### Comment 3

What I primarily use SketchUp for is extremely quick concept ideas for the construction of a project or the explaining of a project. The programs easy toolbar allows for multiple iterations to be created allowing for a better understanding of whatever is being designed. I have used this method for full scale buildings, tiny houses, chicken coups, all the way down to planter boxes. You can make the concepts rough and unpolished, or you can get a great level of detail through putting in extra time. V-Ray also is compatible allowing for realistic views of the concept that was created.
