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.”

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.”

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

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