The best 3D App for Non Engineers
Reviewed on 2024/07/03
Pros
I've been using SketchUp for at least 6 years, and it is the best 3D software where I can design and prototype products like pieces of furniture and home decor. As a designer, this software empowers you to create amazing 3D objects.
Cons
Maybe it is getting old, but other new software as gaining more relevance because they are most close to the latest trends.

I have been working on Sketchup for 3 years. This is a very good software for making buildings of different types of shapes and it is very easy to do so, as it has a 3D warehouse from where you can pick up complete furniture or items from the model. Then there are plugins which help you a lot in making difficult shapes easily.
Pros
SketchUp, combined with its various plugins, is a powerful tool for architecture students.Easy to learn interface , best for beginners. Offers wide range of plugins, extensions, and tools for creating innovative 3d models. It has ability to create a photorealistuc render with the help of plugins like V-ray, Lumion, and Enscape.
Cons
Sketchup has performance issues large and complex models can cause SketchUp to slow down or crash, especially on less powerful computers. Mastering advance extensions, tools, and plugins can take time .

We used to use it a lot more often to mock up models in 3D space and then drop them into Google Earth to render on site renderings.
Pros
It's intuitive and a great starting tool for shaping 3D masking. It's good for people who don't have the time to learn Revit or heavy duty tools and need to mock something up quickly in 3D.
Cons
After it got bought out, I feel like the program isn't as good as it used to be. That's just my personal opinion.

It is free to define it in a word.
I think it's a really suitable software for expressing the thoughts that come out of your head.
Pros
It can be designed freely from small to large works.
Above all, it is a really big advantage that it can be handled easily compared to other programs.
Work can be completed easily.
Among similar software, it is recommended as the simplest program to complete a work piece.
Cons
Everything is perfect, but people who have used the PRO version will know.
This version is a free version, and there are so many limited functions that I think it is very limited to deal with when it comes to difficult tasks.

Pros
The easy of use with a very quick learning curve has solidified my love is this product. I've been using SketchUp since the product first came into the scene.
Cons
I don't like the cost increases the past few years. My partner is an educator and it was free until a few years ago.

Overall, I love SketchUp because I am able to use it in my low-end laptop to make a realistic 3D model.
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.

SketchUp is the best 3D modelling software from small 3d models to a whole lot urban development modelling.
Pros
The user interface, the straightforwards commands, and the drafting buttons makes SketchUp the easiest 3D modelling software to jump start with and become a 3D modeller professional. So, the learning curve for SketchUp is fast once your familiar of extensive features.
Cons
The software is kind of addictive, for once you start you can go on and on to enhance your 3D modelling as quickly and easy as possibly be.

SketchUp enables me to create 3D models of spaces, helping me to plan and visualize room layouts, furniture placement, lighting, and material choices. It aids in communicating design ideas to clients and streamlining the design process.
Pros
The Push-Pull tool in SketchUp enables you to quickly extrude 2D shapes into 3D forms by simply clicking and dragging. This feature makes it easy to create and modify complex shapes, allowing for efficient design iterations.
Cons
While SketchUp provides basic materials and rendering capabilities, i will desire more advanced options for realistic material representations and high-quality rendering directly within the software. Integrating more advanced rendering features or improved material libraries could enhance the visualization and presentation of designs.

It was a great native app for designing and producing architectural home drawings. Now it is a limited web interface that is glitchy and often crashes.

Sketchup has been overall fantastic. It’s definitely my first application I open when I’m planning any build.
Pros
Sketchup is very easy to use with just a few YouTube videos as tutorials. Once you start using it to plan your builds it will be an indispensable tool in your toolkit.
Cons
I wish you could easily color the background or crest ground. Sometimes it’s difficult floating in space. I wish you could use metric and imperial more easily within a project.

As a tool for designing, SketchUp is very USEFUL!. It can quickly create a dozen or more of the earliest design options and working them into other document drafting programs is very simple.
Pros
SketchUp is super easy to use. I love the functional 3D navigation it comes with. The 3D Warehouse has a large selection of pre-modeled content. It also doesn't limit design and building which is great.
Cons
When working with large files, it takes a little time to get back on track if you haven't consciously kept everything nice and orderly as you go along.

In all, my experience with it lasted for more than two years and I am very happy to use it throughout this period
Pros
Ease of dealing with it, which makes learning it can be done individually without the help of a specialist, using it in drawing and designing kitchens and apartments quickly so that I can deal with customers comprehensively faster and get their modifications immediately
Cons
The sample menu needs some updates to keep up with modern interior design codes

A User-Friendly 3D Modeling Tool
Reviewed on 2023/03/27

As someone who has used Sketchup for several years, including as a student and professor teaching it for landscape architecture and architecture, I can say that my experience with the software has been mostly positive. One of the things I appreciate most about Sketchup is its user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to learn and use even for those with little to no experience in 3D modeling. The software's tools are intuitive and allow users to create accurate and detailed models quickly. The Warehouse feature is also a great asset, as it provides access to a vast library of pre-made 3D models that can be used in designs, saving time and effort in the modeling process.However, I have found that Sketchup can be limited in its ability to handle large-scale projects or complex models, particularly when it comes to working with vegetation or other natural elements that can slow down the software or cause it to crash.
Pros
- Sketchup has a user-friendly interface that is intuitive and easy to learn, making it a great tool for beginners and professionals alike.- The Warehouse feature allows users to access a wide variety of 3D models, saving time and effort in the modeling process.- Sketchup is ideal for presenting design ideas to clients and stakeholders who may not understand technical drawings.- The software allows users to create floor plans, sections, elevations, and 3D models from a single drawing, streamlining the design process and saving time.
Cons
- Sketchup can be limited in its ability to handle large-scale projects, particularly when it comes to working with vegetation or other complex models that can slow down the software or cause it to crash.- The pricing of Sketchup can be expensive, especially for those who are just starting out or working on a limited budget.- The trial version of the software is only available for one month, which may not be enough time for users to fully explore all of its features.

I enjoy the unlimited creativity level of SketchUp. I know that I can find what I am looking for, or make it using the product. Hands down, my renderings have greatly improved because of the amount of quality 3D imaging and assets in their warehouse.
Pros
I enjoy that I can find most digital files in the warehouse to complete my design. I also love the ability to adjust and adapt most products to fit what I am looking for.
Cons
There are occasions that many items are bulky and not vetted before uploaded into the warehouse. This makes it difficult to outside rendering platforms to render interiors quicker.
