The best 3D App for Non Engineers
Reviewed on 2024-07-03
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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

SketchUp is the best 3D modelling software from small 3d models to a whole lot urban development modelling.
Pros
The user interface, the straightforwards commands, and the drafting buttons makes SketchUp the easiest 3D modelling software to jump start with and become a 3D modeller professional. So, the learning curve for SketchUp is fast once your familiar of extensive features.
Cons
The software is kind of addictive, for once you start you can go on and on to enhance your 3D modelling as quickly and easy as possibly be.

Built-in analysis tools should be there. But the user-friendly interface and large online community have helped me to create 3D designs quickly and efficiently.

Integration with other 3D modeling software and design platforms.4. Powerful 3D modeling tools, including push and pull, offset, and follow-me.5. Ability to import and export 2D and 3D files in multiple formats.
Cons
Training is needed for beginners to master the software. Limited advanced modeling capabilities compared to other 3D software and limited control over textures and materials.
