SketchUp is a computer-aided design solution best known by the ease of use. Using the application is as simple as drawing with a pen and paper. It utilizes the direct editing push and pulls technology which ensures users get up to speed in generating the everyday items. Its user interface, on the other hand, imitates a dead simple UI, but it’s well-crafted to rival the most powerful CAD software around.
Maneuvering around this program is pretty easy thanks to the highly customizable palettes. The program gives you the freedom to add, remove, or rearrange the palettes to appear the way you want. Its large icon replaces the feature list of most CAD software thereby allowing the user to easily find the commands. Most the features provided by Sketchup are fundamentally focused on 3D designing. However, the program has features and tools that support 2D designing. This makes it an ideal application for beginners looking to plan, visualize, and communicate future construction projects.
There are three modules of Sketchup available. The Sketchup Free, which is the simplest and most accessible 3D modeler around; Sketchup for school, a core modeler that is available in web browsers; and the SketchUp Pro a paid version that provides additional functionality. These modules cover a wide scope and ensure there is a perfect version for different designer across the entire industry

What do you dislike?
Everything really works very well, however one of the biggest disadvantages is that you must have a computer with a powerful memory card for the use of the software to be feasible and efficient, it is the only bad thing for me.Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Great experience to be able to create plans allowing the modeling of any element, it helps a lot to have the measurements and minimize the error, especially in 3D modeling projects it was a complicated matter for the company, since there was no such tool that allowed to carry out this type of works, but thanks to SketchUp everything is going perfectly.Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
