"Excellent use of creating 3D Renderings!"
5/5
What do you like best about SketchUp?

It is so versatile & easy to navigate. Using it for our clients has really elevated our sales process and makes it so easy for our clients to visualize our products in their space using the 3D Renderings we create in sketch up. We use sketch up everyday in our line of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchUp?

I would like to see more shortcuts (when inputting colors/patterns) to eliminate using the mouse. We use huge screens when working in sketch up so trailing through the screen to click on something is so tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Extremely easy to learn"
5/5
What do you like best about SketchUp?

I really enjoyed how easy it was to learn how to use Sketchup. The basic membership is also a great way to start since you don't need to commit to a huge software package to get going. Once I really started making complex designs, all I needed to do was upgrade so that I could run the software locally and increase performance. There is a huge knowledgebase online that makes learning easy. I went from nothing to building complex home plans in a matter of months. Awesome product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchUp?

Not everyone in the architectural community uses it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Serious shortcomings compared to other software"
1.5/5
What do you like best about SketchUp?

It's easy to pick up, good for using with Enscape. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchUp?

It's lacking basic modeling features for Architecture:

It's crazy to have to pay for the software and then pay for Flextools to get basic features like placing a window or door.

This should be built into the software and it's a major reason I will no longer be using Sketchup in my workflow in the future.

Also there's no dark mode which is standard in most modeling software. Sketchup could be incredible but imo it's going to fall behind in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Incredible tool for design conceptualization"
5/5
What do you like best about SketchUp?

Simple tools. Easy to understand. Very helpful for quickly mocking up mechanical designs in 3D space, for conceptualizing process flow, and for space constraints. Also extremely useful for layout designing of building space, for looking at floorspace, and for utility layout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchUp?

Large files tend to bog down the computer somewhat. I know my hardware should be able to very easily handle Sketchup's load, so it is a bit frustrating at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"3D Play-Doh"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SketchUp?

It is very very user friendly, easy to use and understand. Of course it can get more complex to use depending on the user requirements, but in general terms is the quickest way of putting 3D ideas to life and develop in different fields of art, architecture, crafts and design, among others Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchUp?

Sometimes it can be unstable and have bugsplats. Also, despite there are ways to make organic objects, you have to rely a lot on the plugins that are online, and can also increase the instability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
