The best 3D App for Non Engineers
Reviewed on 3/07/2024
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.

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.

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.

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.

Pros
I like that with SketchUp it is easy to draw all that you need. SketchUp is very easy to learn and new users very quickly start to use it. I also like it user-friendly interface.
Cons
It may has performance issues for very complex models and some users miss advanced rendering capabilities, but for me it is enough, because I use it mainly for floor plans.

We use this program as a beginning step in our selling process When trying to provide a concept or visual experience for our customers who are considering a home renovation.
Pros
We enjoy that Sketch up is easy to use and learn and is promising for all levels of designers. My students are able to quickly pick up the functions and start designing. There are many ways to learn from other users which helps to problem solve certain situations.
Cons
I would really like to be able to develop a floor plan with dimensions allowing my students to be able to create a project management starting point.

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.
