Getting 3D construction drawings done at ease
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates SketchUp from other similar products?
Other designing software need to be installed in our PC and also needs to constantly updated. This issue is not present in Trimble Sketchup Pro, as there is an online version that can directly be accessed through Internet.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Getting the design concepts made is fun and easier, as the user interface is very friendly.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Getting high-level finishes is quite tedious, thus making it quite tiresome to implement them.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
For anyone interested in BIM Modelling and construction-related design software, I highly recommend that they try Trimble Sketchup Pro to get a feel for preparing designs.
Pros
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy
