"SketchUp: Designers’ Ultimate "Ideation Engine""

5/5

What do you like best about SketchUp?

It is every designer's go-to 3D software and a digital sketchbook with the most easiest user interface that doesn't require much learning. It remains indispensable to most of the firms of the design industry as it is allows designers very fast iterations, beautiful visualizations and professional grade performance and collaboration. The software is easy to setup and the on boarding process is smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SketchUp?

The major factor is the 'bug splat". Despite its versions and performance have upgraded tremendously over the years, SketchUp is still prone to crashes when models become overly heavy with un-purged components.. Also, complex geometry cannot be easily created without third-party plugins. For a tool that started as free/affordable option, the recurring pro subscription pricing may feel steep for solo practitioners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SketchUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

It creates a perfect bridge between 2D sketch and ideation and the final resulting 3D render. It can be seamlessly integrated into AutoCAD's workflow, AI's workflow and also as external exports for a cloud based softwares like Coohom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
