The Simplest Modeling Application
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates SketchUp from other similar products?
It's the simplest 3D modeling application I've ever used. It has a distinct drawing style. In a relatively short period of time, you can create a 3D model of your home.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like the new Sketchup version and how they implemented cloud computing. You can now create sketches in an internet browser. I also like that it has low system requirements, so it does not require an expensive setup to use.
What do you dislike most about this product?
What I dislike is the section on the lake of analysis. Sketchup is primarily a modeling application that is used to create a sketch of what you want to produce or build, for example; it cannot perform complex analyses.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This is a very useful application, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to create a 3D model of an object or a product in their head and wants a simple application to use without prior experience in modeling applications.
