It’s really easy to sketch out my ideas and bring them to life. It does a great job of letting me play around with different concepts and explore my ideas as I go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though it’s easy to use, it’s difficult to extract information from what’s been sketched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sketchup helps me to work easy and fast for a good scale modelling, easy to start for beginners as well, better to shoe good concepts with in no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sketchup is ok for presentation but need a rendering software to render the models to create realistic renders, has many lag issues when file size goes up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sketchup is easy to learn and fast to complet a small to medium scale projects for architecture and interiors, if we have a great rendering tool linked to SKP then we can create wonders very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sketchup has so many lag issues, if we work with more complex shapes the file become more heavy and more lag. Strictly for small and medium scale projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

inference, clean modelling and fun to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

no real curves, materials editing, challenges with LayOut Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visualization & 3d modelling software engine. Just plug & play Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rendering engine is lagging & plugin are required Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More to learn, realistic design and view Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rendering take a lot of time to save it can be done in lesser time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a very user-friendly application. Very easy to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cannot think of any negative comment. Maybe only the options in layout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to learn yet very powerful in its application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s not much to dislike. I do wish there was a one time purchase rather than a subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the standout aspects of SketchUp is its versatility. Whether I’m designing architectural models, creating interior layouts, or visualizing landscaping projects, SketchUp allows me to bring my ideas to life quickly and accurately. The program’s vast library of pre-made components and textures also speeds up the design process and enhances creativity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While SketchUp excels in many areas, there are a few drawbacks, especially when it comes to 3D printing. The software isn’t specifically designed for creating models intended for 3D printing, which can lead to issues like non-manifold geometry, overlapping faces, or gaps in the model. These issues often require additional time for troubleshooting and fixing before a model is ready for printing.

Additionally, the precision tools in SketchUp, while sufficient for many design tasks, can sometimes feel limiting when exact measurements and tolerances are critical for 3D printing. This can result in models that don’t print as intended without further refinement in more specialized 3D printing software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sketchup is a pretty intuitive program to learn from the moment you start. I like all of the free plug-ins and the support videos. Layout is a great extension as well, just wish it was a little easier to use for some things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the big things that I wish was better, was using the groups and components. They do work well, but I wish there was a way to add parts and pieces to an existing component (like a block in AutoCAD). This would be extremely helpful when you realize that you need to add/change something and the only way is to create a new component and then have to start the process over. Unless there is a plug-in for doing that, that I haven't ran across yet? Another thing I wish it was able to do was open another window (similar to AutoCAD), instead of having to open another session of SU when you are using components, etc., from other models and being able to do a copy/paste.
