In a short time you can reach an intermediate level of modelling, and there are many tutorials on the internet. If you add to this the large library of 3d objects available and all the plugins at your disposal, it is the perfect program. > > **Cons**: The only flaw it might have is that the pro version is paid, but it's worth it. > > I've been using google sketchup since university, in a short time I was able to present my work in 3d, and I've been using it ever since, and it's been 10 years now. ----- ### "SketchUp Review" — 5.0/5 > **Tanya** | *October 17, 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: That O was able to draw on my iPad with ease. > > **Cons**: It wasn’t too user friendly, it would sometimes draw a line where I didn't want it to. Some of the user tools are hidden and you need to really look for it. > > Overall it is a good program. If studied a little more I could've been able to master it. ----- ### "3d starter modeling" — 3.0/5 > **Taras** | *July 17, 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "excellent efficient and reliable application" — 5.0/5 > **Juan Pablo** | *July 14, 2022* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy it is to implement and how quickly models with a lot of information can be built > > **Cons**: sometimes in complex projects with a lot of information the app slows down or closes unexpectedly, but it is enough to have a little patience > > I really like how quickly models can be built and how easy it is to communicate initial concepts to be able to communicate ideas to third parties ----- ### "SketchUp - The Best Architectural Program" — 5.0/5 > **Dan** | *June 3, 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: SketchUp has to be the best Architectural program our company uses. It's easy to learn, work with, and implement features into the design > > **Cons**: One of the things that SketchUp is missing is a good built in rendering software. This would be ideal without going to 3rd party programs. > > Overall, for the price, reliability, and productivity that SketchUp delivers, it's completely unbeatable. It's an essential tool to keep in your toolbox and use long term. It's more efficient to use it to make houses, parts, or landscape plans than most other programs. ----- Page: 1 / 43\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/125039/sketchup?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/125039/sketchup) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
