Every design software needs a time to learn but by using SketchUp I personally save lots of time. As a construction company, we use outputs of this software to make a clear picture for the clients about the project. Importing and exporting data is very much friendly since it allows to import of data in various formats. > > **Cons**: When it comes to animation, It is time-consuming to learn. > > I use SketchUp personally for my freelancing work as well as in my profession as a planning civil Engineer. It is important that there are paying categories in this software so that I could use shop pricing plan for my personal business and studio pricing plan for the company. So far it has not disappointed me in designing with SketchUp. It is a good experience. ----- ### "Imagination to virtual reality" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *March 4, 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and user-friendly for beginner > > **Cons**: costly for small-scale firms and individuals. > > overall good experience and user friendly ----- ### "Sketch up good for basic design" — 3.0/5 > **Gregg** | *May 12, 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s easy to implement, moderately priced and simple learning curve. > > **Cons**: The quality of renderings does not come close to meeting the needs for our presentations. > > We used Sketch up before we fully implemented Revit and another plug in to create photo realistic renderings. ----- ### "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.
