What I like most about Trimble Connect is that it keeps all project information in one place while making collaboration straightforward. It lets teams access, share, and review models and documents in real time, which helps cut down on miscommunication and keeps everyone on the same page. I also appreciate being able to view 3D models directly within the platform and track updates efficiently, since it makes overall project coordination feel much smoother.
I use SketchUp for garden architecture and landscape design. I like how SketchUp allows me to work either 2D or 3D very quickly and intuitively. It's a quick, easy, and accurate way to develop a base map to work from. I also like how basically any structural part can be built in SketchUp. The 3D Warehouse is useful many times in building outdoor room models, either to catch a texture or material, or even bring in different components as placeholders. Additionally, transitioning from hand drawing straight into SketchUp was very easy for me, even when it was Google SketchUp 20+ years ago.
A great tool to show your design to a client. Easy to use and excellent rendering library. It has a good performance level, which allows the team to work smoothly. Fair pricing, product, and a good support team when needed.
