SketchUp Reviews & Product Details

The fact that SketchUp is very intuitive and quick to use is still the main reason why I love it. It is a very simple program, but you still can create clear 3D models without going through a long learning process. The interface is light but it gives a feeling of total control, and then tools like push/pull or easy component management among others, support to quickly modifying design. It is the best tool especially for fast architectural concepts to get your ideas, the large 3D Warehouse library is a great time-saver. Though it is not the most powerful software when it comes to detailed rendering, it is still the fastest, easiest, and most user-friendly solution for transforming your concepts into a tidy 3D space.

SketchUp is frustrating to me due to the fact that it limits a user when most projects become more sophisticated, especially in areas such as high-detail modeling or advanced rendering. If the file is heavy, performance will definitely decline and for the features that are considered to be very important like powerful rendering, advanced modeling tools, and better material management—most of them already be paid plugins or third-party extensions. The ease of use is a plus for newcomers to 3D modeling, but it can eventually turn out to be a constraint for projects that are meant for professional quality.

I like SketchUp's compatibility and its easy-to-use setup. It's great for creating 3D models of houses and blocks, which is essential for my interior designing work. I prefer using the Vray with SketchUp for realistic renders, and I find the modeling feature very useful for customizing various models. The step-by-step guide provided during the initial setup made it very easy to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There should be more features easy to install rather than plugins, it should be built inside the software. Also, Vray settings should use AI now as it's becoming outdated and takes time depending on the hardware GPU. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use SketchUp 7, the same version of the program Google used to create all the buildings in Google Earth and the last free version that allowed you to import AutoCAD files. The fact that it is also old enough to vote doesn't bother me. I also use Kerkythea 2008 for renderings and animations. SketchUp is easy to use, highly intuitive, extremely efficient and provides excellent results. I began doing 3D stuff back in the 80's using AutoCAD and rendering in AccuRender. This is much easier and faster.

My motto is "Cheap is good, free is better." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SketchUp 2025 is largely bloatware. Rather than updating the software and removing the outdated parts, Trimble has simply piggy-backed new options on top of existing ones, resulting in an unstable, slow-loading, frustrating software that is monetized out the wazoo and primarily concerned with separating users from their cash through a subscription.

the ease of usable one to modelling rather than 3dsmax Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i dislike about the sketchup is the sketchup bug one , it closed unexpectedly , i hate that much 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.

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.
