SketchUp

Pros: Our Landscape Architects use it for presenting simple project concepts to our clients for initial buy in and approval to move forward with the next stage of design.

Cons: Rendering quality can be subpar and the software is limited when performing modeling functions. Overall the software still kicks out the drawing that works to get the job!

Pros: There is no other software as intuitive as SketchUp. Modeling in its interface feels just right, and it’s really ease to generate simple or very complex models and to produce great information with it. I just love it.

Cons: Although it has is tools for layer management, they are not as easy to use as in AutoCAD, Photoshop or almost any other graphic software. They could really improve on this to make it the best tool ever.

Pros: The fact there is a free version, which although limited compared with the paid version, it is a very powerful tool for early concept design for architecture or building development that can turn ideas into real.

Cons: At core SketchUp is a very simple CAD software - it is difficult to get real precision from SketchUp, and at times the tools feel more clunky to use than dedicated CAD software.

Pros: 1. It is a very efficient tool that me and my team use for 3d modelling in our interior design firm. 2. 3d Models from sketchup can be imported into Autocad to create 2d drawings such as elevation, saving our lot of time. 3. The 3d warehouse has extensive variety of items, that can be downloaded and further customised. 4. Plugins available make it very interesting, fun and increases efficiency while also providing a shortcut method to work. 5. The plugin compatibility with rendering softwares like Vray and Enscape makes it very easy to do live updates and see the test render before producing final.

Cons: 1. It usually lags or slow downs while modelling when the file gets heavy. 2. Sudden crashing of the file while doing complex modelling. 3. It requires internet connection while I opt to do some changes in the model.

Pros: What I like most about SketchUp is how simple and user-friendly it is. It’s great for quickly creating 3D models and visualizing ideas without a steep learning curve. The drawing tools are intuitive, and it’s very handy for early design stages.

Cons: The rendering quality isn’t the best unless you use plugins, and for more detailed or complex projects, it sometimes feels limited compared to other software.

Pros: I use SketchUp for 3d Modelling. So, the ease of use is the main features that I like about SketchUp. Other thing is, it is easy to install and use plugins in this software. The true version of architectural design is visualized using this software.

Cons: I don't like having to use same command for different use. For example, you have to use M command for both moving and copying albeit you have to use control sign for copying. Still, if there were independent command for each use, it would have been so much easier like AutoCAD

Pros: It does what I want it to and has a large library of assets that can be loaded into it. It also exports into other programs verry well. Drawing and modeling are straight forward and easy to do.

Cons: Honestly I don't have anything negative to say about SketchUp. My biggest grievance is that the free version restricts certain features but that can be easily rectified buy purchasing the paid version which does everything you could want it to.

Pros: Extremely easy to use for routine modeling in architectural office and essential for quick volumetric studies. The 3D Warehouse library is comprehensive and diverse in materials and components.

Cons: The program easily becomes cumbersome with larger projects and crashes unexpectedly. The developer's rendering extensions still need significant development to avoid the need for additional support in more formal projects.

Pros: Sketchup Kitchen and Bathroom Design sketchup sketchupdrawing plan their kitchen or bath design. I can deliver 3D images to clients without having to wait for full CAD renders, which means approvals happen faster.

Cons: The learning curve on model precision was a bit steep, and it’s not free to export in some important formats.

Pros: The software is good and with some patience and initiative you can teach yourself to use it. Export to pdf to share with contractor is a nice feature for small projects

Cons: Trimble failed to honor the cancellation when I’d completed the project and finished using the product. If you plan to only use this product for a limited period of time then DO NOT SUBSCRIBE as you will be stuck with paying the fee for a while.

Pros: The ability to create detailed, creative 3D models.

Cons: Challenging learning curve, technical issues at times that causes crashing of software.

Pros: It is the only way I know how to design flight simulator scenery

Cons: All the models that are for sale are kind of expensive.

Pros: Fast and easy to learn... plenty of assets in the 3d warehouse, plus tons of extensions (some free) that help expedite the process of producing a model.

Cons: Wish some of the third party "paid" extensions would be incorporated into the program itself, especially for the architectural / construction side of things. For instance, Medeek's extensions and Condoc extension... I think if they were to offer a version that was just for architecture with these extensions as part of that package it would go over well... so I don't have to manage 10 other subscriptions and when to renew them and what not.

Pros: Easy to use and user-friendly for beginner

Cons: costly for small-scale firms and individuals.

Pros: Sketchup is one of the more simple 3D modeling software programs, making it easy for beginners and advanced 3D modelers to use.

Cons: There are tonnes of plug-ins for SketchUp, and it would be great if there were more educational videos on how to use each tool.

Pros: I enjoy the quickness of being able to develop a building concept for the exterior with regards to the shape and material

Cons: Doing a full building design can be done but it is a laborious process.

Pros: It is quick to mock up to scale drawings. Easy to add color and use extensions to create realistic renderings. I've been trying out the new AI feature for renderings and working well.

Cons: How everything is a different plane and it doesn't work in complete forms like other programs. Makes editing a drawing difficult if you don't draw it completely right the first time.

Pros: It is user friendly, efficient and has a lot of different tools. Having used it for more than 5 years I've become proficient and are able to create interior design layouts with ease and efficiency.

Cons: It sometimes freezes when using it on Mac. I'm not sure how the experience differs on Microsoft but it can be frustrating when the program freezes on Mac (this would also depend of course on the spec of your computer)

Pros: It is an intuitive software. Easy to use. You can get totally professional results.

Cons: The price could be better compared to other software.

Pros: That O was able to draw on my iPad with ease.

Cons: It wasn’t too user friendly, it would sometimes draw a line where I didn't want it to. Some of the user tools are hidden and you need to really look for it.

Pros: I like most about sketchup is that it is very easy to learn and it is the only 3D software, aside from autocad, which can be accessed even in an intel core laptop. Thanks for this software, I am able to do a 3D perspective, even though I am not using a high-end laptop.

Cons: I think what I like least about Sketchup is that it is a little bit pricey.

Pros: The tools are good for new beginners who want to design layouts.

Cons: The tools lack the advanced options in other competitive software such as Revit.

Pros: La fonctionnalité principalement intutive

Cons: Un peu limité une fois que nous sont bien lancer
