Pros

“I have used SketchUp in many projects for past companies - primarily early concept design, such as taking ideas and business proposals and giving it a hint of real life to be able to show stakeholders what the finished project could look like.”

Jack P.

Engineering Manager

“I've used Sketchup off and on for the last 15 Years, its my go to for larger visualization type projects, and more recently rendering.”

Kent F.

Product and Innovation Manager

“Me and my team we use this software in regular basis for client presentation, to get 3d renders and also to get 2d drawings for execution in the site.”

Saara P.

Interior Designer

Pros

“The catalog integrations are also helpful, allowing for relatively accurate specifications. When it works well, it really speeds up the design process and helps present a polished, professional package which I feel is great value for your money.”

Karly G.

President

“As a small design group, a menu option would allow us to pay for features we need and use vs. an excessive blanket annual fee.”

Diana S.

Senior Designer Project Developement

“The software is supported by a wide selection of manufacturer supported catalogs which makes ensuring the proper fit, finish, and textures for the renderings.”

Markku K.

Director of ops

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.”

Julian L.

Personal use

“Overall the software still kicks out the drawing that works to get the job!”

Rod H.

Civil Engineers III

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

Ben T.

Renovation Project Manager

Cons

“I would have given a 6 out of 10 2 months ago because I felt that the rendering software had been the same quality for many years and the long wait times on some files is frustrating, but with the new rendering upgrades and cloud storage I would give it an 8 out of 10.”

Crystal W.

Owner

“I am not sure what happened but the the new system is vey buggy and the drag feature will often lose contol and the cabinet will disappear or just plain drop off the grid and reappear when doing a renering.”

Patrick M.

Kitchen Designer, Project Estimator

“The lighting issues, how colors dont always show accurately and adding light washes out the rendering.”

Leanna P.

Manager
