not very friendly either. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We can share between the design team and our builders and all operate in the user friendly environment.

Simple to learn and be proficient in a short time.

What do you like best? SketchUp is a great program because it can be used to solve very simple tasks in a matter of minutes, or it can be used to solve or explain very complex tasks in the construction industry. The different functions and tools within the program allow the user to get creative with how they "sketch" shapes and geometries, and the option to use content uploaded from other users on the 3D warehouse allows one to quickly throw together a beautiful logistics plan, rendering ...

Architectural Modeling and Rendering with Sketchup

What do you like best? I like that Sketchup offers access to infinite possibilities in design through creating your own geometry and also importing projects from the 3D warehouse. What do you dislike? I wish Sketchup was more compatible with CAD programs such as AutoCAD and REVIT. Sometimes the geometry is a little messy when importing/exporting etc. Recommendations to others considering the product: Using Sketchup along with other 3D Cad software as well as rendering software ...
