Incredible easy to use 3D and 2D software.

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Trimble SketchUp Pro from other similar products?

The free version of SketchUp, called SketchUp Make, is geared toward individual use, while the paid version, called SketchUp Pro, is built for corporate and professional applications and needs a subscription.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

When it comes to visualizing designs from beginning to end, SketchUp is an excellent tool to use. Any stage of the design process, whether conceptual, site development, or structural, are all appropriate times to implement its utilization. In addition to this, it is an excellent method for selling your company and assisting your customers in imagining their new homes.

What do you dislike most about this product?

SketchUp's import compatibility with other modeling programs needs improvement. Adding tools that extend consistently regardless of size or factors that cause slopes, such winding roads or highways, would make last-minute changes easier. Restoring PDF import without a third-party plugin. PDFs are sometimes the only file format accessible.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Recognize the constraints that come with using this product. Contrary to software like Revit, SketchUp was not developed with the purpose of producing Construction Documents. Customers like it as an additional tool that helps them better understand the design idea at hand.

Pros

  • Efficient Service
  • Effective Service
  • Saves Time
  • Acts with Integrity
